I went on a media fast a couple weeks ago for my mass media class and had to make a meme about it. I freaking love college.
I also wrote a blog post about it. Check it out here! https://daphnetett.wixsite.com/daphitude/post/so-i-went-on-a-media-fast
Overdue vacation and media fast.
Overdue vacation and media fast.
The time has come to take a long vacation and withdraw from the last bits of media that I am still engaged in and to create a rest from five years of self-driven work building careers I had no idea would even become as such.
I will start tomorrow morning and return on February 2nd. Yay! I am excited for this small reprieve from a busy life. I’m watching Haegreendal as I type this and cleaning…

Outdoor Offices
Hello again. Well, I have been diligently writing since I last saw you despite everything that tries to get in the way. I really try to treat my writing time like something sacred that can’t be interrupted. Unfortunately, no one else seems to see it that way. They more see it like “Oh good you’re around I need…” time. Yesterday, due to some complicated circumstances that mostly involve me…

My Media Fast - How am I Still Life?
Earlier this semester I did an assignment for my “Media, Messages, and Society” class called a media fast. For 24 hours I had to go without all media: TV, computer, phone, music - everything. As someone who spends quite a lot of time texting, on social media, and watching Youtube and Netflix, I knew this was going to be a challenge. I chose a day when I had quite a lot of classes and work so that I would be able to be preoccupied by other things, but I still found it really hard.
Whenever there was a moment of downtime I felt the itch to reach into my pocket and check my notifications. Any moment I wasn’t doing something I found myself getting bored. Even when hanging out with my friends I noticed that at times they’d all be on devices and I would just be sitting there thinking “Hello?”
At the end of the day when I turned on my phone, it didn’t feel like “Oh my God my lifesource I missed you so much!” But rather I just caught up with some friends and talked to my mom. If I were to pinpoint one thing I learned from this exercise, it would be that I didn’t die from being away from my phone and social media. I think this summer I might try to do this again and get more in touch with myself.
