Be mindful that you are creating a history via your Social Media sites. Thus, create a positive existence that future colleges or companies would be proud of reading about you.

Never use individual photos or videos of others online without their express person. 5. Inappropriate Use Violations.

Consider that employers and colleges use social media as well to determine your readiness to enter their college or join their workforce. 7.
