Build your personal resume
on your social platforms.
As you make your way into adulthood your social
profiles will be viewed by colleges, potential
employers, business leaders, entrepreneurs,
friends, family, etc., and they will form an opinion of you based
on that information. Carefully build your personal resume on
social media and position yourself as a great student, a valuable
employee, and a future leader. Be aware that how you act goes
beyond your page; your interactions on other people’s posts,
advertisements, and in groups can either be a credit to your
character, or a detriment.

Social media is public,
regardless of where you are
physically, and you should
always act your best in public.
Use social media moderately.
The best way to use social media in a positive way
is to use it MODERATELY. Do not revolve your life
around likes and comments. Incessantly checking your
social media absorbs a huge amount of time and it is
bad for your mental health. Work on yourself offline.
Love yourself, know your worth, move your body, eat
healthy meals, and spend time with friends and family.

Social media is a powerful tool that should be used with the
utmost care. You should build people up, not tear people down.
Organize events with your friends and in your community.
Share your ups and downs (with discretion), stay aware of current
events, and project a positive image of yourself. And, most
importantly, know when to put it down.
