Blog post 2- Media Diet

My media diet is a little bit unusual. Most of my time is spent watching Tiktoks. Tiktok is a fairly new application where people post 15-60 second videos for entertainment. It is kind of a new addiction of mine. It entertains me and takes up a majority of my free time, which isn’t good. I also LOVE to read. During the semester, it gets harder to read with all the homework assigned, but as a student who grew up in the technology-based generation, I think that I am unique for my yearn for a good book. My favorite author of all time is Jason Meyers. Meyers’ most popular book is “Exit Here.” Jason Meyers is a different kind of writer. Excuse my language, but his books are quite f*cked up, making them super interesting to read. I can relate to his made up characters in the way that they like to party, but on the inside they all have one thing in common, a troubled past. I have all of his books and I have reread each of them about ten times, they are so addicting. Okay, enough about Jason Meyers. I think growing up in this generation it is important to have something outside of social media to rely on. On social media, people post their opinions and spread fake news around, making social media somewhat toxic. I will sometimes watch the news and read news articles in order to keep up with what is going on around the world. I mostly use social media as entertainment instead of a place where i get information on people, places, and news.
