#10 Listening Posts (Campus or Community)

A listening post in my opinion is where u sit or gather somewhere to inquire information about what's popular on social media, news, major life events, and gossip. On a typical week at SAU, my listening post you will find me and my friends at the cafe talking about our grades for classes, gossip, or how we are ready for the week to be over so we can go home.Whether we are walking the farm road late at night to clear our heads discussing what assignments are due tomorrow, or to going to each other rooms chatting about boy problems and to debating religion down to the core.

Also, most of my listening posts stem from social media because I'm basically on my phone or laptop like all the time. Most of the social media I use for listening is Twitter, Snapchat, or Instagram. My listening post majorly come from Twitter which I'm basically tuning into throughout each and every day . Usually, updating my twitter account to fangirl over the latest Kpop group song or music video. At other times, I'm at practice with my teammates discussing whether we going to the game or what disastrous workout we have today. Furthermore, I'm back at home in my small hometown talking to family about college. No matter where you are or who you are with, there are listening posts to be discovered around you.
