VHS Tapes
I was first exposed to media when my parents would let my twin sister and I watch VHS tapes on tv. Our VHS tapes included shows such as the wiggles and bananas in pajamas. -
Books
At the age of four, I started to read books. Although this may not be the case anymore (unfortunately), I spent large amounts of my free time with my nose buried between paperback novels all the way up until middleschool, when I was introduced into the soul sucking device known as the computer. -
Music
Music has always been a large part of my life. From listening to rock classics such as ACDC and Queen as a result of my Dad's love for them, or to more avant garde R&B singers that I've found on my own after digging around a bit. Music is a cornerstone of my life, and is also how I connect with God. Spiritually, I find that music is how I can communicate with God, and whenever I'm feeling down, it's a no brainer for me to start playing my Christian playlist to boost my mood. -
The world of pokemon
My formative elementary years were strongly influenced by Pokemon. My interest in collecting all kinds of Pokemon kindled my interest in animals, and I definitely see the connection between my love for animals and Pokemon. The Pokemon trading card game also allowed me to make new friends, and the trading aspect of the card game during recess definitely improved my social skills. -
Books cont.
Reading many different kinds of books, both fiction and nonfiction presented me with many different types of worldviews. Such as the naturalistic or humanist world view from the dan brown books I'd read. -
Social Media
It wasn't until highschool where I started to really use social media. Sure, I used facebook in middleschool, but it was to play the free games and not for it's "social" aspect. With a multitude of apps at my disposal to keep in touch with my friends, I am (slightly) embarrassed to say that I probably spend at least two to three hours on social media everyday. -
TV Shows
After receiving my own laptop, I started to watch tv shows more often. Because I was no longer limited to the schedule of TV networks, I could watch whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted. It was at this point where I kind of became a "glutton" and tried to absorb as much media as I could. TV shows I enjoy watching include Black Mirror, Hannibal, and Rick and Moty
