Podcast 1: Social Media & Mental Health

 Introducing the first episode of my podcast titled Social Media and Mental Health. In the podcast I talk about some of the issues with social media and how it is impacting our mental health and lives. 

Today’s Podcast question is what are the things that we can start doing to help those struggling with mental health problems that develop from using social media?

    Hi Paige! I also believe mental health is so important and I don't think people take the time to focus on it enough. Thank you for talking about this and we should do more as a community to help our friends and family struggling with mental health. Even if they aren't close to us, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be willing to reach out to them to see if they are okay!

 Tomorrow I will be live-tweeting about one of my favorite podcasts of all time, Cheers Brother! A new episode will be uploaded tomorrow and I cannot wait to hear what they are going to talk about. It is hard to believe that they are on episode 18 when it feels like just yesterday my favorite YouTubers started the podcast. I have been watching Sarah and Caitlyn forever. They are YouTubers who live in California and started off making vines but it quickly led to their fame leading them to make youtube videos for their fans. I have followed them now for almost 5 years and I really enjoy their content. I am really grateful for youtube because it has allowed me to discover people who make me laugh and are just like me. Youtube has taught me so many things from make-up to cooking and now it's a place where I have found amazing creators.  Sarah makes quirky and funny videos about anything from her life, family, events, and her friends. She is hilarious and I always put on one of her vide

TikTok? Musically? Vine?

 Have any of you heard of TikTok? Chances are you probably have, or at least know someone that has the app. Almost everyone with a smartphone is obsessed with this new app that brings together always every aspect of social media. Challenges are usually the first thing people think of when they hear TikTok. That's because there are always new trends and challenges that users try. Most of the time they are pretty funny and engaging. The challenges really create a community and a sense of inclusiveness. TikTok is also extremely easy to use and has it's own video editing software with many filters and voice changes available. I would say the best thing about TikTok is the content. There are so many creative people who make paintings, sing, play instruments, design clothes, etc. There have been many people who have grown their popularity on the app just by sharing their art. There are now social media influencers who have risen to fame because of the app.  All of this is great but I

What I've learned

-
 Today I will be talking about what I learned in chapters 1, 2, & 3 of "Social Media for Strategic Communicators".  One of the interesting facts that I learned was that social media is a science. It involves research and knowing how to research. If you want to be outstanding at social media you must be able to familiarize yourself with statistics, Excel, spreadsheets, data, and other mathematical elements. I had no idea how important it was to understand how to work with mathematical elements. Social media professionals seem to do more than I thought. Another interesting fact is how important creativity is. It is obvious how valuable creative content is, but it can be hard coming up with new ideas every day. I see my favorite YouTubers who make so much content every day and I give them props. It seems highly difficult to put out quality and creative content each day. Another interesting concept from the chapters was the goals of social media and what it is about. The chap
