I don't listen to an extreme amount of music. I'm not prone to listening to music between classes and I don't listen to it whenever I get the chance. Sure, I listen to music more this year than in the past, but unlike others my age, I don't need music to do things.
I enjoy watching TV shows, especially if I can binge watch them on Netflix. Watching TV shows without commercials gives me less of a media influx in my head; there are less media tricks to assault me with.
I thoroughly enjoy watching movies of all kinds, which exposes me to different kinds of media tricks due to the different audiences they're aiming for.
I think social media has the biggest grasp on my life. Although I don't have many social media platforms, I still feel like I'm most affected by it. Instagram is my main source, in terms of social media. The only other social media platforms I have are an unused kik and an occasionally-used Pinterest. I don't have Snapchat, Tumblr, Facebook, or Twitter, but I am still strongly effected by what social media spurts out.
Even though I don't always realize how strong a hold the media has on my life, it is an ever-present shadow, lurking in the background.
