Blog 1

Hello everyone,

My name is Kaitlyn Hunter and I am a senior Sociology major at UTD. I grew up in Plano and currently live in Richardson. I have the cutest mini-dachshund puppy named Korby who is named after Corby Davidson on the Ticket which is one of my primary media sources. I listen to 96.7 The Ticket at all times of the day and I am a big 'P1'. I get a lot of my news information from there. I am also involved with facebook and instagram. What I like about facebook is how connected you can be with other sites by using facebook. For instance, on new websites, instead of creating a new account you can simply sign in using your facebook account which saves  a lot of time. What I do not like about facebook is the constant chaos of news stories that are shaky in their accuracy. I do not have cable or regular tv so I rely on Netflix and Hulu for my tv shows. I do not really like movies but I like my tv shows when I have time. My favorite cheesy show is Jane the Virgin. It is a show that plays on the traditional "Tela Novelas" (spelling?) and is very  entertaining. I also enjoy watching The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. As far as my "media" personality I do not post a lot on my facebook besides pictures of my friends and family. I am a bartender in Plano and a member of a private facebook group called 'Life Behind Bars". I interact with this group a lot seeing that many of us suffer the same occupational struggles. To break the ice I would say that if you are ever in need of good drinks and good food stop by Urban Rio where I work!

Talk to everyone soon,
Kaitlyn

  1. Kaitlyn,
    You are so right about Facebook being such a great tool when signing up with other websites and internet services for that matter. However, I would be very careful as Facebook, google and other big companies share your information with other third parties. This information can be found on the agreement we all sign when becoming their active members. In some cases even the government has access to all of this information. Just a thought, but you are right it saves you time.

  2. Cheers Kaitlyn! I'll drink to that! I've never been to Urban Rio, I will give it a try soon. I am sure you have some fascinating stories to listen to behind the bar. I often wonder how many great ideas pass to bartenders, hairstylists and barbers! On par for your course of study!

  3. I'll have to come grab a drink there sometime! As Nancy mentioned being a bartender has probably given you some great insight into your degree i'm sure! And i'm sure your pup is super adorable! Good luck this semester!

  4. From a server to a bartender - keep fighting the good fight. Jimmy Fallon is also a brilliant man and his night show is hard to miss. Best of luck with things during your senior year! Nice taste in radio as well.
