About me:


My name is Aleah Irvin and I am a sophomore here at Reinhardt University. I am planning to major in communications and start a career in the film industry. In my spare time, I enjoy reading, writing, being outdoors, and like most people, using my phone to connect with others via social media. Social media networks such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter not only allow me to stay connected with current friends and people who I went to high school with, but also provide me with the most up to date news stories about what is going on in the world. About two weeks ago, Robin Williams passed away and I was immediately able to see this information from one of my follower's tweets on Twitter. Although traditional media is effective in spreading information and plays a role in my life, social media has a greater impact on me. I think this is because it is so accessible. I can easily click on any of my social media apps on my phone and instantly receive information about current events. The information can be accessed while I'm on the go which is essential to me because I commute to school everyday.
