Chronicles of Carson

     This weeks reading was over Chapter 2: Developing Your Personal Brand. Through this reading we went over the basics of developing your own brand across multiple platforms and the ins and outs of what to do as well as things to avoid.       To start, we had four different headers throughout the chapter as follows: Developing Your Personal Brand, Audit Your Personal Brand Online, Building Your Personal Brand Online and Social Media Etiquette. In the first section, Developing Your Personal Brand, we identified a nine-step process to successfully develop your brand.  For todays blog, in an effort to not take up an hour of your time, I wanted to focus on the nine-step process discussed in the first section as I felt this was the most important step to properly starting a personal brand.      Step 1: Identify Your Target Audience discussed the importance of understanding who it is you want to reach.

It was great to finally get back to my favorite breakfast diner as it used to be a regular weekend spot prior to COVID hitting. We used to go to

So, this being my first blog, I felt it appropriate to do a quick recap of the first week of class and the last few weeks of my final winter break as a college student. To start, I spent this winter break very relaxed for the first time in a long while. Typically I have some kind of family vacation or big party for New Years Eve that I usually attend. Even during the times of Covid's height, I was not the most safe and had partied for New Years Eve in 2020. This year, in lieu of doing any unnecessarily risky partying this year, we decided to spend this year with our family and a small group of close friends. I spent Christmas with my mom's side of the family and New Years with just my family, my girlfriend and one of our closest family friends. It was honestly a nice change of pace, to truly sit back and enjoy those around me, people who care about each other, rather than partying with a large group of people because that is what others do. Following New Years I kept to that si
