I use a lot of different social media platforms, but the one I use the most for communicating with is Snapchat. I started using Snapchat when I was in 8th grade, and back then I didn’t really understand it fully. As time went on I was able to figure it out and started adding all of my friends. I started using it because everyone else was and the idea of texting, but also sending a picture of something to a person sounded really cool. When I use Snapchat now a days I usually send a picture of my face or something cool to people when I communicate with them, just so it makes it more interesting to have a conversation with. The audiences that usually engage with my stories and snaps are people that are my age. Since Im here in Pullman everyone that I talk to are ages between 18-23 so the audience is very secluded. How I present myself on snapchat is pretty much who i am as a person, whether i take videos of me hanging out with alot of people or in my case since i live in a fraternity there are always constant funny interactions between the guys that are in my house. I also will take photos of cool backgrounds like if I go on a hike or if Im snowboarding I will take scenery photos. The only advice I could give someone who wants to start using Snapchat, is making sure you present yourself as to who you are and not someone who is trying to impress other people. If you do that you will be happier with the people you talk to on Snapchat.
Below is a video of my friend just having fun on the football field.
The first photo is a selfie I took of all my brothers on a hike in Idaho.
And the other photo is another hike with my best friends.
