When I first Googled myself I was surprised with the results. I have not Googled myself in a long time, and I do not to it very often. I did not find a lot of my social media profiles, aside from my Linkedin profile. What I did find was some photos on Google Images of when I played volleyball. A few from when I was in High School, and when the Everett Herald did a section about me and a few of my senior friends on the team. I also found my profile picture of where I worked online. It was a little surprising, but since it was an established business that I worked for I think it was justified since my profile picture was on their website. Besides that I did not find any of my social media accounts like my Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat probably due to the fact that I do not actively use a lot of my social media platforms.

The three social media profiles I decided to analyze were my Snapchat account, Instagram account, and my Pinterest account. These three social media apps are the three that I used the most even though I do not post on them often; they are the ones I check most frequently and I use most often. I usually check all three in a row right before I go to bed and when I wake up because that is usually the most time I have throughout the day to be on social media, however, I do quickly check Instagram throughout the day if I am waiting in line for something or etc. For Snapchat, it is difficult to get a sense of who I am because I do not post a lot on stories, and I only really use personal conversation between my close friends. On Instagram, I think you could get the best idea of who I am as a person. I post maybe once or twice a month, and the photos are usually of my family, places that I hike or visit, or my friends. I never really post a photo of just myself. I do not have a lot of followers, and also I do not follow a lot of people because I am very picky of what I want to see when I go on social media. Finally my Pinterest account is very minimal as well. I think I only follow about three or five people. I only have a couple of private boards because I like to think of myself as a private person who does not like to share a lot of things out in the open. I mainly use Pinterest to explore and looks up crafts and recipes.

I am not sure if I would want to change who I am on social media because it is very minimal. I like not being completely attached to social media or very engulfed. I enjoy remaining on the surface level on social media; I guess it is just the way I am. I do not think anything is wrong with using social media regularly. I think it was just how I was brought up because only everyone in my family does not use social media. Only myself and my older sister are the ones with Facebook accounts. So I think my family dynamic has something to do with way I rarely use social media. For my future plan to use social media, I think I will remain the same. I do not post regularly on social media, and I plan on staying with only posting once or twice a month, and whenever I actually do post on social media, I am and I plan to in the future to always be careful of what I post. I also keep in mind what I put on the Internet can effect my real life whether that be my personal life or my career life in the future.

These two, my niece and nephew, are the main focus of my social media. I mostly post pictures of them like the one above.
