Social Media Bios

the hardest part in making your social media profile is not the username... its the bio. the bio can make or break your page. what will you write? should you even use words? what about just emojis? short and sweet? or sassy and structured? here are three examples of social media bios

Conventions:

• short
• funny
• straight to the point
• creative/unoriginal
• slight emoji use 
• informal/formal
• differs person to person
• is on your social media profile  (i.e instagram, or twitter)

Rhetoric:

• audience- any other user within that social media app, potential custemors, followers, 
• purpose- to reel people in; to inform users of who you are/ what you do; to entertain; to sell

annotating 101 - learn from the pros

if you saw my annotations in person, they look like chicken scratch. thanks technology.

raz (yours truly): 

• uses underlining of certain pieces of text that she really agrees with, and makes her think
• dashes to draw her attention to key facts of his argument
• stars and circles for things she likes and didn't understand, respectively.

Quite honestly i annotate as if i am thinking on paper, and very random. 

keymerz:

• underline and circle
• sad or smiley faces
• looked for facts she didn't agree with or didn't know

raet: 

* he is basic he highlights, bc he knows if he refers to it he will know what he was thinking

* highlights new words that are unclear or ?

* new facts

* talked about the authors recommendations

if the text is easy to read, or maybe if it isn't, annotation at my free will is useful. i can get through the reading in one go and not have to waste my time re-reading if i annotate correctly. 

i did not annotate in high school, but i should have, it makes english class easier.

a really boring, yet worthwhile, read.

yikes, here goes my cliche "about me" introductory post. (thanks zack)
i guess i should immediately make you aware of my lower case letter aesthetic, that will be prominent throughout my blog as it progresses. yeah, i have a thing for aesthetics, it is weird.
i do not think 100 words will give you a good idea of who i am, simply because there's so much more to me- or anyone really- than just 100 words. i'll give you the textbook basics of my life:

• i am an immigrant to the united states. my family and i immigrated here roughly a month or so after my 1st birthday from albania. i am 18 now. #aquariusgang 
• i do speak albanian fluently, hence the "bi" in my blog title, for bilingual ( the second bi is going to be explained shortly)
• i have lived in philly all my life, first in port richmond, and currently in northeast.
• no i will not say anything in albanian for you, anyways
• athlete at heart #soccer #softball #captainofbothteams 
• i am the most positive, and optimistic person you will meet, but i am very lazy
• my sarcasm and a dry sense of humor got me very far in life, an always made for a funnier conversation w/ me
• i am outgoing, funny  (or at least i think so) and always willing to learn or try something new, or meet new people
• that last bulletin is how i realized i was bisexual during my sophomore year of high school. i'll save you the cute coming-out story, and just let you know that my school already had a large homosexual population so it really was not a surprise to many. no my parents do not know. and no they do not need to, furthermore
• bulletins are not how you get to know someone, so i encourage you to talk to me, because you need to me meet to get the full experience. i think it would be worth it, many would agree. that sounds cocky, i am not cocky, i promise. but seriously do it.
• i  am always looking for new ways to improve as a student, but most importantly as a person.
• i cannot stress enough how much i love meeting new, and unique people. it is pretty great.
• i'd love to visit amsterdam. traveling in general is a big goal.
• i love music, and movies. yes. yes. yes.
• i am a coffee/buckies/espresso fiend - proudly. 
• i think film cameras and photography are beauitful
• vintage/old-school movies, clothes, and items really have my heart

• my favorite color is blue

congrats, you made it. im sorry i wasted a few minutes of your life. there's more to me, but i am a pretty boring person asides that.

- raz.
