1: Personal Video Habits

While I try to limit my screen time each day, I am often in front of a screen more than I would like. I start my morning by making my coffee, sitting down, and watching TV for about an hour before I start getting ready for the day. I don't have class until 11 every day but I try each morning to be out of bed between 9:00 - 9:30, I enjoy my slow mornings and feel like waking up earlier than needed gives me time to get mentally prepared for the day. After I make my coffee I will sit on the couch and turn the TV on, click Hulu, and watch One Tree Hill, I have seen this show all the way through multiple times, but it's an easy show to watch because I don't have to pay attention. I scroll on all my social media while the TV is playing in the background to feel caught up on everything that happened while I was asleep.



Once I am ready for the day and in class, I will open my computer and check what I have due for the week, once I am caught up on my work for the week I will open up Hulu or Netflix and watch a show while I take notes or continue on my work. Every now and then I will check my phone and open up Snapchat to respond to the people who sent me a Snap, and then I will switch back and forth between Instagram, TikTok, and sometimes Facebook. Since I am a cheerleader here at SAU, I try to do all my work while I am in class so I don't have to spend time doing it while I am at home or on the weekend. Once I get home from class I will sit on the couch and watch TV while I relax before practice starts. Since The Bachelor has started back up my roommate and I have started to watch that together, after we finish our show we will both sit there together and recap our day while we have a random show on as background noise. 


By that time it's normally time to head to practice, we practice Monday - Wednesday from 5:00 - 7:00, after practice I will come back to my apartment and see if my boyfriend, Tyler, has eaten dinner. If he hasn't I will scroll on TikTok to find a recipe that is quick and easy to make for both of us for dinner. Finding a recipe on TikTok is super easy because they will give you step-by-step to something that tastes really good but isn't super challenging to make. Almost anything I make for dinner comes from something that I have found on the internet, I love to cook but hate figuring out what to make. 


After dinner, I usually get in bed around 9:30 - 10:00, I like to watch Friends before I am ready to go to sleep. Friends is something easy that I can turn on and scroll on my phone and not feel like I am missing anything. Around 11:30 I will pick a movie to watch to ultimately fall asleep, it takes probably around 20 minutes to pick a movie because I am indecisive, last week I watched all three Cars movies to fall asleep and didn't finish a single one. I have to fall asleep with the TV on so picking a movie is an easy way for me to make sure the TV is on when I fall asleep but will turn off after and not stay on all night long.

4: Advertising Analysis

Advertising is a universal force in contemporary society, molding our perceptions, guiding our decisions, and saturating our daily experiences. As consumers, we encounter a relentless barrage of ads across various platforms, TV, radio, social media, and billboards. I will explore the complexities of advertising analysis, shedding light on the art and science behind crafting persuasive messages that grab our attention and influence consumer behavior. At its core, advertising is an artistic expression designed to emotionally engage and connect with its audience. Successful ads often tap into human emotions, creating memorable experiences that linger in our minds. Depending on the product or service being promoted, this emotional connection varies, using humor, nostalgia, empathy, or aspiration. For instance, the enduring Coca-Cola Christmas campaigns evoke feelings of warmth and togetherness, associating the brand with positive emotions during the festive season. Visual elements are pivo
