Social Media and my Life

Social media is something that I have mixed feelings about. I love to get on social media to look at things that are funny. On twitter, I like to follow famous people and sports pages. I really just use twitter for my amusement and to se what my friends from high school are doing. Twitter is really something that connects the entire world. There is so many people in the entire world that has a twitter. I like Twitter and I really do not know what the social media world would be like without it. The thing that I do not like about twitter is some of the people on it. Some people just post really irrelevant things. Also there are some ignorant people on twitter that comment on thing they have no business commenting on. Those are the people that I simply just do not follow. Social media is also something that causes distractions. This is a very big problem that I have. I consistently find myself looking at my phone and getting on twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat when I do my homework. This always makes me finish my homework really late. I like Snapchat a lot. This is because it is something new that allows our generation to express ourselves. It also allows me to stay in contact with all of my friends. Many people that I know have deleted their social media accounts. I feel like I could do the same thing and be okay. But I know that I will not do that. I also know some people that have gotten in a lot of trouble for what they have posted on social media. For a picture or even what they said about a teacher or administrator. I do not use twitter, Instagram and Snapchat as much as a lot of my friends. I am not the kind of person that posts things every day. I sometimes even go a couple of days without posting anything on any type of social media. I always watch what I post and retweet on twitter because I know that my coaches and my dad both follow me. I know that if I post something bad, my dad will be the first person that I hear from. He has already texted me right after I posted something before and asked me questions about it. I think my dad needs to go back to Facebook.

My Great Family

I really do have a great, loving family. First of all, my parent have been the best parents anyone could ask for. My mom is always looking out for me. When I was in kindergarten, my mom always made lunch for me and my best friend that lived right next door to me. This is a memory that I will never forget. Almost every day my mom would make macaroni and cheese. She always knew that that was my favorite food. Ever since I left for college she has texted or called me every day telling me how proud she is and that she misses me. Her and my dad come to every one of my basketball games. And before each game she asks me if I need her to bring me anything. Usually she brings some food for me to take back to my dorm room.

My dad is like my best friend. Even though he can get annoying because he has a twitter and instagram. And he also has a snapchat, which I do not accept his friend request to this day. But other than that, my dad has been a really good role model and father. He was the one that got me hooked on basketball. He coached a lot of my teams and I appreciate him doing all of that. I know that he misses the opportunity to coach me but I also know that he is very proud of me because he tells me just about every day. The biggest memory I will have with my dad is that every Sunday my dad and I would go to the gym. He coached the eighth grade team at my school for a long time. So we just went to the middle school gym to get a workout in since he had the key to it. It would always just be me and him in the gym. I think I miss that the most. Even when I really did not want to go, I went. I knew that he really just wanted the best for me. That is why he is the best dad I could ask for.

Pets in my Life

In this blog I am going to tell you about how pets have made an impact in my life. The first pet that I ever remember having is a dog. My dogs name was Diamond. She was a kind of dog that many people did not know. She was a keeshond. That is a foreign type of dog from what I think Germany. I have the most memories with Diamond than I do with any other pet I have ever had. Diamond lived for a very long time. And when she was young she was always very energetic. I don't know what it was about trucks that drove by our house that had trailers attached to them, but every single time one of those drove by, Diamond would take off after it and try to catch it. Eventually she would give up and run back to the house. I remember writing about these incidents while I was in the first grade. Diamond was also not the type of dog that barked at and chased after cats. We had a couple cats and she would eventually make friends with the cat. Diamond was the only dog that my family had since I was born. We went through a couple cats though. The first cat we had was probably the best. My dad even liked it. I say that because he really hates the cat that we have now. The cat that we have now was a cat that my sister found and brought home. I like the cat, its cool, but it always pees in the house. Ever since I left for college, my cat has been on my bed constantly. My brother says that my bed smells terrible. We had two other cats before the one we have now but they both ran away. My favorite kind of pet is a dog. I really wish that my family got another dog after Diamond died. A dog was always something that kept people happy at the house. My sister and her boyfriend got a new dog about a year ago and it is the best dog ever. Its name is Ripple. I always have fun playing with him whenever my sister comes home. I can not wait until I can get my own dog.
