This social media assignment was nerve racking and definitely one of the most challenging assignments I\u2019ve had so far. I am one of the few people who does not fall into the statistic of college students who spend between two and ten hours on social media platforms each day, honestly when I read that number, I was shocked. I do not have any social media, and honestly if I had it my way I would go back to my old school flip phone. I am a self-described luddite, as such I am not a big fan of newer technology which includes social media, however I was not always this way. In my teenage years into my early 20\u2019s you couldn\u2019t catch me not on the \u2018popular\u201d social media apps, Facebook, snapchat, and twitter are just a few of the social media apps\u00a0\u00a0I would use daily. When I did have social media a large portion of my content was sports related, with most of my sports comment revolving around the Chicago Bears. Prior to this past season the bears have a reputation of inconsistent performance and letting down their fanbase, this was the main focus of many of my social media posts. Since I no longer have or participate in social media, I decided to use similar posts that I would use if I had social media to create my persona which Is, heartbroken but hopeful Bears fan. Before this past season anytime someone would ask me who my team was, I would say something along the lines of \u201csadly the bears\u201d, they were a horrible infuriating hot mess, but they were MY hot mess and no matter what the score board or the commentators said I was in it for the long-haul. I chose posts that convey life as a Bear\u2019s fan, miserable, scorned, somehow still hopeful and of course with the humor we use to get through each season.\u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s a hard life being a Bear\u2019s fan, but I wouldn\u2019t have it any other way. I\u2019ll end this post with the wise words a Bears fan told me after we lost super bowl 41 \u201cStop crying kid, if you\u2019re going to be dumb you gotta be tough\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
