Hey everyone!
My name is Pryanka Sharma. I am a Neuroscience major at UTD and will be graduating in the Fall. I was originally born in New York but then moved down to Texas when I was still young, so I've lived in Dallas most of my life. I love Dallas, but my heart definitely belongs up North. I hope one day I can go back to live in New York or pretty much anywhere on the East Coast.
Since I love New York, I definitely like cold weather and snow. I was born in December so maybe that explains my attachment to the winter season! I like Neuroscience (obviously!), and I like working in my research lab because I like the idea that the research I do can make a difference in people's lives. I like exercising whether it be through playing sports or working out at the gym. I like to dance a lot; that's my favorite form of exercise!
I definitely do no like knuckle cracking. It is one of my biggest pet peeves! I don't like how hot Texas's weather can get during the summer. I also don't like how fast I feel my undergrad years have gone by, and I can't believe I am almost ready to graduate.
I don't watch much TV anymore unless I am interested in a specific show. Currently, my new favorite show is Younger, and it's on TVland. I have in the past been hooked on tv shows like House, Law&Order SVU, Gilmore Girls, and Friends.
I consume media primarily through internet and television. I feel like I use the internet most of the time. It's much easier for me to get to, and I always have access through it with my phone. In fact, I don't find myself using my laptop very much unless I need to do assignments for school because my phone is more convenient. I use Buzzfeed and Yahoo. However, I feel like I hardly use the media for any informative purposes. I should be more updated on current events, but I tend to be more interested in fashion trends and DIY links on Buzzfeed. Speaking of which, I use Youtube a lot to watch makeup tutorials or DIYS. I also like to Youtube different dance choreography by famous Youtube dancers. I feel like it is so easy to be addicted to media these days, and it's one of the reasons I am on my phone so much.
I just came back from a vacation on the east coast - it is so nice there! I love how many trees there are compared to here.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I would have totally agreed with you on the knuckle cracking a few years ago, but sadly I have caught the habit. It's just SO satisfying!
Hi, Pryanka! I have to admit that I think I need to be more caught up on current events as well. Sometimes, I think there is way to much media out there that distracts me from keeping up to date with what's happening in the world. I, too, watch a lot of YouTube makeup videos. They're all so fun to watch!
ReplyDeleteI grew up partly on the East Coast, in fact my brother still lives up there. It's my favorite place. NYC is great... had most of my class trips in the city. It really was the best place to grow up as a teenager.
ReplyDeleteIf you think the undergrad years go by fast, time goes faster the older you get.
I feel like I need to be more up to date on current events too. I think that may be a product though of using my phone for media. It makes it to so I really only get the media or news that I am looking for or at least targeting. Anything outside of that scope I have to go back and research after the fact.

ReplyDeleteHi, I am also a Neuroscience major and I am also graduating this Fall! I completely understand what you mean, where did all my undergrad years go? I feel like I barely started school and now I have to graduate! What lab do you work under?
