My family provides me a safe haven whenever I have doubts or insecurities. There is comfort in knowing they are just as weird as me. They don’t mind being odd and neither do I when I am with them.

My cell phone keeps me connected to the large amount of family and friends who are dispersed across the globe. Three members of my immediate family are out of state and one of those out of the country. My cell phone keeps me connected and helps breaks the distance between us.

Rowing livens the champion in me. The sport gives me a feeling of invincibility that I have never found in any other activity. The few times I have taken a break from the sport I feel that I have lost a instrumental part of myself.

Facebook: I use Facebook in a variety of ways. Through private messages I keep in touch with friends. The news feed, often full of shared videos and memes, provides me entertainment through my phone during small downtime periods like waiting in line for coffee or for the bus. I have also used to site for a handful of classes for group project conversations. Occasionally I will share photos, but I mainly view the site and use it as a communication tool.

Online Video: I use Hulu, Netflix, Youtube, and Wimp to view videos almost solely through my computer. Like Facebook, these sites mainly contain entertainment value for me. They give me an opportunity to wind down after a long day or a lot of work, but can also be a topic for conversation and a way to stay current.
