What Up
Hello everyone I'm Jake. I am a senior in high school. I currently live with my mom, dad, and sister and I plan on attending college next year. So who am I really? Well, the person I am today is made up of everything I come in contact on a regular basis. My major influences are my parents, teachers, co-workers, friends, and other family members. I am also influenced by the media, as is most everyone living in this deindividualizing society we call The US. Anyways, besides that I really enjoy spending time with friends, weather I am at a party, just at a friends house, or even playing sports. Oh yeah, I really enjoy playing sports. I am on an intramural basketball team and I also play pick up games with friends of football, ultimate Frisbee, hockey, and I golf occasionally. Music is a BIG part of my life. I love listening to music, in fact I am listening to music right now. I listen to all sorts of music, rock to rap, specifically jam rock, classic rock, some alternative, hip hop, and rap. Other than that, I currently have a job at The UPS Store three days a week. I have had two other jobs prior to my current, one at my fathers office working in the warehouse and the other at Potbelly Sandwich Co. That is my life in a nutshell, of course their is more depth to me but all other detail will have to be uncovered in future blogs.

Jake, it's a really interesting dichotomy between individualism and group mentality in America. On the one hand we have a strong value of individualism. We are independent, individualized people, but we also are shaped by large mass media like commercials and advertising. We'll explore these ideas later.
