Oh Snap!
This summer officially marked five years since my graduation from Lehigh University back in 2012, and while that may not seem like a long time, I鈥檓 already finding it increasingly difficult to remain relevant. Let me explain. A few weeks ago, I had to research the word 鈥渦nicorn鈥 to make sure I was using it properly. Last weekend, while reading about a celebrity that had blocked her followers from using the snake emoji in their comments on her social media account, I learned that 1) you can block your followers from using certain emojis in their comments on your social media account and 2) that commenting 鈥淟B鈥 is a means of requesting that a user 鈥渓ikes鈥 a post of yours in exchange for you 鈥渓iking鈥 a post of theirs. And there's plenty more where that came from.
Despite the strong evidence suggesting otherwise, I like to think I鈥檓 mostly in tune with what college students think is cool. And based on my sample size of about 5 (which includes our intern , as well as my best friend鈥檚 little sister, and a recent college graduate who follows a handful of undergrads on social media), I鈥檝e come to the conclusion that college students think Snapchat is cool. With that in mind, I鈥檓 super excited to announce that AIChE ChEnected is now officially on Snapchat!
