Overall, social media is a useful tool that can be used personally and professionally. Personally, it can be used to keep up with family & friends, hear bite-sized snippets about current events, get up to date with the latest celebrity dramas, and my personal favorite, is sending funny reels to my best friends in the middle of the night when I can't sleep.

Hi ! Welcome to my CSIT class blog. This isn’t the first blog I’ve created using Blogger. I have tried to start a blog a few times, but I can never stick with it. Hopefully, I’ll gain a new appreciation for blogging and keep up with maintaining one for business use. I had a difficult time choosing a blog theme because there were a few that I liked. I finally settled on the Contempo Aqua theme because the picture of the beautiful beach as the background image made me feel calm and serene, and teal is one of my favorite colors. I almost went with the Simple Pink theme because it felt clean and unobtrusive. The cursive font was also a nice touch but I would have changed the accent color to purple because that seems to be the color I am drawn to right now. At some point during this semester, I will most likely change the theme. Probably more than once. With so many to choose from, I figure, why not play around with the look and feel? So stay tuned.
