Introduction
I have googled myself a couple of times before, only in middle school. I remember being pretty underwhelmed with what showed up, I guess I had higher expectations for my 12 year old self. The only things that showed up were some pictures from my moms facebook, some race stats from the neighborhood 5k, and a picture from my elementary school soccer team. I remember thinking, this is not me at all, nothing cool or interesting shows up. Nothing that really shows who I am or what I'm actually like. I stopped after that because I was embarrassed of what might show up and I would rather just not know. I've never posted anything really bad online so I don't know why I was so worried about what might show up. I'm not very private online so I definitely thought that there would be more of my posts and such that would show up when my name was googled. I expected my twitter, instagram, and some old races from when I was in elementary school that I remember showing up when I googled myself before.
Google Search
When I googled myself, a lot of the things that I expected to show up did show up, but there were also a few things that I forgot about or didn't even realize was online. The first thing that pops up is my LinkedIn. This is interesting because it is something I had to make and then didn't really edit much after that. It does make me realize that it is probably something I should look back at and edit. The second thing that pops up is my instagram, it was public for a little so that makes sense. The third thing that pops up is my Women's Lacrosse recruiting profile that I didn't even know I had because I was honestly never that good at lacrosse. The fourth link is my Hackerrank profile which surprised me a little bit just because I expected more things to show up first like my twitter or facebook.
Conclusion
Not much has changed since I first googled myself in middle school though my online presence has matured. Instead of old 5k stats, my LinkedIn shows up. The old things about me from when I was younger are pushed out by the new profiles and activities. In general, not as much shows up about me as I thought, I guess if I were to dig harder I would be able to find out more (like my address and phone number) but those don't really give that much information about me as a person. But then again, I don't know why there would be that much about me on the internet.
