Social Media's Characters At Play

April 24, 2014


Welcome to My Reality

What is your opinion on social media?

I have mixed views on social media. Sites like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, ect have both pros and cons.

Pros
1. You can promote your business or creative endeavors like promoting your debut novel.
2. Being able to keep up with family and friends
3. It's also a way to keep up with announcements for your job. For example, the school where my mom works often post announcements like school closing due to weather, ect.

Cons
1. People can become quite obsessed with it and forget about the real world.
2. Drama tends to get started on Facebook, Twitter, ect, rather quickly and over the dumbest things too.


Here's one thing I've learned about social media. Make sure your loved ones are on board with you being on there. Talk to them about it. It will keep troubles at bay in your relationship if you do.

Do you play in your daily life? What says playtime to you?

Playtime.... I do play Hay Day on my android tablet. I'm on level 38. It's really neat to play this game about farming. It also has a cooking element too with a pie oven, cake oven, BBQ grill, ice cream maker, ect. I'm working on getting the jam maker before I get to level 39, so I can start making different jams.

News In My World!

I didn't sleep a wink last night, and I have so much to do today.

Here's my to do list
1. laundry
2. take out the garbage
3. clean my room
4. sweep
5. mop
6. dust
7. clean the bathroom
8. clean the kitchen

I wish my brother would pitch in, but he says that manual labor is for uneducated people, meaning that he has a master's degree in psychology, and I only have an associate's degree in accounting.

I better go and get started on the to do list!

Bye for now!
