Joined a New Online Community

Hi Classmates,

I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend!

Last week, I became a member of a new online community. Previously, I was only active in Carnival Cruise online groups where I connected with fellow cruisers. Recently, I decided to branch out and joined the Nike Run Club community. It has been an exciting shift as I’m now engaging with people who share my interest in fitness and running. This new space has already motivated me to stay accountable to a more active lifestyle. In the online community, we share running tips, progress updates, and words of encouragement. There are also virtual challenges and group runs that keep everyone motivated and connected. It’s been inspiring to see how supportive and goal-driven the community is, and it’s helped me push myself more than I would have on my own.

I wanted to share this because this class motivated me to join more online communities.

Current State of Mind

Hi Everyone,  I hope all is well! Summer classes have officially started, and it's time to get back to working toward our purpose — earning that degree we’re all looking forward to receiving. The two-week break we had before summer classes began was such a breath of fresh air for me. I was able to truly relax and not worry about schoolwork or writing papers (which is basically all I do as a Doctoral student — LOL).  Those two weeks flew by so fast! I did have moments where I felt like I was missing something because, for the past two semesters, I’ve always had something school-related going on. Now that summer classes are here, I’m back to doing schoolwork — and I lowkey missed it just a bit, only because it keeps me busy. Currently, I’m a little nervous about each of my summer classes because, after reading the syllabi, it looks like I have a lot of work ahead of me — especially papers! But on the bright side, all of my classes are online, so I don’t have to worry about comin...

Social Media Hashtags

 Hi Everyone,  Hashtags are sooooo DOPE!!! In fact, every time I post on any of my social media pages, I create hashtags because they help my content reach a wider audience and connect with people who share similar interests. Hashtags make it easier for others to find my posts, whether I’m talking about something fun, promoting an event, or joining a trending conversation. They’re also a great way to express creativity and add personality to what I’m sharing. For example, I use hashtags a lot on TikTok because my goal is to reach 10,000 followers. I always post vacation content as well because I know people are interested in that.  Please see below an article I wanted to share with you all regarding hashtags. This article provides information about hashtags, disadvantages and advantages of using hashtags and how to use them.   https://www.ama.org/marketing-news/social-media-hashtags/ - India Woods

Let's Talk about Twitter AKA "X"

 Hi Class,  In this blog, I wanted to talk about Twitter but now known as "X."  Writing these blog posts reminds me a lot of how "X" works such as sharing thoughts and ideas in a quick and engaging way that sparks conversation. While our posts here tend to be a bit longer, the way we share and connecting is very similar. Both platforms give us a chance to express ourselves, reflect on ideas, and interact with each other.  If you don’t already have an "X"  account, I’d encourage you to consider giving it a try. You will be able to stay informed about current events and build a network of people with similar interests whether personal or professional.  As you can see I've been referring to Twitter as "X" because the platform officially rebranded itself with that name which marked a significant shift in its identity and direction. Some people love the changes and others don't. Please see below an article that I wanted to share with you all a...
