Experimenting with Instagram

Because what else can go wrong this year

Experimenting with Instagram

Social media is an amazing thing, but it can also be a detrimental place for your self-esteem and mental headspace. So why not experiment with it and see where it takes me!

I have always enjoyed fashion and putting clothes together, so I started a brand new instagram with simply that. Me, putting outfits together and posing in front of a self timer, what can go wrong! My idea here is to post a picture everyday and see what happens. Will hashtags propel me in a good direction or will simple one line captions push me to get more followers.

I think that the whole point of this experiment is to help me get out of the rut I've been in all of quarantine. I haven't ever liked the way I look or the way my body looks. Being stuck inside the house with a mother who judges your every move hasn't been helpful, so I think I've fell into a small hole and am trying to climb out. Maybe this instagram will help me feel somewhat better about myself, maybe this instagram page could lead to new opportunities (that I doubt). But I'm going to try to be consistent and push myself out of where I am comfortable. 2020 is almost over and maybe the next year will bring something greater, but one can only hope.

Maybe I'm putting too much hope into this project. I'm not really the most attractive person (and thanks to Tiktok, I feel even worse about myself!) so this will probably go nowhere. But maybe will a little time, a little faith and a little exposure, I can become something that I never thought possible.

Wish me good luck and hope for what this future leads me down. To becoming a name that's hopefully well known somewhere.

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.
