True Facts! 10!

This semester I have a social media class as one of my journalism courses. Our first assignment, and one that will last the whole semester, is to make a twitter account, pick a "Beat," and tweet on a regular basis. For my beat I chose to do "True Facts!" and I am writing new ones almost every day. I didn't want to take the easy way out and use ones I'd already written, though I do have plenty, so I am forcing myself to be creative on a daily basis. If you have a twitter account, and want to follow me, you can find my "True facts!" account here.

I already have quite a few tweets there, so you don't have a twitter account, you can just go and read what I have now without following me.
