Create Your Own Adventure- Emily Chavez

Prompt One: What is your favorite social media website? Why?
Prompt Two: In what ways has social media changed your life? 
Prompt Three: Do you think social has provided a good method of communication or a distraction?

My favorite social media is definitely Instagram. I have spent a lot of time building up my follower to following ratio and it took a lot of strategic 'gramming to become the Instagrammer today. I enjoy the challenge of picking the best filter for the picture because it's never the same for any two pictures. Although time consuming, I will spend hours tweaking the picture until it is just right. 
It is also important to pick the best time to post to make sure your like game is strong. For example, posting at 3 am is not prime time because not very many people are awake. They say a magician should never reveal their secrets, but the prime Insta is from 8-10 on weekdays, and 9-11 on weekends. I am sharing that information with you because I want you to succeed in the Insta world. 
The caption creation is another reason I enjoy Instagram. I really stretch my mind in making clever and touching captions, depending on the feeling I am trying to evoke on my followers. There are several I am very proud of and if you would like to view them, you can follow me: ejchavez.
I also like the feeling you get when the little orange heart starts popping up on the screen of your iPhone. It builds your self-esteem and makes you think to yourself, "Wow, my filter and caption were great!". Instagram is not a game, it is not a website. It is a way of life. I hope everyone finds something that gives them as much joy as Instagram brings me.
