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!

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...

Favorite Method(s) of Procrastination

This week we had the option to pick between the two prompts titled, "Describe your favorite method of procrastination. Can you come up with a more productive one?" or "Chart your latest project against this shape. In what ways does it match? In what ways does it differ?" As per usual, both prompts sparked my interest but when it came down to picking one I chose the one titled, "Describe your favorite method of procrastination. Can you come up with a more productive one?" One of my most common methods of procrastination, like many of my peers, is my phone. Social media, texting, and music are my main problems when it comes to turning to my phone instead of my schoolwork or whatever else I am supposed to be doing. I would say my next most common method is food. When I am working on something I am constantly thinking about everything in my kitchen cupboards and refrigerator. I am constantly snacking and it drives me crazy. I should probably weigh like 50...

PostSecret

First, I want to start off by apologizing for this weeks response being so late. Last week was Thanksgiving (I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday filled with family) and Black Friday. I spent my holiday working retail with little sleep so that is why this post is so late, please forgive me. This week, or should I say last week, our prompt option was a little different. We were given the reading assignment titled, "Who are the people whose digital presence or identity you most admire? Your favorite Instagram/Snapchat/Twitter feeds?" We then had to pick two of them and answer a few questions. The assigned prompt this week was titled, "Climb up your own creative family tree." This creative family tree's purpose was to show me what different social media sites and pages I look at and where I get my inspiration for my own posts. I found this tree to be very difficult and exhausting since I try to be original when it comes to creating my posts. I found this w...
