Media Autobiography

I am completely accustomed to being surrounded by media literally all the time and whether I realize it at times or not, it's there. My relationship with mass media stems from many of the things I do on a daily basis such as:

• Listening to the radio
• often occurs driving to and from places, hours within my day
• I like the music, I dislike the commercials promoting products by practically shoving them down my throat
• I dislike that I don't a choice as to what song I'd like to listen to
• Watching TV
• After a long day of work or school, watching television is what I do to relax, this is something I've done since I was little
• Usually use a DVR so that I can fast forward the commercials (I dislike them as previously stated)
• I sometimes watch the news, or satiric things that make me laugh like The Colbert Report
• Reading Books
• As a little girl I loved to read and escape into different places, go on adventures through reading
• I still read, though not as much as I'd like to, but it will always be something I love to do
• Reading Magazines
• I'm subscribed to a few magazines so it's nice to have something to read when it comes
• I read magazine that are all quite different from one another, one dealing with fashion and another with politics
• How often I read magazines depends on how often I get them in the mail
• Movies
• Another way I use to escape real life to go on an adventure or something or other
• I love all various genres of movies
• Reading the Newspaper
• I used to be subscribed to the SF Chronicle through my kindle, but have not read it in a long time
• It seems that access to my iPhone and having apps like NY Times and CNN, that are constantly  sending me updates to ongoings throughout the world periodically during the day, has led to my decreased use of reading the newspaper
• Using the Internet
• Out of everything listed this has to be the one I use the most
• Again, having an iPhone makes it so easy, I have access to internet anytime and anywhere
• When I was younger, I would use the internet for things like games and then during my preteens I'd use it for social media and now as I'm older I feel like I'm at a point where I'm not sure how I'd function if I could no longer use it
• I rely on it to help me finish HW, to help me google something I don't understand, I use it to access books and even to watch shows and movies, I really use it too much

My major is Communications which I would like to use towards marketing (surprising as I dislike commercials, I know) possibly promoting companies to media is quite relevant to my college experience. I'm transferring to SJSU in the Fall and will continue to work towards getting an internship in marketing.
