On social networks, primarily Instagram, online communities have created various days of the week that feature something about yourself. Since alliterations are somewhat easier to remember, each of these certain, special days of the week or named after the first letter of Monday through Sunday.
On the widely-popular social network Instagram, users take pictures of themselves and hashtag (#) they're photo with the abbreviations or sometimes the full-spelling of these days.
Why do people do this?
Social networks are a place where various people can connect online for various reasons.
In almost all social networks, especially the biggest and most popular ones, users usually can manipulate where they're content goes to and who sees they're content. Most of the time it's friends, family, and other people they know.
It gives your close ones a chance to get to know you better and keep up to date on your interests and life.
Today, I will explain and go in-depth on all the days of Alliteration Week.
ATTENTION: THESE SPECIAL DAYS VARY FOR EVERYONE, BUT THESE ARE THE MOST COMMON AND WELL-KNOWN ONES.
