Who am I?

My name is Sammy Michie and I am a sophomore at the University of Tampa. I study Fine Arts with a focus in Digital Arts and I study Communications with a focus in Advertisement. I am originally from Isle of Palms, South Carolina, but have been in the Tampa area for roughly four years now. Right now I am a server at Hattrick's sports bar in the heart of Downtown Tampa, and that is what consumes my life, besides school of course. I want to work in the fashion industry when I am older as an Art Director for a fashion magazine. It is my dream to pursue a career with Vogue magazine or Victoria’s Secret. Right now I design my own clothing and have my own brand called "Eyes on You". I am also a painter and enjoy producing works that focus on the ocean and its marine life.


My first impressions of this class were that I was going to enjoy it, but it was not going to be an easy class. I have never made a blog before so this is completely new to me, and I am already struggle with figuring out the technology behind it. I have never been a tech savvy person, and do not post on social media as much as the average college student. That is exactly why I am in this class though. I hope to gain knowledge on advertising through social media, and to better understand how social media works for our society as a whole.
