The Social Media class I took this summer was surprisingly better than I expected. It focused on practical skills rather than bombarding me with reading textbook chapters and other pointless busy-work. Instead, I learned how social media platforms differ from each other. I was also able to see new perspectives from other student that made me value some platforms that I was sleeping on. My favorite part of the course was being able to use a social media managing program. Getting certified on Hootsuite was the first time I ever had access to such a program. It was exciting because I could see how a social media manager could use that program to efficiently monitor, post, and respond to users on different websites. I also liked how easy it would be to do quick market research on competitors and partners. It was cool to post about things I normally wouldn’t. It helped me realize how easy it is to create content as long as you have reason behind it. The only thing I didn’t like about the ...

It has been a goal of mine for a while to start my own business. I have been putting it off for a few years now. Every time I think about it, I create dozens of excuses to convince myself that if I were to start today, I wouldn’t succeed. I’m too busy doing homework. Even if I could manage to spend one or two hours a day on my business, would that be enough time to get anything done? Should I sacrifice my effort and time to a business that statistically will fail? Those are only a few examples of dozens of excuses that run through my mind. I’ve made a few realizations through my time in college that specifically relate to businesses. Here they are: 1. You don’t have to be smart to run a successful business. A smart person will understand that its risks outweigh the rewards. However, someone with a dream won’t stop because they have failed. They will take as many risks as needed to achieve their goals. 2. It’s better to start today. You will fail and it’s better to fail early. 3...

With 27 individual skills to train, it can be intimidating for new players to approach the 15 year old game. Because it can take years to get a maxed out account, this is my list of the most useful skills in Runescape 3 so you can focus on what matters most! 10. Agility Training agility allows players to utilize shortcuts. It also allows players to run longer and rest faster. By training agility early on, new players can save hours of cumulative traveling time. 9. Dungeoneering Dungeoneering itself is not very useful. although it allows players to train multiple skills within the dungeon, the skills can be trained more efficiently using other methods. What makes dungeoneering a useful skill is the rewards . Dungeoneering tokens can be redeemed for all types of rewards including tier 80 weapons and the Charming Imp which automatically picks up charm drops. The resource dungeons like the one located in the Dwarven Mine has a deposit box which is especially useful to lower level p...

   I use the image editor available on Fotor all the time. I consider it to be one of the best free online editors available. It has many features and tools that were initially designed specifically for photos but has drastically expanded to be used to edit all types of images. Some of its features include multiple font options, templates for social media posts, image shapes, a library of sticker overlays, the ability to download your own images and overlays, size adjustments, cropping, lighting effects, a transparency tool, background remover, portrait retouching, filters, and so much more! The best part of the program is that once you create an account, it is free to use forever without being limited to a trial like other online editors. The majority of these features are free for anyone to use. However, there is an option to upgrade your account to have access to everything Fotor has to offer. The simplicity of the website makes it more user-friendly than other premium e...
