Ethos and Instagram
The two instagram accounts I compare is Miley Cyrus' and Liza Koshy. Their instagram accounts both focus on the image but one more than the other. Miley Cyrus is very expressive and I don't think she really cares how people see her, she has always been known to be crazy and be herself. Her posts… Continue reading Ethos and Instagram

Dear Sugar, I’m twenty-nine and dating a man that I adore; we’re planning to move in together soon. I have a stable job that I hate, but I hope that I’ll one day find something I enjoy.

When Milo did Lynch's laundry, Lynch tried to pay Milo and he replied with "one hand washes the other."… Continue reading The Undertaking

Selfie
The accurate element in most of my selfies is how my dimples are always in my pictures. I feel like that is the most noticeable thing about my pictures that I post. My eyes are also the second most common thing that grab people's eyes, because I have been told that I smile with my… Continue reading Selfie
