Today marks the seventh day and last day of analysing my media consumption.
I started my day off with a big cup of coffee while watching VOGUE videos on Youtube. I then administered my daily routine of sending my streaks on Snapchat. As I did this I also checked and replied to messages on Messenger, Go through my Instagram and Facebook newsfeed while replying to tags with comments. Then I hopped into the shower and listened to my playlist on Soundcloud on my speaker.
After this I decided I needed to stop my chill sesh and actually get some real work done. I went on my laptop and started doing my readings for Media 1 found on the media factory website and on the home tab widget readings. I then wrote a blog post on my blog in the media one category about the reading. I also checked the assessment for Media 1 (PB3) on the media factory website on the home tab widget assessment to check to see what equipment I needed to shoot the assignment. I then checked my student emails on Gmail.
After I completed all my work, I walked down to my boyfriends house to visit the sick soul. I walked listening to my playlist on Soundcloud. When I got there I watched a movie with him on Youtube. I didn’t stay for that long though as I had to go to Work.
Work finished at 7pm. When I got home I made myself dinner and went on Pinterest as I ate. Looking through the Pins that had come up on my feed and pinning the pins I liked onto my own categorised boards on my account. Afterwards I got on my laptop again and wrote this blog post.
So that was all the media I had consumed for today. As you can see I used media in many different ways:
- to communicate with friends
- to escape boredom through entertainment
- to do my university work
- to interact with my friends and the rest of the world

- Soundcloud
