Media Autobiography

• Books: I love books. Reading has always been an interest of mine and over the year my taste in books has changed but the preferred format has always been the same. I like raw paper books that I can hold and turn the pages while laying in bed. There's something genuine about holding the book itself and something poetic about the smells of the pages. I'm not weird, I just pay attention to these things. My senses are heightened as I try to imagine what is happening in the novel I'm reading and it just makes reading good to me. It's peaceful. Engulfing myself in reading makes me pay attention to the details so I don't just read a book once, I read it over and over again.
• Newspapers: I read the newspaper more when I was younger but the subscription proved to be a disadvantage so I usually read the headlines from Yahoo. I noticed that the front section was the most interesting and then there are sub-sections that go into more detail about certain topics but those who do enjoy the newspaper read the top section first. That was me, but of course I liked the crossword puzzles and the comics as well. In fact the comic section was what first caught my attention in the newspaper since at 5 years of age it was all I really understood when my grandfather handed it to me.
• Magazines: Magazines are an interesting thing for me, there is so many genres of magazines that it amazes me when I'm in the grocery store taking in all the competitors screaming for my attention. When I was in high school, Seventeen magazine was what struck me the most. I wasn't much of a girly girl but I liked what other girls had to say even though the kissing as well as dating advice was terrible. That magazine taught me beauty tricks and offered light information on healthy eating and health. But my favorite part of the magazine was the awkward moments shared at the end because I was young and it was nice to know I'm not the only one who endured those.
• Movies: Movies are my thing. I have seen tons of movies and stream them online because I love watching so many different types of movies, my favorite being gory bloody action flicks. Classic horror is right behind it but I have masculine taste in films. I thought I was obsessed until I took Intro to Film and realized there are so many different movies I have never and will never see. Foreign and Experimental films are the worst thing ever.
• Music: Music is inspiring when it comes to having a creative mind. I love all genres of music to some sort of degree and appreciate it to the fullest. The best thing about music is how one can listen to it whilst doing other things like homework or walking. 
• Radio: Like most people in my generation, I listen to the radio most when driving somewhere but I enjoy the information that NPR offers every now and then. My family raised me old school and that's what we listen to when driving anywhere together. I enjoy the radio to a degree, the biggest hassle is the signal change when on the road.
• Television has made quite a decline in my life since my younger days. I used to plop in front of the TV and be hypnotized for hours but now everything is available via internet. Recently I decided to major in Broadcasting Journalism and have revisited my love for Television and the news but more than anything I want to take part in Production Management or Operation Management. I will figure this out while attending San Francisco State University this fall.
• Internet: The internet is my biggest friend as of late. I can stream movies as well as Television with one click of a button and tend to spend hours completing homework as well as distracting myself with social networks and music. I think I'm addicted.
