5 Things Wrong With Social Media #30DayBlogChallenge

Image
Okay I'll make a long story short and easy. I came across this post on Facebook (above pic), a 30 day writing challenge to help encourage more writing and embracing one's self. So being that I have a blog I am already a writer and for the most part I embrace myself. However I haven't introduced to my audience a more personal side of who I am; mainly just give my opinion on already existing topics of discussions. So I figured here's a chance for my audience to get an understanding of who I am. Day 1   Addictive First and foremost social media is addictive! People spend their whole day on social media; searching, watching, lurking about what other people are doing, so much that we even close contact with the real world. Yes, it's great that you can have information at an instance, but we have become dependent on the internet, especially social media. It's like our social skills are ruined because of social media.

Add Friends Did you know that you can add Snapchat friends without their username? Well you can use their Snapcode, it's like a QR code, but specifically for the social media network.  Your Snapcode is a yellow image with black dots and the Snapchat ghost, and can be found by clicking the white ghost at the top of the camera screen.To add new friends, you can take a photo of their Snapcode, go to the “Add Friends” menu and choose “Add by Snapcode,”  then choose the photo. A far simpler way to do it is to go to your Snapchat camera screen and focus on their code (no need to take a picture). The app will recognize what you’re trying to do and prompt you to add them as a friend. Replace the Ghost You can replace the regular ghost photo with a multi shot of you! The user is able to take a 7 shot collection of selfies in like 10 seconds, to use as their default profile picture.   Share content from “Discover” with friends Snapchat’s Discover feature allows majo...

On time and ready is what the punk rock group 5 Seconds of Summer did with their sophomore album Sounds Good Feels Good . The 17 track album released on October 23 includes the hit singles "She's Kinda Hot" and "Hey Everybody," which also went #1 on Billboard charts. Fans wasted no time making the album trend worldwide, and I can't blame them. Sounds Good Feels Good is an appropriate title for the album, because it stirs up those exact emotions. I enjoyed the album! Audiences of all ages can enjoy the album, ranging in topics from depression to society's value of the monetary system. The message in this album is that it's okay to be yourself and keep working towards your dreams.

I give the album 9 out o...

With all the media attention focused on Drake this year "Hotline Bling" managed to be the only single to reach #1 on Billboard. Drake released the video for the single yesterday and of course instantly the video became an internet sensation. The video shows Drake's dance skills as he is surrounded by of course beautiful women, and soon after the hashtag #drakealwaysonbeat began trending, which stemmed from the summer hashtag #beyoncealwaysonbeat. The memes are going crazy, it's hilarious.   Do you think Drake can dance?  Response to that question, Heck No. I means it's hilarious and definitely fits the mood of the song, but you're not Michael Jackson just yet Drake. Nice effort and fun to watch, and be a little more comfortable and you'll get there. As for audiences saying that the main girl in the video resembles Nicki Minaj, uhh I just don...
