Blog Post- 10/7

This week in class on Tuesday we met in the iSpace in the Science and Engineering Library and went over everyones Unit 1 projects.  It was very informal and every group talked about their topic, it was interesting to learn about what other groups ideas were for their topic and to learn more about topics that were run by social media.  Thursday in class we had a speaker talk about her thesis that she is writing for her major.  Her topic is about pro-ana, her main focus is about Tumblr and the page where people who are battling anorexia and bulimia can go.  On Tumblr, there is a hashtag that is pro-ana, when you search this hashtag you are asked if you are okay, you are then able to continue onto the sight that is for people that have battled anorexia or are in the midst of this problem.

The speaker talked about how this Tumblr hashtag is a way for people who have the similar problem to have a place of support and are able to express their feelings about what they are going through at the time.
