Classmate Comparison

Reading my classmates' responses to who they follow on Twitter, I can develop a common pattern to each own's madness.  Seems like everyone begins with following friends and then expands their following network to their interests.  People follow celebrities, news, popular figures, and brands that they feel a connection to.  Kyle Stiefel follows musical artists, venues, and ticketing companies so that he can gain access to pre-sale information for tickets and concert news.  BlizzardDevil follows in her blog, numerous local and global news stations and networks and also follows celebrity accounts such as The Real Housewives of New Jersey.  Emma Diehl in her beautiful blog, follows celebrities such as Kim Kardashian, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, political campaigns, and local news from her hometown.  Everyone uses Twitter in a personalized way, but we all love and enjoy Twitter.  

What's everyone lookin' at (Twitter)?

I use my Twitter account to follow not only my friends and classmates, but also news feeds, celebrities, public figures, charities, fashion and style (blogs, brands, icons, companies), and music artists and blogs.  Some Twitter accounts I specifically follow include: American Express, Paris Hilton, Lehigh Athletics, classmates, Avicii, Romney, Obama, Bill Clinton.  Twitter is a very versatile social media tool and it enables news to reach a large audience almost instantaneously.  I use my Twitter to become updated in the most current events whether political or popular culture.  Furthermore, I believe that I utilize my Twitter account most successfully in keeping in touch with friends and family.  Ultimately, I use Twitter, both my public and private accounts, to inspire my followers (the masses) with statuses that are meaningful  or poignant to me.     

A Brief Beauty Blog Post...

Trend Watch: look out for shades of burgundy, black, and taupe along with metallics for fall's newest nail colors to be flaunted this season.  SEE: Chanel's color "Vamp", Essie, OPI, and Zoya for inspiration!

My favorite nail trend of the summer: neons and accent nails, don these beauty musts while they still are au courant...

Alice in Wonderland....simply wonderful

Art (music) is the language of the people

I just read Kyle's blog on music and I think his thoughts about music being this universal language is so important.  All forms of art have this worldwide appreciation and understanding.  Going to concerts and other festivals, people of diverse backgrounds join together for one common love.  What's the moral of the story here: art is the universal language of the people.  Generations connect over songs from the past or peers come together over more provocative modern music such as EDM, Dubstep, and Trap - all art forms allow us to connect on an intimate and general level.  Whether I am listening to Seal, Bruce Springstein, Avicii, or Jay-Z - even classical, you connect or are transported to a certain time and place with a diverse group of people, now that is magical.

Zoellner and LUAG....take a peek please! (art nerd)

I am biased being that I am an Art History Major, but I have to say these past 2 weeks I have been so thoroughly impressed by Lehigh's art collection.  At your fingertips in Zoellner there are Sisley, Warhol, Vuillard, Signac, and many other incredible artists.  There are changing exhibits in the top floor as well.  Recently, I have been up on the mountain visting the private collection in its entirety - WE HAVE EVERYTHING! Seeing Daubigny and other 19th century masters up close is unbelievable!  Our department has very few majors and we need more students to take an interest and get involved.  Please inquire about taking art history courses as fun electives, go look at the galleries or see if you can have special entrance up at Building J!! We are so fortunate to have these pieces; however, they are basically unknown on campus...so take a look in your spare time - I promise you won't be disappointed!  And if your lucky...like my fellow 7 classmates you can even go to our President's house to see a Picasso, Prendergast, and Glackens piece... let's hope I am not too intimidated!

--> above Alfred Sisley's Pont Moret.....we have the exact same painting from a different view downstairs at Zoellner across from RBC, ask for Ricardo Viera there or speak to Nick Sawicki in CU!

Buddha is even relevant in social media!
