Pinterest: An App Full of Aesthetic Pictures

Pinterest is one of my favorite social media apps because there’s no pressure to create your own posts. You can if you’re feeling creative, but there’s already a plethora of pictures on the app to look at. For those of you that don’t use Pinterest, you can “pin” pictures you find interesting to “boards”. All the pictures you “pin” will be saved to your home page and to organize them, you can rename the “boards” and save pictures that you find in the future to them. The Pinterest algorithm relies on what you’ve previously pinned and shows recommendations based on what it thinks you would like to look at and what’s popular with similar users on the app. What’s nice about Pinterest is that if you find a recipe or activity you’d like to learn how to do, there’s almost always a link to the website in the post information.

As of right now, my Pinterest feed is full of collages and pretty scenery. What I like about Pinterest is that you can search up almost anything and find so many pictures/websites that pertain to the topic you searched up. I’ve attached a screenshot of my current feed below.

The picture in the bottom left corner of my screenshot shows an ad for Chamberlain coffee, which is Emma Chamberlain’s coffee brand. She is a famous Youtuber and has a very successful business. I’d say Pinterest is an underrated advertising platform. Businesses can promote ads that will show up on people’s feeds. Putting a nice picture on the post and linking to a business website can be very beneficial to finding new customers. The ads I’ve seen have been camouflaged in with the rest of my feed. It never feels like they’re taking up space or time away from my browsing. I’ve seen ads for CoverGirl, CVS and even Huntington Bank!

In conclusion, Pinterest is an underrated marketing platform that more businesses should utilize. However, it is fair to say that Pinterest appeals to a largely female audience, so there isn’t much of a market on this app for men’s clothing or razors for example. Any businesses planning to purchase ads on this social media app should keep this information in mind.

My Birthday Weekend Recap

My birthday was March 21, which was a Tuesday. The week prior was Spring break, so I decided to go to Kentucky for a weekend trip with my boyfriend! The first part of our trip was in Loretto, Kentucky. We drove about 6 hours, after waking up at 7:00 in the morning. We finally made it to our destination, where we were able to get a tour of Maker’s Mark bourbon distillery. As soon as we got there, I was in awe of how green the landscape was and how many cows and horses I saw grazing in the fields. I even saw baby lambs! Attached below is a wonderful view of the grounds. We got a full explanation of how bourbon is made. It starts with a mix of grains (corn, barley and rye). The mixture must be made up of at least 51% corn. This mixture of grains gets yeast and water added to it and then gets placed in a vat to let the yeast do its job (fermentation). Once it’s ready, it gets strained and then distilled (meaning it gets purified by heating and vaporizing). The next step varies between...

A Rundown of Accounting and My Future Career

I’m a senior accounting major and have not always liked accounting. I knew I wanted to major in something easy and that paid a lot, but didn’t do much research on what possible career paths could be from accounting or how many different opportunities were available to me as a business major. I originally thought accounting was keeping track of business transactions or doing taxes and after my first accounting class I almost changed my major. Accounting was not as easy as I expected and that discouraged me. However, I survived all four years of college and can safely say I have a better understanding of what I want to do for the rest of my life. I started off taking classes in college that taught me about software such as Quickbooks and SAP, managerial accounting (with an emphasis on manufacturing companies), financial accounting, auditing and most recently tax. My professors were very proactive in answering my questions and pushing me to get an internship to help narrow down what sec...

3 Places I Want to Visit

I love traveling. I think it’s so fun to learn about how people live in different parts of the world and even other places in the US. Today, I’ll be telling you all about 3 places I want to visit in the near future. The first place I want to visit is Salzburg, Austria. This is number one on my bucket list. My grandma, who has since passed away grew up in this beautiful city and moved to America after WW2 because she fell in love with an American soldier from Kentucky. I’d like to visit the birthplace of Mozart, the Salzburg Cathedral, check out the coffee shops/boutiques and take pictures of the beautiful mountains. The picture I’ve attached below is the Bavarian mountains surrounding Salzburg. ( https://cdn.projectexpedition.com/photos/39563touractivitycsm_berchtesgardenwatzmannlockstein_7199d73c52_sized.jpg ) A fun fact about Salzburg (from my grandma), Hitler didn’t bomb this city during WW2 because he hid his prized paintings there! The second place I would like to visit is Sa...
