Interview with Charley Peoples

For my podcast, I decided that I should interview an average college student on their social media usage. I used an article titled "How Much Time Do People Spend on Social Media?" which was written by Evan Asano. This article features a great infographic on how much time the average person spends on each social media platform a day, and also their lifetime.

I thought it would be great to interview Charley too see if his usage matched up with the information that Mr. Asano collected. This is because many people believe that a college student would spend most their time on social media, and I wanted to see if this is true or not. How much time do you spend on social media?

I have added the show notes and the podcast to this post.

Interview With Charley

Hi, I’m Mack Calhoun and you’re listening to fumbling through college. I’m here with Charley Peoples here today hows it going?

Go ahead and introduce yourself

We are going to be talking today about our social media use. Now I’ve pulled up an article written by Evan Asano which was published by Social Media Today. Evan Anso is the CEO and founder of “Mediakix” which is his marketing company. He also has been published by Fortune and Forbes.

In this article, titled, How much time do people spend on social media? He talks about exactly what you'd expect, how much time people spend on social media.

We’re going to be going through and compare what Mr.Anso says is regular use to what Charley uses

Anso says that throughout the day the average person spends approximately 2 hours on social media,

Charley how much time would you say you spend on social media every day?

Apparently, the most time spent on social media is actually on youtube, which comes to 40 minutes a day. How do you feel about this?

Coming in second is facebook with 35 minutes a day spent on that. How much time do you spend on Facebook? What do you do on Facebook?

Snapchat comes in third with 25 minutes a day of use. Does this seem accurate?

Anso says that 15 minutes is used on Instagram. what are your thoughts on this? How much time do you spend on Instagram do you think?

In my opinion, it’s most surprising that only 1 minute a day is spent on twitter.

How much time do you spend on Twitter?

Do you think you spend too much time on social media?

Anso actually says that over our lifetime, the average person will spend 5 years and 4 months on social media.

On my own for the first time

Move in day is one of the most exciting days of the year. College is the opposite of high school in that in high school, summer is the best time of the year and no one wants to go back to school, but in college, the best time of the year is when we are at school. Saturday my parents drove up to ONU with me and helped me move in. I'm actually extremely surprised we were able to fit most my stuff in my little Honda Civic. After my parents left, my roommates and I got back to doing our normal sitting around and doing nothing. When my stomach started rumbling, I was reminded that I was going to have to cook for myself for the first time in my life. We took a trip to Wal-Mart that lasted about two hours too long, but after multiple phone calls to my mom, I felt confident that I had a cart full of food that I could cook up into something good. When we got home, however, I was quickly reminded of my terrible cooking skills. I ate the saddest stir fry of my life and then did the dishes....

"Break"

This past week was Thanksgiving "break". I put break in quotations because I'm pretty sure I was more busy at home than I am here at school. Between Friday and Monday, I spend time with my friends that I haven't seen in a while, and also just hung out with my family. On Tuesday and Wednesday, I worked a combined sixteen hours. On Thanksgiving, we drove out to my cousins and had lunch/dinner with my family. Then Black Friday came. I was pleasantly surprised when I looked down at the register and realized it was already noon and I was halfway done with my shift. There were not too many people that were being rude so that was very nice. My shift was done and I decided to go to the outlet mall with my mom for a couple hours. It felt like freedom when I got off work, but I know it was going to be short-lived because I had to be back at work for another seven-hour shift the next day. And then, just like that, it was already Sunday and I was packing to go back to school. Wha...

Weekend of a Lifetime

This weekend a couple friends and I took our long awaited trip to Breakaway Festival in Columbus. This year was the second year of the festival. As we parked you could already hear the bass booming and hear the voice of performers. The first night started out with Super Duper Kyle, who put on an upbeat and happy set. By the time Travis $cott came on we got pushed all the way to the back of the crowd, but that didn't matter to us. He gave a great performance that ended with him playing the hit song "Goosebumps" three times. Oddly, it wasn't annoying that he played it more than once. If you went to his show in Cleveland over the summer, you heard him play the same song thirteen times, which set a world record. However, I was more excited for the second day. We managed to get about twenty feet from the stage when Playboi Carti started performing and didn't move until the end of the night after Diplo's set. The feeling that you have at a concert or music fe...
