When I started using Twitter for our Writing 39C course, I thought it is unnecessary. However, I found out social media could have much practical information with the graduate adjustment with it. Especially when I follow one account, Twitter will automatically push some related accounts to my screen so that I won't have to type in their names. Also, in addition to academic views, social media allows me to take people with different backgrounds' Â voices into consideration. Therefore, I will obtain a better understanding of the issue and a well-rounded perspective.
