My use of social media

I definitely use social media more than I would like to admit. Social media to me acts as a source to fill time, meaning when I'm bored or not doing anything then I will check social media.

I use Facebook occasionally because I enjoy the news articles, and it is also a way that I can stay connected with my family. No one of my own age avidly uses Facebook anymore. I also find myself using Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat most of the time. It is a way to stay in touch with friends as well as a way to express oneself. I believe that you can tell a lot from a person by glancing over their social media. That is why I also believe it is important to be cautious about what you post. You never know who is looking.

Fall Feelings

Hi lovely Cmat classmates! I’m absolutely having the Autumn feels today after only a few days of cool weather. It’s my favorite time of year! I look forward to the leaves changing colors, cozy sweaters, coffee, Halloween, Thanksgiving, the holiday spirit, brisk air, pumpkin patches, football season, and much more. What’s not to love?

As you all can probably tell from my last post, I am a nature enthusiast. With fall being the most beautiful time of the year, I encourage you all to explore and get your hike on! Some of that cold, Fall air will do your lungs good! One of my favorite spots is Pemberton Park, so go check it out. I will most likely re-blog some lovely pictures that I come across on here, as well as post some of my own pictures that I acquire from my hikes. Stay tuned!

About Me

Hello everyone! My name is Rachel Vernon and I am a senior here at SU. I’m majoring in communications (public relations/journalism track) and minoring in sociology. 

My plan after graduation is to work for a music-related PR firm or a record company as a tour publicist. The job entails traveling on tour with a band or musician and coordinating their radio, television, and news interviews as well as organizing press conferences while on tour. Music and travel are two big passions of mine, so I would love to incorporate them into my professional career. 

A few hobbies of mine include hiking and nature walks. Anywhere with a beautiful view and I am automatically hooked. I feel that surrounding yourself with fresh air and natural landscape allows you to free your mind, body, and soul, and also relieves stress.
