Personality: A personality trait of mine would be healthy. I'm not doing this in any way to brag or anything, but it is something I am proud of only because I used to be the total opposite. I used to eat strictly only pasta, chips, ice cream, and drink only soda.  Once everything caught up to me and I realized how unhealthy that was to be doing that daily, I decided to change. I now try my best to live a healthy lifestyle and I would consider that one of my strongest traits about me considering I have worked so hard and it became a routine of mine.  Self Introductory:    There is two big things you should know about me, and those two things would be how much I love my dog and how much I love spending time with my friends. My dog is seven years old, he is a shih tzu, and his name is Buddy. He is like a little fluff ball and is a very calm dog, not too jumpy and doesn't bark much unless he sees another dog. If I am sad, he is always right there to mak...

Photographers Using Social Media In my town, there is a few known photographers that put themselves out there on social media and try to attract mainly juniors in high school who need their senior pictures done for their senior year. When I was a junior, I was always seeing the people in the grade above me posting their senior pictures on social media. Not only did they just post their picture on Instagram and create their own caption for it, but I always noticed that in the caption they always tagged the photographer’s account in it and it was always “thank you so much for these beautiful pictures @ ______”. It then became time for me to get my senior pictures done so I scrolled through Instagram and looked for the names and account of those photographers and followed them. I decided to follow this account “Jillybean”, but her real name is Jill. One day she posted that she was going to do a “concept shoot” and if you wanted to be a spokesmodel for it, you would get ...

My name is Katelyn Valencia, I am a sophomore here at Westfield State University. I live in Courtney Hall, and I am an undeclared major as of right now.  I enjoy hanging out with my friends while I am here at Westfield. I was very lucky to find such an amazing group of friends here who make me happy and feel comfortable and happy being here. I am a very social person, I always like to be up and doing things with people instead of just being bored and doing nothing.  One thing I love the most is the beach. Summer is my favorite season and I enjoy laying outside and getting a nice tan and enjoying the warm weather. I don't like when it is too hot though so that is why I like the beach because it always has that nice breeze so it isn't sweltering hot. It also is very relaxing for me to lay out on the beach and to be able to just listen to the waves crash and everyone having a good time. I spent my entire summer with these two kids. I babysat them every week Monda...
