New to Steemit

in #introduceyourself7 years ago

Hello everyone!

My name is Jilian, and I have officially become a member of the Steemit community today. I was convinced to sign up by my parents (some social media irony?) and I created an account to see what it was all about! My father has been following and invested in cryptocurrencies for quite sometime, and I have learned a lot about blockchains through him. My mother has recently gotten more involved, and has been using this forum primarily to join the photography community.

Now, for a little more about myself! I am a post-secondary student in Edmonton, Alberta, with a love for adventures and new experiences. I am always interested in trying something new, whether it be food, a novel experience, or a new book. I love the outdoors whether it is hiking, camping, and fishing in the summer, or skiing and skating in the winter. I have always considered my interests to be best related to a "jack-of-all-trades" description as they include playing and watching sports, going dancing with friends, playing video and board games, learning about psychology and neuroscience, travelling and exploring, and much more in between.

If anyone has any questions or information they'd like to pass on, perhaps a new suggestion for a book or song, feel free to comment or strike up a conversation. I am also always open to a good punny comic or animal video.

Lol hey newbie, welcome. Hope you like the steemit community. Also, your now alone. My mom tried to get me to sign up for Twitter. Too bad steemit wasn't around then.

No kidding! I deactivated my twitter long ago but with a recent DASH promotion my parents were trying to get me to reactivate that as well.

Hahaha too funny. But I get it.

You gotta beat your parents at the steemit

Haha- perhaps that will be my goal. My mother seems to have a few pretty popular posts- I might be able to surpass my dad and make him proud though!

Welcome to Steem jilianh, This really great especially if you like to post articles or stories. May you and yours live long and prosper well.

Fantastic- I am sure I will enjoy the site! To you as well.

Welcome to the platform! You will love it!

My brother is a huge Oilers fan :).

Seriously.. this place is the best. Wonderful people, and intelligent exchanges every day.

All the best!

Xx, Kay

I have a team for every sport, but man the Oilers crowd was sure amazing to be a part of this year. I look forward to a forum that actually values intelligent exchanges!

welcome to steemit Jilian! ^_^

Thank you! I will go take a look :)

Welcome to the Steemit community, @jilianh! Lets Go Oliers! Upvoted!

Lol too funny and ironic! You have some smart parents :) My parents would think a block chain is a new necklace or something. So welcome Jilian! I'm new too, lots to learn.
I'd like to ask you something, I was wondering if you would be interested in teaming up with me and others? Aside from our normal random upvoting and curating, we’re looking to particularly team up with some like minded steemians.

We can work as a team to help and build each other up simply using the tag #minnowtowhale when we post stories. We can do a search at any point and find each other quickly that way. If we build up a decent sized team, we can help one another grow buy following, commenting, upvoting and resteaming each others work. Quality over quantity style. Interested? If so all you have to do is use the tag #minnowtowhale when you post. LMK if you're game or have any questions :)

Gave ya a follow and upvote

Thanks for the welcome! I will take a look at the tag and see what I think of that kind of networking. Sounds interesting and I will definitely contact if I have any questions!

Sounds good :) no pressure, no rules. Just helping one another when ever we chose. Have a great day! Here's a bit more info 👉🏼 Team #minnowtowhale

You have very smart father :D It's your please.
