Quinnipiac Assignment #1 – A Day in My Life in Social Media

A Day in My Life in Social Media

This was my first assignment for Quinnipiac University’s Social Media Platforms course, with Professor Eleanor Hong. I had not made a video in years and was anxious to get it right. This was also the first time in several years that I had taken any sort of a class. That is, where I would be receiving a grade. It was about a day in my life in social media.

This class was the first of three for Social Media Certification.  Or it can count as an elective for a Masters’ degree in Communications  with a Social Media concentration. As of the original writing of this blog post, I was not sure whether I wished to continue all the way to a Masters’ Degree.

But Guess How I Did?

I need not have worried about this grade. And, it turned out, I need not have worried about nearly all of my grades in the Social Media Platforms class. And I had such a blast taking these classes!

I ended up creating two separate videos, as the first one was too long, and I hadn’t mentioned podcasts, Tumblr, or Pinterest.

So, you tell me – which one do you think is the better video? I handed in the shorter one.

I think this second video rambles too much, it jumps back and forth a lot, plus I missed a few things, as I mentioned above.

But these are, essentially, the social media hangouts that I go to the most. And of course, neither of these videos actually takes into consideration the non-social media work that I do on computers. Such as reading homework, fiction writing and editing, and dealing with the ever-present onslaught of email.

Nine Years Later…

In 2023, a day in my life in social media is more like Facebook with smatterings of Twitter, LinkedIn, and the occasional smidgen of TikTok. Oh, and YouTube. Some things may have changed. But some other things just, kind of, never do.
