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!

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...

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words or Sometimes About 40.

This week we were asked to pick from two prompts titled, "Write a fan letter" or "What are the secrets of your trade? What would you lose by sharing them? What would you gain?" Instead of picking between the two prompts suggested I chose the prompt titled, "Pictures can say whatever we want them to say. (Come up with your own captions.)" This page shows six columns. The first three are triangles and the last three are circles. I answered the first row then had two friends answer the next two rows. The two friends I had answer the bottom two rows are engineers and I think some of their answers help show that. I found when I asked them to answer all they could think of were math equations used to solve for triangles and circles. I find the different perspectives very interesting. I chose to make this collaborative because we have been doing collaborative work in class. By working on a collaborative social media presentation, a collaborative narrative, an...

I was a Mother at 18.

This week we had the option to choose between two prompts: "Make up a really good lie about yourself to tell a stranger. Invent a story to back it up." or "Make a mixtape for someone who doesn't know you." As usual, I found both prompts intriguing and I am interested to hear the different mixtapes people made if anyone in class chose that prompt, but I chose the prompt "Make up a really good lie to tell a stranger. Invent a story to back it up." My lie is, I was a mother at 18. At 18, you think you know everything. You tell your parents, "I'm legally an adult, you can't tell me what to do!" If it is not that then it is something similar. You think you are your own boss and are mature enough to make your own decisions. I also thought this at 18, or at least I did until I was forced to make decisions for someone other than myself. Someone who was helpless, who relied on me to care for them and have their best interests in mind. At...
