Social Media: What Does Your Tattoo Say?

I feel that I represent myself on social media very well.  I do not post inappropriate Facebook posts, tweets, or instagrams, but on the other hand i do not completely censor myself so that an outsider would not be able to get to know me from looking at all of the above.
When on twitter I tend to speak my mind , yet I try to make a point of not posting anything that could one day be detrimental to myself.  My tweets range from me raving on how much I love Auburn to something interesting that has just happened to me while walking down the street to something I'm craving to eat.  For Example:
"GAAMMEE DAAAYY (hump day voice)"
This shows my school pride and how excited I am to be at Auburn.
"To the two kids arguing over the reflective state of the window: I promise there are bigger things in life:"
This is just one of the many interesting things I have overheard while walking to classes everyday.
"I want great mex taco Tuesday. That is all"
This tweet expresses a craving for food from my hometown.
There is a girl wearing heels to class, with her Nike shorts. That is all.
Again this is one of the many crazy things i see walking across campus.
The sunsets here. I'm happy.
This tweet expresses my love of sunsets, which, if you know me well, is one of my favorite things in the world.

From my tweets, one can see that I love my school, love my friends, and love food. But these are only a few of the things that define me as a person. If someone were to look through my Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, one could also see that I love to have fun, yet can crack down when it comes to studies. This would be an accurate representation of me and my life. I try to keep up with social media because nowadays it is the way that my generation communicates and spreads the word about important issues. You can even get a job that has to do with keeping up on social media and keeping your business relevant on social media. I would like to believe that I censor myself enough that if i sat down for an interview and was handed a copy of all my tweets, instagrams, and facebook posts i would still get the job. I try to keep myself in the best light possible at all times, of course we all have slip ups and the bad thing about social media is that the internet is forever, but that doesn't mean that we can not try to correct those wrong doings through future posts.
