How am I framed? Who does the internet think I am?

The internet probably thinks i'm a young spoiled punk who has lots of friends, an utterly expensive wardrobe, and likes music and football. With being an ambassador for the university, I have to have social media networks to interact with prospective students. In addition to these accounts I have my personal accounts as well. On my ambassador accounts its filled with high schooler's, so I dont have much information to relay there. On my personal accounts, I have a vast majority of followers. Most to all people on these networks I know on a friendly basis or are friends of friends.  But there are still some people that I just don't know. On Instagram I am open to let anyone follow me and with a simple hashtag you can get thousands to come across your account by just a simple key term.

I think its kind of scary that people can know where i'm at and who i'm with just by looking at my photos. So this past week, I logged out of all my personal accounts and don't plan on logging back in. Social media has gotten out of hand for me. Im better off without it.

Lastly, I think its pretty creepy that when I look for sneakers on Ebay, it will come up to the left of my Facebook feed saying "Still looking for those Yeezy Boost 350" followed by a picture. Its scary to know that everything you put on the internet is embedded and is there forever!
