UofM Lacrosse

I started following the University of Michigan Men’s Lacrosse Team on Twitter.

I have been to a few lacrosse games, and was surprised by how excited I was. I only discovered the game of lacrosse five years ago.

During the Senior’s Game, on April 21st, UofM played against John’s Hopkins and lost by one point, 30 seconds before the game ended.

The UofM Lacrosse Twitter feed has gotten a lot better over the years. Their media presence has been a lot better, and includes comedic gestures. For example, a play on the player’s last name’s were used for Valentine’s Day cards.

Vanishing messages

Snapchat is an amazing social media platform. While the deletion of messages/pictures was originally intended for “sexting,” Snapchat has grown to so much more.

Keeping in touch with your friends is something humans have been doing for ages.

Snapchat is a quick way to send friends messages and keep them posted on your day to day life without the slower connection of texting. Snapchat, however, does tempt people to do worse things, in my opinion.

With the knowledge that messages/pictures disappear, the increase of threats, whether they be towards individuals, schools, and bullying, are on the rise.

While there has been some bad produced, Snapchat is a fun fast way to keep in touch with friends. It’s also very addicting!

 

All about me

With the ever so rampant exposure to the lack of privacy, I choose to not include a lot about myself, online.

Thanks to COMM 331, I do have a Twitter, and TweetedTimes account. For professional purposes, I have a LinkedIn account, but it is private to nonmembers of the website.

While I try and stay anonymous, online, there are individuals who post things about me.

Here, for example, is a time when I was at Wayne Statue University, recruiting for Crain’s Detroit.

Saudi Arabia’s first fashion week

Headline reads:

Saudi Arabia’s First Arab Fashion Week Kicks Off, Beyond Fashionably Late

This headline covers the Who:Saudi Arabia, What:Fashion Week, When:Fashionably Late (being the present), Where:Saudi Arabia,

Saudi Arabia is known as a very conservative country, so I was shocked to see that they had their first Fashion Week, recently.

Fashion Week revolves around the expression of clothing which, in Saudi Arabia, has been blocked by the government to be mainly black modest clothing.

Though, Saudi Arabia did stick to its true nature and ran on “AT,” better known as Arab Time, and launched two weeks after the planned date, due to logistical reasons.
