6 Ways To Get Your Name Out There
Mikey Vargas

Every day, I wake up thinking about how to get my name out there and network enough to get my entire career jump started. I figured I'd share with everyone some ways that I try to get my name out there on a daily basis and some tips on how to get more likes and follows as well, that I've learned.

1. Instagram

Instagram is definitely a great way to get your name out there, especially as a fashion major. Definitely a great way to show my personal style and gain a following where I get to showcase me as a person, Instagram is also my main subject of this article!

2. #Hashtags!

Hashtagging definitely helps get you noticed by people who don't follow you at all. I use any hashtag that relates to my outfit and just me as a person. This screen shot is actually of some of the hashtags I used on the photo I got the most likes on. They're definitely helpful.

3. Filters

One thing I've learned is that your filters should be consistent--like my go-to filter is Juno at about 55 percent. It helps to keep your feed somewhat consistent and visually appealing.

4. Keep a theme

Having a specific feed is a good way to gain followers. Instagram is super visual, as you all know, and a lot of the time, followers like to see a well-kept feed that has some sort of theme. You can kinda see what my theme is. I honestly just figured it out, and it's definitely something easy to screw up, but it's not too difficult to keep up with.

5. Plan Your Posts

Planning your posts definitely makes it easier to post consistently. There's also a science to the times you post, which you may or may not have known. Having the posts ready makes it 20 times easier to post at a specific time of day to get the most out of your photo. This definitely helps with gaining a following. I've learned this from experience, as I lost a number of followers because I didn't post something new for like five days.

6.Odyssey and Other Similar websites

Odyssey definitely helps get your name out there, especially to other students in your school who may read Odyssey. It's kinda difficult picking a topic to write about every week. I always wanna write about so many different things; I just never think they're good enough. I haven't done so bad so far, though, right?

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
