Entry 3: Wait.. hold on.. let me take a selfie!

Image result for selfie
Hey Guys I'm back, This week my English 101 teacher asked me to listen to three teenage girls talk about the social media map of today. I must admit I was pretty impressed on how much I learned. There are plenty of social media websites such as Facebook, Instagram, Snap chat,Twitter,etc. Everything on social media pretty much revolves around likes, comments, shares, or views.They talked about how its a chain reaction on getting lots of comments\likes, so once you comment on friends picture or post they would return the favor and do the same. Today girls and women empower other girls and women by commenting saying
"oh your so beautiful" or "😍😍😍" underneath their pictures. They also talked about how on Instagram, they just "double tap" just to let the person know they seen the picture. What I didn't understand was why they send the pictures they were going to post in a group chat before posting the picture on social media.Their friends were going to see it anyway, I guess it's to save the embarrassment beforehand , which I could understand. Normally the first people who like and comment on my picture on social media are my best friends and boyfriend. It gives me a lot of confidence to know that I at least have their support.I totally agree when they said ''You normally get the most likes during the day or even at night" it happens to me all the time. If I were to post something at 2 am in the morning, I wouldn't get that many likes because not to many people would be up. I personally don't take social media serious but the likes are always cool...well bye guys until next time ..logging off but first let me take a selfie!

  2. i dont understand either the part that the girls were going to send the pic that they were going to post anyways. maybe it's pre approval from friends before posting them.
