So I am in a media studies class and I am required to blog every week so here it goes. My name is Alexis Bell. I am a junior at the University of Maryland- Baltimore County. I am in Phi Sigma Sigma
. I live with two of my sorority sisters, Renata and Tra-mi. They are my best friends. I was born in New Jersey, but I moved to Georgia when I was 3 and lived there ever since. I am 20 years old, and I am turning 21 in December and can't wait. I am a media and communications study major and that is why I am taking this class. I am studying abroad in Chile this winter for 4 weeks to fulfill the rest of my Spanish requirements and hopefully having a wonderful time. I am also very interested in the media so I am excited about taking this class. I am in college because my parents made me and it is kind of what you are expected to do after college, but I am having a good time being here. Since I have been in school I have been a Biology major and a Psychology major, but now I finally decided what I want to do. Within my major I am required to do an internship which I hope to do this summer at an advertising firm in Washington DC. When I get out of school I hope to work for an advertising firm and do marketing for big companies, just to get my foot in the door. Hopefully one day I will be able to do personal PR work for a big company or for a celebrity. I hope this class gives me a better back ground in the study of media and the way media affects society. This class is the main idea of my major so this class is very important.
