First Selfies?!
This camera was one of the first that actually allowed people to know when their picture was going to be taken when they stood in front to take a selfie. It was indicated by a red paper, then a white! How cool?! Just like our iPhones have self timers, so did this camera! #RUSelfieProject
Peace Out Selfie Class!
Throwing up our peace signs to say our final goodbyes to our Byrne Seminar! I took in a lot of new thoughts and now know that there’s much more to selfies than the selfie itself. This class has been an experience of a lifetime!

Computer Takeover…
I spend close to five hours each day in this exact position. I will confess, my computer has taken over my life. In the Rutgers dorms, I see many people on their computers doing their homework or on social media, whether it is at the study lounge on our floor, sitting in their desks in their room, or like me, in my bed. I resort to this location because I like to be comfortable and do my work throughout the day, mixing it up with some Twitter action, Photo Booth selfies, and even some Netflix (OOPS). Although this digitalized culture we have adapted to seems like all fun and games, I can also confess that it has not fully impacted my college life, but has threw me under the bus sometimes. I will be sitting in my bed from 4 PM on a Wednesday night, until 4 AM Thursday morning, trying to get a 5 page paper finished. If I was not so addicted to this computer of mine (social media especially), I would be more productive. I call this story the computer takeover…

SELF(ie) timer
Kodak had a great IDEA to make a self timer! When it was invented photographers were able to now take pictures of themselves. This changed photographers photos because now they were able to not just take pictures of everything around them, but of themselves! George Street Camera had a bunch of awesome cameras and gadgets that people used (before modern cameras and iPhones were invented) that people used all the time to take their selfies. #RUSelfieProject

No doubt about it – the Alexander Library on College Avenue (or any others) is a perfect spot to immerse yourself in a studious environment. Have some quiet time and be surrounded by people who will respect your concentration.
