The first and last thing that I look at every day is media. When my alarm first goes off in the morning, after hitting snooze a few times, I automatically grab my phone and start scrolling through my social medias. I start by checking and messages or notifications that I might have missed during the night and then I make my way from Instagram to Snapchat to Facebook. At night, I get in bed and plug my phone into its charger which happens to be right by my head and then I scroll through all my social medias as I did in the morning. I noticed that many times I would just pointlessly scroll through different social medias while barely even looking at what was on my screen. I wasn’t really paying attention because this was just an instinctive activity that I do before I go to bed each night.

While my morning and nights are full of social medias like Instagram, Facebook, and Snapchat, I noticed that during the day I use school medias like email, eLC, and Microsoft Word to take notes during class more than I use my social medias. Although, I did always notice myself reaching for my phone and pointlessly scrolling through Instagram whenever I got a little bored during the day. I check my phone so much during the day that I usually have to charge it a couple of time during the day because the battery starts to run very low. From logging my media usage, I noticed that almost everything that I do every day relies on media in some sort of way.
