5 Tips To Up Your Social Media Game
Jakob Owens

Everyone wants to get better engagement on their social media channels, but not everyone is sure how to do that. Well, don't worry. I've got a few simple tricks up my sleeve that I'm sharing with you to make sure you get better engagement on your posts. Keep reading to find out some awesome social media strategies to spice up your feed.


1. Be active on social media

If you want people to start interacting with you, you've got to roll up your sleeve and engage with your audience. Share comments, likes, and personal message to spread some social love. DOn't expect friendly people to follow you if you aren't delivering a personal touch.


2. Plan out your content

If you want that beautiful feed that seems to flow perfectly together, you've got to plan it out. No blogger or fashion star posts random photos every day. They all have schedules and content plans for what they're going to do tomorrow, next week, and probably even next year.


3. Monitor your audience

What are they talking about? What are they currently vibing with? You have to pay attention to the needs and wants your audience has if you want to deliver relatable content. Monitor their behavior and adjust your social media strategy accordingly.


4. Get inspired by others

Take note of the accounts that speak to you. What are these people doing well that you can take, reform, and add to your plan? Don't be a copycat! But, take a look and steal some ideas that you can reshape to be your own and that will work for your specific brand.


5. Stay true to yourself

Faking it till you make it might not be the best idea. People on social media love original, real, raw content. They are starting to get tired of the cookie-cutter look and are craving authenticity. You just have to be yourself and they'll come, just maybe not on your timing.


I hope these five tips for your social media strategy will help you create beautiful, engaging content. As always, social media is ever-changing, so the most important thing you can do is stay up to date on the latest trends and research.

Dear High School Friend Group,

My sweet angels, where would I be without you guys. We all grew up together because we either met in middle school or high school and watched each other grow up and get "old." We got to go to prom together and then graduate together. Then watched each other as we continued our lives in college, joining sororities and meeting people who will impact our lives forever. It all has happened so fast.

Oh college, we can’t live with you, but we can’t live without you. It’s a love/hate relationship, really. College is an experience that no one can ever prepare you for, and maybe that’s a good thing. You never really expect any of the things that college encompasses until you are there. College is fun, but don’t have too much fun. C’s get degrees, but they don’t get you into graduate school.

Blair Waldorf

The "Gossip Girl" series may be over, but Blair Waldorf's iconic character lives in our hearts forever. Blair was the queen of the Upper East Side, and a character you either loved or hated. She taught us everything we needed to know about life, love and of course, how to score a Chuck Bass. So the next time you feel a bit lost and are in need of guidance, look no further than to the Queen B herself.

As I spend my Sunday avoiding my homework and other adult responsibilities, I realized that I've watched this series over and over about a million times. Sadly, there isn't a Blair quote I don't know, so I came up with a list of a few favorites. You know you love her...xoxo

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.
