I am still confused as to who I am and I think the media may be the culprit. This barrage of images and ideas that are thrown at me every day from every angle, makes it such that I cannot even form an opinion anymore. My thoughts are not really my own, but are being shaped by everything around me.
I like certain movies only because I am told to see these movies by the media when there are many other movies that I might never get the chance to see because I was not influenced to view them or did not know they existed. I listen to music because it is popular and widely played when there is so much music out there that I will never get the chance to experience unless I try to venture out on my own instead of just listening to what's popular.
I have gone from being an accounting major to an English major to an Education major and now to a Media Studies major. I have dropped out of school only to return and then drop out again and then return again.
Don't worry you aren't the only one confused out there. The plethora of choices that can possibly form who we are and how we think is ridiculous. We are constantly changing as life continues, I say find whatever gives you enjoyment!
