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?

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
