A smart meme is hard to find

This is not one. Man, memes are difficult to execute successfully. What a wonderous culltural phenomenon. Luckily imgflip.com is quicker than photoshop!

Q: Write a blog post about the work you did this week. How does what you’ve created so far relate to the vision board you made last week?

I will be completely honest in saying I really struggled to grasp the straws of what was necessary to work on our blog. There is so much freedom in the assignment that I feel like a fish out of water, flailing to identify what is good and necessary to fulfill what required of me. I definitely visited the semantics of WordPress because it is also something completely new to me and left me baffled and confused. I wish I also had more technical support on how to navigate and best organize the blog.I’m behind because I haven’t been able to decide the theme of the blog. I know what I will have the easiest time producing content about is kpop because that is a huge hobby of mine. However I don’t know how profound that content will be, and honestly I feel somewhat embarrassed at the thought of peer reviewing something that’s so personal to my interests. It feels sort of… silly.

I basically have two branches. I stick to a kpop group stan blog, sprinkled with Korean cultural commentary. Or I drop kpop all together and focus of social critique of online spaces and the kpop industry, none of my own interests in kpop reflected in the blog. What a dilemma.

Q: Reflect and comment on your stranger encounter. How did it differ from your online interactions?

I find that my stranger encounter was a bit plain. I ended up going the most obvious route and speaking to someone in an elevator. To be completely honest I am painfully aware of how I am different online and in person. With my fair share of social anxiety, I often pull out all the stops to make the best first impression in every physical interaction I feel reflects on me as a person. I dare say I have made a formula of things that seem like “green flags” to strangers and act accordingly. I also am not much different online. Despite the anonymity of a faceless space I am no less of a people pleaser. But at least there, I have the freedom to leave.

An elevator traps you in bare minutes, caged by all the social norms one could ever name. It was awkward towards the end, and I spent a good 5 minutes overthinking it.
