Alright, on this weeks episode of Adventures in Net Narr, we learned about the power of the selfie. This generation definitely reveres the selfie. There is a sacred process that involves the composition of a selfie and deeming its "post-ability." Step 1: Prep- think about your mood and what message you'd like to convey with this picture, because we all know, selfies are more than just a picture,theyre a reflection of you--your attitude-- what you want people to see you as. Step 2: Tryouts- You take a bunch of pictures with different poses and faces, and accumulate a satisfactory collection to choose from.
