Delving into the Media

Hello, everyone! My name is Rachel. I am from a little town named Seymour, CT, kind of near New Haven if you know where that is. If not, here is a picture I found courtesy of Google.

Over the break, I saw Black Swan, one of the greatest movies I've seen in a while. It was a really good thriller, and the way the plot came together at the end was just amazing. Darren Aronofsky is a great director. If you haven't seen any of his movies, I suggest you Netflix them ASAP. Here is the trailer for his newest film, Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman.




One thing I like about our media culture is that it is very easy to find information. I can't imagine having to go to the library every time I want to know something random, like what was Abraham Lincoln's middle name (he didn't have one, by the way). Thank goodness for Wikipedia, right? The one thing I dislike about our media culture is Facebook. It is nothing but a huge waste of time, where you can sit and stalk people all day.

I'm honestly not sure what I want to do with my Communications degree from Champlain, but I can see myself owning my own restaurant when I'm older. Not very related, but oh well.
