"So no one told you life was going to be this way..."
Media plays an important role in my life. Fall is one of my favorite times of year because all the shows return from there summer hiatus. I plan my week accordingly. The Hills on Monday, Law & Order: SVU on Tuesday, Private Practice on Wednesday (I am greatly disappointed that Kate Walsh is not returning to Grey’s Anatomy this fall), and Grey’s Anatomy on Thursday. If I miss one of these shows during the week, I will watch it online for free or buy it off of Itunes. The only time I purchase DVDs is when I really love a show or movie. If I am seeing a movie out on DVD for the first time I will rent it for a dollar from a Hollywood Video machine at my local Cub Foods. My favorite way of escaping from a stressful week is by going to the theatre. Hollywood Romantic-comedies tend to be my favorite type of film, but I do not mind viewing other genres.
I do not personally subscribe to any newspaper, but my family does subscribe to the Pioneer Press. I subscribe to Teen Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. Any other magazines that I purchase are because of which celebrity is on the cover. I always make daily stops at CNN.com or PerezHilton.com
I believe there is a strong correlation between the media I view and myself. Somehow, I try to relate what is happening on the screen back to my life. Whether it be having a strong long-lasting friendships portrayed on Friends or going through a similar experience like Lauren Conrad on The Hills. Each individual form of media allows us to glimpse into each other’s lives.

"Friends" teaches great life lessons. Like how spending your time at Central Perk is more beneficial than actually going to work. Or that maternity pants are great for when you're eating a turkey.
And the Hollywood Video movie machine is one of the greatest inventions known to humankind.
