 I’m aware that my name is my brand and I need to cultivate it carefully.

This was a question that was asked to over 727 students by Freitas in her survey for The Happiness Effect. Seventy-nine percent of them answered yes.

Many students mention that their name is their brand, and are constantly reminded that professors and future employers are out there looking at them on social media. Naturally, these young people feel an immense pressure to craft, curate and cultivate a particular online image of themselves.

In Freitas’ survey, she asks students if they feel they need to be curators of a particular image. Gain, another seventy percent answered yes, and another sixteen percent answered yes to a degree.

Students believe that you need to be incredibly careful about what you post. They believe you should only post happy, positive photos. Should someone post something ‘less than happy’ or boycott social media entirely, these students believe it will set off alarms. Even more unimaginable to these students is the fear that it will not set off alarms, and conclude that they really are invisible.

“Like yesterday wasn’t such a good day at all, but my peer mentor helped. So [my post] goes, ‘Thank goodness for peer mentors,’ and then everyone took it as something very positive and happy…So it was just, have the happy moments so that people flourish and think, ‘Oh yes, she’s happy now. Okay, so we won’t have to say anything else.’”
