As a little introduction to myself, I&#8217;m currently a second year student at Bournemouth University studying Communications and Media. I originate from Maidenhead, Berkshire, and decided to make the move to the coast to start life at university. Since joining university, I have been a member of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/buaubparts\/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Performing Arts Society<\/a>, taking part in numerous performances. I have also written a <a href=\"https:\/\/nervemedia.org.uk\/author\/andrewdavies\/\" target=\"_blank\">number of articles<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/nervemedia.org.uk\" target=\"_blank\">Nerve Media<\/a>, the university&#8217;s online magazine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The focus of this blog will be on the way that social media pressures users to live the &#8216;perfect life&#8217;. Social media is such an integral part of today&#8217;s society, especially with the younger generations. Millions of people are sending snapchats, tweeting and uploading Instagrams everyday, and through this blog I will be trying to make sense of the pressure that this puts on different aspects of our daily lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Please feel welcome to leave comments of content you want me to write about, or to discuss any points I raise in my posts.
