Today marks the fifth day of analysing my media consumption.

I didn’t use much media today compared to the other days because I was so busy.

I woke up bright and early at 8am. Sent my snapchat streaks (a bit earlier than usual hahaha) My boyfriend and his family picked me up at 8:30 am to take me to see his first footy game of the season. After this I was dropped off home and went straight to work until 5:30pm.

When I got home from work, I got ready for an 18th house party I had later that night. I ate my dinner while watching Gilmore girls clips on Youtube. Then as I showered, did my hair and makeup I listened to my Soundcloud playlist on my speaker. My boyfriend then came to my house and we ubered to the party together. But before we ubered we checked the party’s address on the Facebook event the birthday girl had created and we had been invited to.

When I got to the party I was surrounded with media. There were photographers taking pictures of everyone and there was also a DJ playing the bangers 😛 The hostesses family were also filming majority of the event on video recording cameras. Whereas the rest of the guests were taking Snapchats on their phones, myself included. I took a photo of the birthday girl with her cake and added this to my Snapchat story. As the party began to die down, my boyfriend was starting to get sick and tired, I wanted to get home to bed because I needed to sleep. So we left the party and ubered to my house and then my boyfriend went to his house.

As I got ready for bed I went on iTunes and into the iTunes store to listen to the new songs that were on the top chart. Then got on my laptop to quickly write up this blog post on my blog. Then went to bed (best feeling after a long day! )

So that was all the media I had consumed for today. As you can see I used media in many different ways:

• to escape boredom through entertainment
• to find out things
• to get to places
• to document things
• to do my university work
