    Social Media Part 1: The Bad and the Ugly

    In this first part of our social media series, we examine our relationships with social media. We focus on how our use of social media has evolved throughout our lives and examine the negative ways in which social media has affected us. We also discuss what it means to plan to go into a career field where a social media presence is required.  We cover the "make instagram casual again" phenomenon, instant gratification online, social and aesthetic comparison online, reliance on social media during the pandemic, and the fast-paced, ever-changing media landscape. Check in next week for our tips on making social media a healthier space for you and why we think social media also has potential for good. (Layla recommended you check out "The I in Internet" from Trick Mirror by Jia Tolentino in her "what we're all thinking".)
