Social Media Spotlight: Instagram


RRSMS Instagram


1. What do you think is the best thing about running Instagram?
Keleigh: My favorite part running the Instagram is getting to post content and share content that other authors, writers and creators can relate to.

Sarah: The best part about co-running the RRSMS Instagram account is making friends and connections with authors, bands, and avid readers. RRSMS is a community before an organization.  We value the sense of family. 

2. Do you have any favorite or special interactions with follower(s)?
Keleigh: I love when people comment on a picture that I posted and say things like "That is so true!" or "I love this!".
Sarah: My favorite part about connecting with followers is when someone "fangirls" over commonly read books with me.  We become more than the Instagram handles we post by. 

3. What do you think is the biggest challenge in running Instagram? 
Keleigh: Having to block all the spam accounts that advertise Cam girls or promise to get you more followers. 
Sarah: The biggest challenge is definitely gaining and keeping followers, especially followers who are actively liking the content we post.  Though we are mainly followed because we give off a sense of community, climbing follower numbers quickly is a challenge in itself.

 4. One goal for the future? 
Keleigh: My goal for the future of the RRSMS Instagram is to inspire as many people as possible to follow their dreams and never give up on their arts.
Sarah: I want to be more involved in writing content for the anthologies.   As summer approaches and the current semester in college closes, I'll be able to write more frequently. 

 5. Do you have a message for your followers/future followers? 
Keleigh: I appreciate all of you. The other social media admins appreciate all of  you. RRSMS as a whole appreciates all of you. You are all amazing and beautiful. Never forget that.
Sarah: To all followers, past, present, and future:  I am always around to talk and support you.  In fact, every member of RRSMS is here for you through thick and thin.  When you "like" or "follow" one of our accounts, you become part of our family.  Please don't hesitate to contact us for open ears, advice, or support. 

 6. Anything you’d like to add? 
Keleigh: I love my job at RRSMS. It has changed my life so much and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Sarah: Part of the reason why I love this group stems from the good our group of admins, writers, bands, and readers have accomplished.  RRSMS is completely non-profit, so we do this because we want to make a difference and have a sense of community with others.  I love the selflessness that comes from being associated with RRSMS.

Drug Use in High School and College

Image
Drug use and experimentation tend to proliferate on college campuses. For those who can afford this experience, campuses are often a sanctuary for drug use. In high school, drinking alcohol was my only experience with substance use. Right before college, I was required to partake in an online program about alcohol – one that demonstrated how to minimize harms associated with drinking, such as not drinking if you are planning on driving, staying well hydrated, eating before you drink, knowing how many alcoholic beverages you’ve had, or spacing out the drinks you are already consuming. These strategies help to keep people safe and prevent deaths, and are referred to as harm reduction. In my freshman year, I found myself in a position where drugs of all kinds were almost literally falling into my lap. How did this happen? I was encountering drugs I had never even heard of left and right, and with the emergence of online drug markets, it could be as easy as shopping on Amazon. I

National Aunt and Uncle Day

Image
National Aunt and Uncle’s Day on July 26th honors a special set of relatives we look up to throughout our lives. During holidays, family events and sometimes sleepovers, aunts and uncles often hold an extraordinary place in our hearts. They fill our lives with fun, laughter, love and incredible memories.   This holiday provides an opportunity to spend time with our parents’ siblings we trusted and leaned on growing up.  It would be an excellent time to get out the old photo albums. Look through the pictures, and relive the memories of earlier days around the Christmas tree or at the 4th of July picnic or maybe at the beach vacation that included those special aunts and uncles in your life. Get together with your relatives and create new memories. Remind them of all the reasons you enjoy having them in your life. Celebrate the lessons they’ve taught you and share them with the next generation.  Another way to celebrate the day is by documenting family memories and history.
