Pop Culture

As far as reading for pop culture--do I post it here?

Pop culture is what we are experiencing and effects how we see and interpret everything in the world around us.
A skill that I have developed is cake baking and decorating. I am highly influenced by popular baking shows and websites of today, such as Cake Boss and websites like Pinterest.
I think that if I were living a hundred years ago and doing the same thing, I'd be looking at the Ladies' Home Journal or Prufert's Cakeing Tips into to gauge my level of proficiency and success.
Pop culture does affect us, and essentially, makes up a part of each of our personalities, regardless of our intentions.

Getting to Know...Me

   My name is Amanda Nellie Jane Wright. I am a transfer student this year; I am coming from Sewanee, University of the South. I came to MTSU because it was more affordable and accessible.
   A little bit about me...
       I have been doing musical theatre for 18 and 1/2 of my 19 years, I play the violin, I am learning to speak Russian and German (Russian because I am fascinated with the culture and German because one of my closest friends comes from Germany but studies here in the U.S.), and I'm looking to find my way into a business degree here at MTSU so that I may one day open my own bakery.
      My current playlist on my iPhone includes (but is not limited to) Vivaldi, Bach, the Black Keys, Linkin' Park, Mumford and Sons, Julie Andrews, Fiddler on the Roof Sountrack, Les Miserables Soundtrack, Weezer, Two Cellos, and the Cranberries.
      My current Hulu queue includes (but is not limited to) Monk, Once Upon a Time, Bunheads, Drop Dead Diva, Gossip Girl, New Girl, GCB, NCIS, 30 Rock, the Colbert Report, and Beverly Hills Nannies.
