podcasts – Girl Meets The World of Media

Sharing Too Much & Reading Too Little

This whole blog post is based on the media log below.

From the moment this blog was assigned, I already knew what would dominate my media diet: social media.

My media consumption varies throughout the week. I still check Snapchat while going to class, but because I’m so focused on schoolwork, I’m not glued to my phone on weekdays.

But on weekends, I never put down my phone.

I’m a social butterfly, so I really like interacting with people. When I’m on my phone, naturally, I constantly check on my friends. I guess that also makes me a social media butterfly…

Not an actual butterfly like Heimlich here, but a social one. (GIF by hello-claudia33 on Tumblr)

When I was tracking my media consumption on Friday, I thought I wouldn’t be using social media as much because I was hanging out with my high school friends. We were even watching an ITZY concert, which meant even more time away from my phone… right?

Wrong. I still used social media just as much, if not more.
