Hello everyone, my name is Sebastian Reyes. I am a senior at CSUCI who has had the privilege of walking with my fellow classmates this past Saturday. I only have two more classes left this summer to receive my BA in psychology! Yet, both are online courses which is a first. However, considering what I have read  thus far from your descriptions and what is expected from us in the course. I can say this is going to be quite an experience because there is much to be learned and much to be applied. I consider this course to be important through the means of persuasion and framing. Which will offer all of us a realistic scope of media. I feel that the education we all have gained thus far with theories needs to be applied towards progressive thinking. I consider mass media as distraction for our society, but can serve as a powerful tool if directed properly with purpose. With that said I look forward to sharing and engaging with you all.

Hi my name is Rebecca Griffin!

I have one more semester before I graduate and go on to do my teaching credentials. In five years I see myself as being an elementary school teacher.  I love the little ones and hope to get Kindergarten or First grade.  A little more about me I love sports and on down time I love to paint. I especially love basketball as I’ve played since I was five years old. I’ve played on club teams, high school, and in college. I am half French and half American  because my mom is form France and my dad is from Louisiana. If any of you are taking French for a language at CI let me know I can help as I speak it fluently. One of my guilty pleasures is I feel like I check social media sites like Instagram and Snapchat too much when I’m just bored. Instead I want to try doing something rather than always being on my phone! Lastly I do love traveling and have been to many different places in the States as well as in Europe like France, United Kingdom, and Ireland. Nice to meet you all!

Hello group 5! My name is Audrianna, but feel free to call me Anna as it’s faster to type and much easier to spell. I’ll be completely honest, I’m a tad terrified of this class because it’s the first time I’ve taken an online course during the summer that is so writing intensive. I am excited about it though and I’m looking forward to working with everyone in our group.

I’ll go ahead and follow in Kam and Rebecca’s footsteps and tell y’all a little about myself!

I’m currently a senior, I transferred into CI last fall and wanted to finish my degree as quickly as possible because I’ve been in school for so long (6 years almost– eek!) and just want to start my professional career already. I busted out some remaining resolve and have managed to finish up a semester early, and thus I graduate next semester. I love CI but I’m so ready to graduate!

I’m a huge nerd, I occupy my free time playing video games with my husband, and the many friends I’ve made over the years in person and online. I’m currently the President for the CI eSports club on campus, and you should definitely check us out if anyone is back on campus next semester, we have a lot of fun tournaments and club meetings if you’re into games! My guilty pleasure would probably be my love for takis. They are hotter than the sun sometimes but they’re just too addicting, and I usually end up eating too much until I start to feel sick.

I’ve known my husband for over 12 years, dated for a little over half of that, and have been married for a year and a couple of months. He’s from eastern Canada, and that’s also where I’m currently at for my lovely summer break! We met online and several years later things just clicked. I’ve always been interested in communication (hence why I’m majoring in it) and I’m very much looking forward to using this class to really further my knowledge about mass media and communication. I one day would like to work for a Non-profit focused on using video games to help kids in need, and I’d like to use my knowledge gained during my college career to help older generations rid themselves of the negative views of video games.

I think that I’m starting to ramble on a bit too much so I’ll cut my post here. Once again, I’m looking forward to working with all of you!

 

Hey everyone! My name is Allison Sommars, and I just finished up my third year here at CI. I am 21 years old and ready to party it up this summer, just kidding! I am not the partying type.  I was born and raised in San Diego and plan on never leaving. Hopefully I can live in San Diego after I graduate. Speaking of graduating, I honestly have no clue what I want to do with my life. I am a communication major with an emphasis in health, so I am thinking about speech pathology or going into nursing school, but I still have time to make up my mind. My most favorite thing to do is be outside, whether it is at the beach or on a hiking trail. My biggest guilty pleasure involving media is Netflix. For example, I watched Greys Anatomy for the majority of the day today, oops. Oh, also the Bachelor/Bachelorette series. If I miss an episode, I honestly get a little sad and have to find a way to watch it ASAP, it’s terrible. Anyways, that’s me! Looking forward to what this class is all about!
