Fangirl
For as long as I can remember, I have been watching movies and TV shows. From every single Barbie movie to Martin Scorsese’s disturbing Shutter Island, watching all these films has brought me so much pleasure and happiness in so many ways.

Why I Heart My Media
When I was younger, I actually didn’t really consume the ‘average’ amount of media like other kids in my school.

A hoarder, but digitally
Yesterday, I signed up to pay Google 2 euros a month because my account ran out of storage. All for photos and videos and documents I probably will look at once a year. Worth it!
Ik hou van mijn media
Ik hou van mijn media omdat ze een ontelbare hoeveelheid mogelijkheden bieden. Het maakt mijn leven een stuk gemakkelijker. Sociale media maken mogelijk dat ik in contact kan blijven met mensen om wie ik geef. Google Maps is een van mijn grootste raadgevers, ik heb namelijk het richtingsgevoel van een poffertje. Ik zou niet weten …
Why I neither love nor hate my media.
To put it short: Black Mirror is why I hate, or let’s say, feel nervous about media. Life in a Day, as an example of why I love media. Now, to explain this thought a little bit: We do not have to argue how immense the effects of media have become nowadays. They have always …
