Where’s Travis? an internet address

As much as I love the internet and everything it offers I actually don’t use it that much to hang out on social media. Personally I find it to be a waste of my time because if I’m going to hang out with someone online its going to be in a video game, or at least in a VOIP where many people are playing different video games but still talking to each other.

Now I do have social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter, but don’t expect to find me on there more than five times a year. If you want to find out what my interests are you can read a paper I put together on tweeted times about most things I like. Now if you are trying to find me in a more professional environment you can find my profile on LinkedIn for my past and present job experience.

Now where can you find me if you want to get a hold of me to talk and hang out? You can find me over at Discord.

Discord is a VOIP by gamers for gamers, DM me at KyotoGrayWolf#8545.

 

Ashley Jenkins and The Know

As many of you know, I like to watch The Know for much of my game and tech news. One of my favorite reporters they have is Ashley Jenkins.

Ashley joined the Roosterteeth family in 2014 when she created The Know alongside Meg Turney. Since then Meg has moved on to other projects but Ashley remains at The Know with Gus, Mica, Jon and others. Ashley can be found on twitter @AshleyJ posting about her favorite videogames or projects she is working on at Roosterteeth. She can also be found on instagram @Jinxcellent posting pictures of herself and her boyfriend Burnie and most recently her new hobby, armor smithing.

Another great way to find Ashley is through The Know’s page on Roosterteeth.com or through their own twitter @RT_TheKnow where news in the gaming world and tech world are posted every day.TK.PNG

Curation of Ann Arbor’s Greek Life

In the past, Ann Arbor has not always had the best name for Greek Life. There are many negatives that have led to today’s situation.

On Thursday, November 9, all Greek Life activities were suspended at the University of Michigan – Ann Arbor. Hazing and sexual misconduct was occurring, even though both of those issues are illegal at the university. During the weekend of the football game versus Michigan State, there were “30 hospital transports.”

Now as of 2018, it is being required that if those that wish to participate in Greek Life, they must complete 12 credit hours at the University. This means that no freshmen would be allowed to be recruited until the winter semester. It is now an issue of how housing is going to be effected.

A meeting with a greek life advisor is now mandatory due to Ann Arbor’s campus, which is effective at every branch.

Where might I be?

As an active journalist, I focus on social media to reach out to people and find out what people want to know.

My Twitter (@bychanelstitt) is what I use the most to find out what is occurring right in the moment. I use it to keep up with television shows and to find out local news.

Connecting with family is one of the most important things to me and I do this through Facebook.

At times, I get creative and collaborate with my friends to make videos and post them on YouTube. My music playlists are always updated on Youtube and Soundcloud.

As I further my career, I have been building a portfolio to send to employers and potential internships. Including work samples is an important part of this in the journalism field.

MLive’s constant updates through Twitter

When aggregating news on Twitter through Nuzzel, it is easy to see what the people in Ann Arbor are talking about. MLive has recently been retweeted by several of my followers.

MLive is a media organization based in Ann Arbor. They report on breaking news, sports, college and lifestyle along with many more topics. Their content keeps the public informed not only through social media, but through their weekly newspaper as well.

One story that immediately caught my attention is the trending topic of the University of Michigan – Dearborn. It is now a requirement that in order to join Greek Life, one must complete 12 credit hours and do well in that semester. This decision was made without consulting with the public, which caused an upset on campus.

Nuzzel allows the opportunity to see this post quickly due to the buzz surrounding it. With a large following of Ann Arbor’s students, it is very popular on my Twitter feed.
