News, Facebook, and twitter


Media is probably the most relied on source for news in todays world. When I was younger Facebook was the number one social site used. Facebook originally started off for college and young adults but younger people as in early teens took over the site. 

Facebook became a common social website for many teens during this time. As time went on other social networks started becoming more popular, leaving Facebook to the older users.

 Instagram and twitter became the next big things. Present day Facebook seems to be making a turn around because of its new features added. News is becoming shorter and shorter. News is taking the challenge to appeal to as many audiences as it can. Social media is where majority audiences spend their time. Creating shorter news allows everyone to receive the news as fast and efficiently as possible without being near a TV. 

Twitter is known to be successful in making shorter posts and getting out enough about the story. Social media is the new successful way to get news out and it does keep the integrity of journalism. The only thing that could cause confusion or disagreement is the fact that everything you read on the internet isn’t true. 

The national news is more accurate than any other source but most news stations have a social site that they belong to. This helps  everyone on the site get the news in a faster way.

On this very day I am.

A few days ago I felt so uncertain. I felt overwhelmed that my life may not actually turn out the way I desire it to. The next day I tried to keep myself busy in order to delay the thoughts of negativity. Then yesterday, I felt like things were actually getting better and although my busy schedule didn't change I don't feel as sad and unsure. Today, well today was the best day. It was full of laughs and certainty. This is hard. This roller coaster ride is not something I want to be on forever. My life motto is everything happens for a reason. Everything won't be peachy but I know it will have a reason behind it. If I could grab hold of those negative things and see them in new light then maybe my roller coaster rides wouldn't be so horrendous. Most of the time I make it through those terrible days by leaning closely to my family. I am the oldest of three girls. Their ages are fifteen, six, and four. They are my life and sometimes mistaken as my own, given, growing
