  1. Stranger Things (Netflix)
    If you haven’t yet dived into the mysterious world of Hawkins, Indiana, now is the perfect time. Stranger Things blends 80s nostalgia, supernatural thrills, and heartwarming friendships.

    For fans of humor and dazzling period costumes, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is a must-watch. It follows a witty housewife who becomes a stand-up comedian in 1950s New York. The dialogue is clever, the performances are amazing, and the storytelling keeps you hooked. Adding a photo of Midge performing on stage would really show the energy and style of the show.

From a high school chemistry teacher to a feared drug kingpin, the show is full of suspense, moral dilemmas, and unforgettable twists. Each episode builds tension that makes it almost impossible to stop watching. Embedding a short trailer clip highlighting Walter’s transformation would be perfect here.

  4. Schitt’s Creek (Netflix / CBC)
    For a lighter, feel-good option, Schitt’s Creek delivers both laughter and heart. The show follows the wealthy Rose family as they adjust to life in a small town after losing their fortune.

    Finally, The Queen’s Gambit is perfect for fans of drama, strategy, and strong female leads. The story of chess prodigy Beth Harmon is inspiring and intense as she navigates fame, addiction, and personal growth. The cinematography and period details make it visually stunning. Including an image of Beth in a chess tournament would highlight the tension and elegance of the show.

Oh, The Places that you will go when you use Social Media!

Mass media is everywhere, from when I wake up and scroll through my phone to when I relax in front of the television in the evening. It's incredible how much information, entertainment, and even learning we absorb unconsciously. This past week, I paid attention to what I was learning from different media sources, and what I found profound was how each one added something unique to the construction of my own understanding of the world. From Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, television, and a cooking show, I was able to see just how powerful and diverse mass media is. The first thing I learned this week was regarding the government shutdown, and surprisingly, I did not hear about it on the news I heard about it on TikTok. There was a little video on my page where the artist explained what a government shutdown is in simple terms and how it affects everyday people. What was incredible was the way you could take such a complex political scenario and make it all make sense in under a minute....

How media shapes my everyday life

In today's world, media isn't just something we consume; it's the environment we live in. Between endless social feeds, non-stop news cycles, and entertainment streaming at the tip of our thumbs, it's easy to underestimate just how much time we actually spend consuming media every day. For me, that number is about five hours daily. From scrolling TikTok, watching the news on TV, and catching NFL football games-especially the Pittsburgh Steelers media has become an ever present part of my daily rhythm.

This theory indicates that people actively seek out media for specific needs informing, entertaining, social connection, and personal identity. Instead of passive consumers, we are active participants in choosing what content fulfills us. Take TikTok, for instance. I scroll through vid...

Textbooks vs Ebooks

Image
I recently ran a simple poll on Instagram asking my friends and followers whether they prefer traditional textbooks or ebooks for their college classes. I let it run for 24 hours, expecting a tight race, but the results leaned in one clear direction. When the poll closed,   60 percent preferred ebooks , while  40 percent chose traditional textbooks. While the split wasn’t extreme, it showed a noticeable shift toward digital reading one that reflects the growing trend across the broader ebook industry. Over the past decade, ebooks have expanded from a convenience option to a major part of academic publishing. According to data from the Pew Research Center (2023), digital reading has increased steadily among college-age adults, driven by affordability, portability, and the availability of reading apps on nearly every device. For students juggling multiple classes, the ability to carry an entire semester’s worth of material on a phone or tablet often outweighs the comfort of pri...
