You Wouldn't Believe This Class Assignment

New social media page.

You Wouldn't Believe This Class Assignment
@info.industrynews

As a college student, with a minor in both communication arts and music, I am always finding ways to take class projects to the next level.

This past semester, I had a class assignment for a News Media course I was taking at St. John’s University. Which (btw) is the school I go to.

For those who may not be familiar, “News Media” is a type of communication arts class.

Though this article is not about bragging about how much I enjoyed the class, I do want to express how enjoyable it was. Overall the professor was simply great, and I appreciated taking on this new responsibility of posting content to a new page.

So exactly what was the project?

The purpose of the project was to select a social media platform and post about topics or issues that are interesting to me, with a purpose.

Disclaimer: Professor, if you are reading this, and my above sentence is not the gist of the project, I sincerely apologize.

I decided to create a page related to “Industry News,” thus the name of the page, @info.industrynews.

The idea of behind the social media page was to relate to @theshaderoom. However, it felt like too much pressure. There would have to be constant posting, and all eyes and ears would need to be everywhere. To be quite honest, I didn’t have time for all of that. Instead, the account became a fun page related to that of Complex or Billboard magazine (but catered to my brand).

If you’re a reader interested in following the page, read more!

So first and foremost, my involvement in interning with entertainment companies has made me familiar with music, fashion bloggers, beauty gurus and more. My love and understanding of this industry just felt so natural to me that I wanted to expand my brand.

Beginning Stages

At first, it was a bit difficult for me keep up with posting content.

During the creating stages, I originally made a Tumblr in hopes of challenging myself as a social media user. However, I quickly lost interest in the platform and made the switch to Instagram, a much more engaging and convenient environment.

Purpose

Keeping individuals up to date on the latest news and trends in the entertainment business. As the content lead and strategist, the page seeks to target individuals who are into, music, news (mostly celebrity), and fashion.

Indirectly, I sincerely hope to inspire others to create their own content. By running the page on my own, and creating my own version of what I think looks good, I want to push others to do the same. As a personal attribute, I’ve always wanted to create a page solely focusing on creating content and audience engagement. However, I knew I didn’t really have a strong support system (friends who would promote the page, out of the kindness of their hearts). Having the class assignment as a reason to do this page, allowed me to be me.

Content

As mentioned before, I offer three different aspects of the entertainment industry. This includes music (the latest trending songs/albums), news (an interesting article that I’ve read that I believe is worth sharing), and fashion (what’s the latest trend or newest releases).

Fun Fact: The content is posted exactly in that order.

I aim to provide my followers with the latest material they’d need to know. For example, (Music) Rita Ora, Cardi B, Bebe Rexha, & Charli XCX just released a single on Friday (my platform covered that information). (News) Janelle Monae revealed in an interview last week that she is pansexual. Don’t know what it was? Check out my Janelle post for more information. (Fashion), what are my Met Gala looks of 2018? Definitely check those out.

Ultimate goal

To invite everyone interested view my page.

In the end, if you decide to follow the page, please message me so I know! In all, thank you for the support!

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
