About the Author

My name is Mikah Hobson. I am from a small town not more than an hour away, called Imler, where everyone knows everyone. I went to a small, local high school where I was very involved, being active in almost every club I could be and playing three sports. That's how I learned to be as social as I am today. being involved with so much helped lead me to where I am today along with my major.

Today, I am a senior here at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. I am seeking a major in communications along with a minor in writing. After this semester, I hope to also declare a related area in PR/advertising or digital media. All of that is what lead me to this blog!

I am taking writing for digital media this semester and that class requires each student to have On my blog I must write weekly blog posts about a journal prompt I complete each week that corresponds with an Instagram post. I am hoping to link the two accounts but since I am new to all of this it may take me some time to get it set up right. This blog post will be open to the public so that my classmates, professor, and anyone else interested can check it out.

I hope you enjoy what you read! All feedback is welcomed, both postitive and constructive, so if anyone wants to contact me don't hesitate to shoot me an email at Mih85@pitt.edu!

Is it Really Plagiarism if it's Your Work?

This week we had three prompt options to choose from that included: "Make a poem out of newspaper headlines" or "Plagiarize yourself. Find an old piece of writing, cut it up, rearrange it, and past it here." or "Make a collage from items in your wastebasket [or steal scraps from someone else's wastebasket.]" This week I had a hard time choosing between all three of the prompts because they were all very intriguing. The prompt I ended up choosing to do was "Plagiarize yourself. Find an old piece of writing, cut it up, rearrange it, and past it here." I chose this prompt because I find it odd that one can plagiarize oneself but I guess it's possible and I wanted to try it for myself. I thought plagiarizing myself would be the easiest thing in the world. I was wrong. I found it more difficult than taking things offline and citing them. I did not want to break my own line of thinking in my original paper but for the sake of this prompt I ...

"What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?"

I find myself challenged with the prompts every week. I found this weeks prompts, "What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?" and "Who do you feel are your competitors? Could you turn them into collaborators? How?" to be the most challenging so far. The prompt I chose to do was "What are you hoarding for yourself that could be shared with others?" I did not write anything long or elaborate on this page because I find myself keeping what I wrote on this page to myself often. I wrote four words on this page, "My thoughts or feelings."  Growing up I was always afraid to speak out in fear of being rejected even though my dad always told me to stand up for what I believe in even if no one else does. It has always bothered me that I always kept quiet because some conversations I have been apart of in high school would really fire me up. Instead of saying anything I would simply nod or say, "alright" and walk...

Florida Fun- Final Project

My project consists of an Instagram and a website. The Instagram is titled “ summerfloridafun, ” while the website is titled, “ Florida Fun .” It took a lot of patience to create my project because I used Wix to create my website and this was my first time using Wix . My goal for this project was to outline my many adventures I took while living and visiting Florida over the past three summers. The purpose was also to keep track of where I was and what I was doing and how I felt when going on these many adventures. My process was a complicated one. It always takes me forever to get an inspiration or idea. My idea took me awhile to fully get in my brain. I know I wanted to expand on my location based narrative but I didn’t know how. I wanted to do something that meant something to more than myself and that would get people interested. The technology I used was my macbook, Wix, and Instagram, along with Google . The three characteristics I used were location based, nonlinear, and...
