How did you gain your social media prowess and celebrity status?
I started tweeting just like a normal girl during the middle of freshman year. By the end of that following summer, people started telling me they thought my account was funny and my followers had grown to around 300. Over the past year and a half I’ve continued to tweet regularly and gained almost 8000 followers. The followers have come mostly through friends of friends or follows and retweets from a few influential people and accounts (ex. Awkward Girl, NYC Blonde, fatgirlproblems, Paris Hilton, Liz Gilles & Lindsay Lohan). After that, my followers grew exponentially, as is the nature of the Twitter universe.
