Digital Storytelling Tools for 2017

The digital storytelling opportunities going into 2017 are more exciting than ever. Here are the latest three updates and tools I’m looking forward to utilizing.

Facecast: “The One Thing”

I enjoy reading theSkimm each weekday morning for the latest news as I commute to work. While theSkimm gives you a fun way to read your morning news, learn trends and win prizes, ABC News is now giving you a quick way to watch  the news each weekday. ABC News announced the launch of a social mediaContinue reading “Facecast: “The One Thing””

Unfollow

With the social media we all have to deal with interacting with past exes (hook-ups/partners/ones-who-got-away) that we really don’t want to. However, for the sake of coming off as the bigger person, we accept friend requests and deal with it. In these cases, the Facebook “unfollow” option and I are well acquainted.  I used thisContinue reading “Unfollow”

Wake-Up Call Wednesday: Dating & Facebook

Wake-Up Call Wednesday! We never like someone more romantically by friending them on Facebook. We start making assumptions and perceiving them in a different way than organically getting to know them. I embrace holding off from friending them until we’ve reached solid ground. We may never be on solid ground, but at least they aren’tContinue reading “Wake-Up Call Wednesday: Dating & Facebook”

A Spark? The Beginning of Passion?

In my touch of bold nature I have a history of being straightforward with my romantic intentions. I love the idea of meeting someone, saying you’re interested and then going on a date. Easy as 1,2,3. Just that happened a few weeks ago. I worked an event midsummer and met a guy named Stan (forContinue reading “A Spark? The Beginning of Passion?”

That Moment When…

We’ve all be in there in dating when we can’t believe certain things are happening. Someone was horribly bold enough to say and do something towards us. . . or we did something to someone. You stop in your tracks and ask, “Is this is really happening?” Below are 10 “that moment when” situations myContinue reading “That Moment When…”

Crushes Past Part Two – Stood Up, Hook Up and Vulnerable

Part Two picks up from my post on freshman year crushes. You can read it here: Crushes Past Part One ———- Sophomore year began feeling like being so close to the peak of this college mountain. I didn’t expect all the old faces turning into crushes. I really expected it to be a year withContinue reading “Crushes Past Part Two – Stood Up, Hook Up and Vulnerable”

Crushes Past Part One – Hugs, Friends and WHAT?

In the last two years, there is nothing like that pause I’ve experienced between asking a guy out and their answer. But what makes that pause horrible is when as soon as the words come out of my mouth or that text has been sent, I can feel the rejection coming like a train emergingContinue reading “Crushes Past Part One – Hugs, Friends and WHAT?”

Remember When. . .

There are those we care never to let go of. The people we want to stay in our lives forever because at one time they brought us such joy, calmed us down when we were upset — maybe on the verge of crying — or sat around doing nothing with us when no one elseContinue reading “Remember When. . .”

You Know How the Story Goes. . .

I knew I wanted my next post to be on friendship and yesterday, it came to me that I not only wanted to write about friendship but an unsung hero in my book. This weekend I looked at the PRIDE (LGBTQ) Student Union Facebook event for its general body meeting and I flashed back to myContinue reading “You Know How the Story Goes. . .”
