Part 2.
I tend to consume more mass communication more than anything, mainly spending a
good majority of my media time on social media. I would say this is not a very average
day for my media uses, some days it can range to a couple hours in random spurts
throughout the day on social media just aimlessly scrolling. This was more of a chill,
relaxation type day so I wasn’t on my phone as much as I normally am. You can see in
the beginning of the day I spend a brief amount of time on social media more to find out
information, what’s been going on while I was asleep, to see if anything happened and
what people are up to. When on social media I tend to usually be on it in small spurts
throughout the day whenever I have a bit of free time. I spent a good majority of my
media time in this day listening to music, which again I use as more of a relaxation and

throughout this day and like many others is just to help pass time and help me enjoy
things a little more. During this project I learned media is all over, it’s almost hard to get
away from it. I use media for more of a time pass than anything I’ve learned through this
project, and it helps me understand that I don’t need to put so much importance on
media and “keeping up” when I basically only use it to help my day go by.

into restaurants, checking our phones, watching TV at home, it’s all over and there
really is no escaping it. Categorizing the reasons I personally use media felt pretty easy

pass time with my media more than anything. When completing this and making note of
