 Movie Review - Don't Worry Darling      Since we just have survived a global pandemic, and due to the fact that I am an international student without a car, attending a school in Magnolia, Arkansas, that does not have a movie theatre, it has been a very long time since I went to see a movie in a movie theatre. Before the pandemic started, I was used to going to the movie theatre with my friends and family a lot, at least once every two weeks. My uncle has a big interest in movies and even has his own movie theatre in his apartment, which might not be a public movie theatre but I will still count it as one, and it used to be a family tradition to visit him a couple of times a year to watch a movie together. Because of all this, before heading down to El Dorado I was looking forward a lot to watching the movie.      Another reason why I was looking forward to going and watching a movie at a movie theatre, was because of the choice of movie.

 Personal Media Usage Keeping track of my personal media usage was something that I was very excited to do. The different types of media are a big part of my life today and I am aware that I spend a lot of time using them, just not very aware of what media I spend the most time on daily. Even though I would prefer to not admit it, I am addicted to both my phone and maybe even my laptop. Some people might say it is a bad thing, that I am wasting my creativiness on my phone when I could have done that somewhere else. Personally, I do not think that it is a bad thing because I am browsing through the medias and constantly finding new ideas and inspiration for all kinds of things.      The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is to check the notifications that I have received on my phone during the night. I am from Sweden so there is a difference in time compared to over here so I usually wake up to a few messages on WhatsApp from friends and family that I alwa...
