reading news, keeping up with friends, and consuming content across a couple different
platforms (we all have our favorites).

snapping selfies of myself with classic dog ears_, although I do this more than 
I’d like to admit_. Snapchat a platform where stories come to life in a near-constantly
inventive way. It’s a fascinating platform that’s always keeping us on our toes.

or even where to begin. And for us Philadelphians who  So to not leave you hanging,
