Wiki Wiki Wiki What? WikiHow

When writing a WikiHow article it is vital to choose a topic that has not already been published. Exploring a wide variety of subject areas gives you a lot of options to move forward. Another important thing to keep in mind is to choose a subject that you may already be an expert in or a hobby. Three potential topics to post on WikiHow is matcha green tea chia pudding, how to binge watch an entire television season in one day and finally how to be a true game of thrones fan.

The first possible topic is how to make matcha green tea chia pudding.  This healthy breakfast is filled with fiber, calcium and rich antioxidants. The best part is it only takes 5 minutes to make. Matcha green tea is the latest trend in healthy eating so drop your avocado toast and enjoy this raw, vegan, gluten and soy free option. This is a great quick post workout breakfast. Chia seed almond milk pudding is a staple and matcha green tea is a great added twist. The results were filling and delicious. This recipe will be popular since matcha tea is on the rise and this is the time of year when people are trying to lose weight after the holidays.

The second idea is how to binge watch an entire television season in one day. With Netflix, HBO, Showtime etc.…there is no more waiting for months for a series to end. But what if you could have the satisfaction of knowing how it ends in one day? Here are a few ways to give you that immediate satisfaction faster than you ever thought it possible (or ever thought you had the time for). Some steps to include are

•         Subscribe to Netflix, Amazon Prime, HBO GO or any other service that will allow you to have televisions series at your disposal, maybe even make the trip out to that ancient Family video down the block     
•       Find the show, there are only 24 hours in a day, so finding a show that is good and relatively short is important. Some suggestions are, Orange is The New Black, and season 1 is 12.25 hours long. Greys Anatomy, season 1 is 9 hours long, and the Office season 1-4 is 23 hours long

Finally the last possible topic is how to be a true Game of Thrones fan. Game of Thrones is a series written by George RR Martian that has become a medieval epic series on HBO. With a 6 million dollar budget per episode, this tale of power families fighting to rule the dynasty is easy to get addicted to. With its complicated plot and characters this article will help you navigate your obsession with this complex story. Some steps to include are

• Reading the books and watching the series
• Where to get Game of Thrones merchandise

When trying to find a WikiHow how topic it is important to remember to get creative and explore areas you know best. Because there are thousands of topics published, it is helpful to look at current trends such as the matcha green tea recipe or Game of Thrones. Both of these topics are extremely popular and might attract readers. Or find something you love, like binge watching T.V. Any idea that you can find at least 10 steps how to do is a good idea. 

All Grown Up: A Millennial's Perspective on Seeing The World Raw and Uncensored 

Today’s millennials have grown up with social technology and likely do not know what it is like without constant contact with their phone. As a 21 year-old junior in college, I have witnessed the progressive change from waiting to go home to my 2002 gateway computer to minute by minute contact with my friends and the rest of the world at my fingertips. Here is a short timeline…..

·
      MSN Messenger- as a 12 year old I was staying up late at night to message a boy I had never talked to in school, but spent hours giving him relationship advice on his first girlfriend.

·        
     Facebook- at 13 the sole purpose was to post pictures, maybe write some embarrassing and immature status. As Instagram became more popular I used Facebook to mostly in high school to be kept up to date with the latest relationship status.

·        
      Instagram and Snapchat when I was 15 to send or post pictures

·        
      I made a Twitter account when I was 18, which is more commonly used by college students.

As I grow older my reasons for using social media have changed drastically. From being interested in my high school peer's lives to now searching news events and celebrity breaking news, the focus is not necessarily more refined but still different. There is an obligation to use social media as a journalist or any news agency because of the shift from newspapers to online news. As a communications major, I feel responsible for knowing top news stories and to have social media accounts. I find that it is essential to put out information that is credible and correct. Social media is as intrusive as you make it. Whether or not you choose to make things private is completely up to the user. 

I see social media as a positive way to bring people from across the globe together and united. The first time I felt this unity on social media was the recent terror attacks in Paris. Unfortunately this was not the first time social media played a role in a major catastrophe. During the Virginia Tech shooting in 2007, a student at Tech created a Facebook page “I’m OK at VT.” This page allowed students to let their families know they were safe. Twitter has replaced Facebook as a go-to place for posting a status, making it a possible for news events to be spread virtually in seconds. During the time of the Paris attack I had already been on Twitter when I refreshed the feed and saw that CNN reported a bomb went off in Paris. I saw this tweet exactly 24 seconds after it was posted with #Paris trending in a matter of minutes. Warnings of the attacks on Twitter to people around the area turned into prayers as the shooters were killed and the tragedy was over. Social media untied the nation and in a matter of minutes the thought on everyone's mind was the Twitter hashtag #prayforparis.
