Welcome to my blog!

 Hi everyone! My name is Katelyn but I prefer to go by Kat or Kai. I was born and raised in Lakeland, Florida which is where I currently reside, I am an English major and intend to go through with a masters degree in library sciences. I love the ocean and animals that live in it which led to me getting my scuba license two years ago, my favorite sea animal is the cow-nose stingray! I have a girlfriend who is hilariously opposite to me, she’s an IT major with a love for numbers, and we have two cats named Snickers and Doober. I have had a few different jobs, one prior to college as a waitress, one seasonal position at a jewelry store, and one as a cashier at a grocery store. My favorite social media platform would probably be Discord just because of how flexible the platform is and how easily I can communicate with my community on it, this is my first time blogging so I will be interested in seeing how that affects my choice, if it does. I don’t believe I have actively read or interacted with any blogs so I can’t say I have any likes or dislikes about them.

Time Diary

    The app I chose to document my time on is Discord, because I believe it is the most active app I use. I use discord mostly through my phone but occasionally through my laptop, and after recording my activity I found that I only use the laptop for Discord once every few days whereas the app on my phone is used every day, multiple times a day. I chose to focus on weekdays so I recorded my usage over the course of Thursday, Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. Over the course of the four days I documented roughly three hours a day spent on Discord; about two of those hours are spent on messaging with the last hour spent on phone calls.       I spend roughly fifteen minutes in the morning when I first wake up reading and responding to any messages I missed while sleeping and/ or talking to my partner before we go to work or school. One hour of time is spent on a call with them at night before we go to bed to talk about our days and other miscellaneous topics that h...

Hands-On Assignment 2

        I would define social media as an online platform intended to connect communities, I would define social networking as a person or group reaching out through social media and events to extend their community and open themselves to new opportunities. I currently use Snapchat, TikTok, Pinterest, Discord, YouTube, and Reddit; I recently also used Instagram but deleted it at the beginning of the year.        I use Snapchat primarily to communicate with friends who live out of state and do not visit Florida often or at all; I use TikTok to get ideas for communication and gentle parenting tips with kids since I have a lot of younger cousins and one nephew who I watch during the week, and also for Dungeons and Dragons ideas or content as my girlfriend and I love to play tabletop RPG’s. Pinterest is similarly used for Dungeons and Dragons ideas or character art but also for home ideas and general aesthetic art. I use Discord to communicate with f...
