"My profile picture is just a really cute selfie of me, but I honestly forgot that's what it was."
"I don't just follow anyone."
"I don't care who follows me, but for people I don't like, I will remove them. I'd rather people not see my stuff than keep them as a follower for the sake of them following me."
From my account you can tell:
-I'm a student
-Who my friends are
-Where I'm from
"I don't have a lot of followers, but I guess because in my high school the culture was that you had to have followers on Instagram that I do have more than some. In high school that's how you were a person."
"I like to post with meaning, versus keeping an 'active' feed."
“I keep my photos pretty raw. I’ll do a little bit of face tuning… for red eye, something looks weird, or if there is a hair out of place. In [this] post I edited people out of the background.”
“I put New York rather than Fordham because I don’t want to align myself just with Fordham.” “I put The Women’s Network because I want people to look at it and join.” of a div block.
I love Instagram Stories. They're:
-Silly
-Fleeting
-Things I wouldn’t post on my grid
-Reposts of friends’ posts
-Music I’m listening to
-Daily thoughts
-Memes
Stories are “More authentic and definitely a more personal side of me.”
“Snapchat is the app I’ve had the longest. I got it in like 2013 when it came out… I did recently delete it. I never use it . I’m ‘off the snap-map’, haha.”
What’s your relationship to the people you interact with on Snapchat? “They’re from Tinder, Hinge, or Bumble… haha”... “That’s so I can verify they’re real and hot. It’s like a waiting room.”
“[When communicating one-on-one] I would normally just send a photo of myself, but then I would find myself–if I were having a conversation– it would be in chat.”... "If you need something from me do not Snapchat it to me because I will not open it in time.”
“I have two private stories. One is called “GleekDiaries” If we are friends in any capacity you are on that. The second is “DobbyLover69¾”. That one was extra private. But my life isn’t exciting and drama-filled anymore so I have no reason for that story.”
How do you decide on the caption?
“With some I tend to be more straight to the point. With ceratin people, we have always done pretty funny ones. It just depends on the repertoire we have.”
“My profile picture is a photo of me holding up my dad’s iPad in the mirror taking a selfie because I didn’t have a phone. I just thought it was funny.”
How did you decide to have a public account?
“I don’t think I did. I think I just made [an account] and it was public and I never realized it could be private"... "I’m not aware of [my transaction’s public record] at all. I don’t think about it.”
“I’ll post my Receiptify on my story.”
Do you share your Spotify Wrapped?
“Yes.”
Why?
"I just like the people to know what I’m listening to. My music is a pretty big part of my personality and so I post a lot about it”... “It lets other people know who I am and what I’ve been up to.”
“I don’t think followers on Spotify is important. I never even notice it.”
“I’m definitely aware of [the public record of playlists]. Not a ton but it’s there.”
“Twitter is like what the inside of my brain looks like.”
“It’s a little dog that my roommate sent to me and said, ‘This is so ‘you energy’’and I said you are so right!”... “It’s representative of my vibe.”
Walk me through this post?
“I can’t. It was a Monday, it was long day…I hate Mondays so I said ‘I’m pretty garfield coded.’ I hate Mondays and love lasagna.”
“My header is just these cute little hearts because I like hearts and I thought they matched the profile picture.” “My bio… I don’t know. I think that’s because I had my phase where I always said ‘Beep beep’... I really need to start saying that again.”
“I interact with a lot of fandoms on my Twitter, like that’s what [my feed] looks like, but I don’t repost them and that’s because of the fact that I have a lot of friends here. I would need another Twitter [account] for that.”
“These are just thoughts I have. I post when I think, ‘Oh this is good. The people would like this.’”“I tweet for my friends… Not a lot of people– my ‘intimate Twitter community’. I only have 30 followers.”
