Blog #1: Greetings!

Hello, everyone! My name is Megan and I am majoring in Literary Studies and will graduate next spring. I am originally from Los Angeles California and moved to Texas about 9 years ago. My family and I like Texas a lot but I think I may want to move back eventually; I miss the mountains too much! It is definitely too flat here and the summers are way too hot and humid. I have been spoiled by gorgeous weather over there. We try to make a trip out there to see family and friends at least once a year.

I am very close with my family. I have one older brother and we have a great relationship. I am very thankful for the bond we share – I can tell him anything without judgment and we have a great sense of humor (at least, I like to think so J). I love crafts and can usually be found creating something from Pinterest or knitting. I also have a love for cats and have accepted my fate as a crazy cat lady.

My favorite show would have to be Lost. I completely binge watched the entire series last summer and I started re-watching it a few weeks ago. The music is fantastic. Michael Giacchino, the composer, is in my opinion, a musical genius. Something else I should throw out there is that I am really into music and could literally talk about it for hours. I’m pretty open to all sorts of music except country. I absolutely HATE it and I apologize to any of you I may have offended with that statement.

I’m pretty involved with media although I don’t post all that much on Facebook anymore but when I do, it's usually photos or relatable and silly Buzz Feed links. I am pretty obsessed with Instagram though. I have recently developed a passion for photography within the past few years and I always take time to snap a picture whenever I get the chance. It’s also fun to follow other photographers on the app and see their different styles of shooting and to get some ideas. I’m also pretty addicted to Netflix and was surprised and happy to see that it is a requirement for this class.


I’m excited for this class and can’t wait to read everyone’s intro posts! J

  1. Nice to meet you Megan! Best of luck in your last year before graduation!

    Not much of a country lover myself and I appreciate the bluntness there. Music is a beautiful thing and gets me through any situation, there's such beauty in its ability to do that.

    I think we might clash a bit when it comes to your taste and involvement with media, go check out my post. All is well though! I envy your involvement with photography though, that's something I've always wanted to get into to and mess around with myself.

  2. Netflix is required because it's easy to sign up for and it's easy to say, watch episode # Season # and we can dissect the same episode. We will all have different viewpoints and it's fun to see how your attitude changes about media.

  3. I too am a crazy cat lady!

    We would get along so great! I absolutely love music and despise country music. I tried so hard to actually like it, but just can't.

    I'm really into photography. It's my hobby! You should look up VSCO. They have a cool free app and editing software (not free). I have a photography page with them, but have not touched it in a semester.

  5. Having lived on the west coast for a large chunk of my life, I can totally relate with the weather! California in general is simply beautiful.

    I also binged LOST a few summers ago, and it swiftly became one of my favorite shows of all time (regardless of plot issues!). I was lucky enough to see Giacchino perform at the Meyerson a few years ago... it was phenomenal. He conducted the DSO as they performed major pieces from Ratatouille, Star Trek (goosebumps), and LOST (and more). I'm pretty sure half of the audience was crying by the end of it!
