For as long as I can remember I have used social media as a means of escapism, but as I work to become more mindful, I have come to realize that, honestly, I don’t like social media that much. Twitter was never for me and I use Facebook as a tool to connect and keep up with family and a few friends, but with YouTube and Instagram I find myself bored and unsatisfied with the content on my feed. I ask myself, is this an improvement, a sign that I am moving towards better habits and a healthier relationship with social media? Or is my dissatisfaction a sign that my attention span has shrunk to a new low without my realizing it?

A Vision of Students in 2018
This coming week marks the end of my work as a part of CMNS 150, and with it, the completion of our final assignment 'A Vision of Students in 2018'.
The project was inspired by Michael Wesch's 2007 video 'A Vision of Students today'. For this project, our class of about 30 collaborated on a Google doc to share our experiences as students in 2018, which we then used to produce this video.
We worked in groups of 3 in which we had the freedom to choose the messages as we see fit, so, after clicking on the links above, be sure to check out the linked blogs to see other videos from my class.

Subject of Interest: Gabriele Galimberti's photo series
I first encountered Gabriele Galimberti's work when a photo and caption from his series Toy Stories was featured on National Geographic's Instagram page, and have followed him since. Galimberti works usually consist of him traveling the world and capturing people from across cultures sharing a common theme, showcasing the commonality the people across cultures.
My favorite of his series thus far has been Fathers. It is both fascinating and heartwarming to read about the relationships and traditions between father and child. I have also been looking more into the series Couchsurfing, and recommend In Her Kitchen featuring grandmas and their signature recipes!
