They Loved Your GPA, Then They Saw Your Memes.

Well, hello. Today I read an article about being aware of your social media when applying for colleges. At first, it gave examples of students who were rejected by admissions because of their social media posts on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter etc., but were never told the reason why. Next, the article came to urge us teens to filter out incriminating posts and tweets which would have you appear as the delinquent you truly are. 

I was already aware of this, however, so I just nodded my head along to what was being read aloud. 

So, now that you and I know that college admissions are stalking our profiles, we are better prepared to 'filter' our posts and tuck them away in that "cringe" album in our gallery. Unfortunately, that would make my Instagram devoid of any photos. Time to delete my account.

Elevator Pitch for Graphic Design

Q: What is an Elevator Pitch? A: An elevator pitch is an opportunity to express your skills, faults, and characteristics that would convince a person of importance to hire you for their company. However, the catch is that you have to explain all of this in under sixty seconds; the time it takes for an elevator to reach the top floor.

Q: What do you do well? A: I am a very fast learner, and I am able to understand new subjects very easily. I am also able to think from different perspectives, which allows me to design better videos, art, and all sorts of different media. Q: What is the best compliment you’ve ever received? A: It would have to be when I submitted my works to a college professor, and she replied back, saying they were equal to, or even better than, a lot of her current students. Though, she did point out many flaws, and I hope to correct them in my future creative work. Q: What are your strengths in these skill areas? A: I am a very creative person, and I pay great attention to detail, pushing myself to create the best art I can. Q: What would you like to do and what is your motivation? A: I would very much like to learn how to use Photoshop, and other image editing programs. I love creating art and scenery, and hope to make more while in this class.
