Social Media Kindness Day 2024 encourages students to use their online presence to spread positivity, empathy, and support, reminding us all to create a more uplifting and respectful digital world.
⭐ How can you embrace social media as part of your university experience? ⭐
Taylor – Embracing social media during your university experience is a great way to make friends and find your people! Whether you’re joining university Facebook groups, following student societies on Instagram, or connecting with classmates on TikTok, social media helps you tap into the campus vibe and meet like-minded people. It’s an easy way to stay in the loop about events, study groups, or impromptu meet-ups, and you can instantly bond over shared interests. Plus, if you’re a bit shy in person, messaging someone online can be a great icebreaker! Social media makes it simple to explore all the communities your university has to offer and find your tribe.
Madeleine – Social media is a great way to meet like-minded people. It could be a live study session to get focused on your goals for the week, or a group call to discuss a project, social media allows connection and collaboration. It’s important to be balanced in your university approach, as it is with social media- it can be a great way of keeping up with friends old and new while at university as well as connecting with study partners. Being kind goes a long way, maybe that fresher you met at an event last week is nervous to message first but would love a new friend! Or maybe one of your school friends is in need of cheering up and some words of support would go a long way. Whatever you use social media for, being kind can be so important, after all, you never know what’s going on in someone else’s mind.
