Social Media Consumes My Life
When I got to college I was introduced to Facebook. I thought it was cool, it felt like a community within itself because of how specific it was to each university. It opened many doors in terms of meeting people, and allowed me to find friends from high school and stay in touch.
This was my introduction into the world of social media. I never would have thought that 4 years later my job and my life would be all about social media. This is the case however, and everyday I am amazed at how much of my life revolves around it.
I do work at Brazen Careerist, so I am sure that is one reason I am so consumed by this world, but it’s not like I am alone paving the social media path. There are people at every job, from secretary to police officer using social media to introduce themselves, their thoughts, and essentially their life to the entire world.
Some people think it is dangerous, and worry that in the future someone will look back at something they said, and hold it against them. In the words of Ryan Paugh, “so what”? He is right to say that, so what?? Everyone was a twenty something at somepoint, and things change over time, so do your opinions, your values, and your experience.
I am happy to be part of this social media world, and I am going to continue to expose myself to the world, build my brand, and push others to do the same. That is one reason I am back in the blogosphere!
