SNHU Students’ Media Interests
Logan Mock - Staff Writer
With the temperature dropping and the snow rising, people at SNHU are finding themselves inside more and more. With this extended time spent inside, people are spending more of it listening to their favorite tunes and watching their favorite movies.
There’s a wide variety of genre interests all across the campus, like Emily Stevens (‘25), who said she has been spending her time listening to alternative rock bands like Paramore and Fallout Boy. She has also been watching many Disney and Marvel movies, such as “Thor: Ragnarok,” and “Tangled.”
Other students have been enjoying more modern music. Emma Eramo (‘24) has been listening to Marina and the Diamonds, while Kearsten Imbody (‘24) has been listening to “a lot of Taylor Swift.”
Imbody has also been rewatching the “Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” movies, adaptations of the classic fantasy novels of the same name by J.R.R. Tolkien. Eramo has not been watching many shows or movies but instead has spent much of her time watching YouTube videos like Lockpicking Lawyer. The YouTube channel follows the Lockpicking Lawyer as he shows all the ways that popular locks are actually easily breakable.
Other students have an interest in reality shows, like “Ink Master,” a show Nadiya Abdi (‘25) describes as “Gordon Ramsay with tattoos.” “Ink Master” pits ten expert tattoo artists in head-to-head competitions and challenges with only one winner. Abdi has also been listening to “Charlie’s Inferno” by That Handsome Devil.
Another TV show that people have been watching, such as Cooper Lewis (‘25), is “Peaky Blinders.” The show follows the lives of gangsters in early 1900s England as they deal with a changing world and rival gangs. Lewis has also been listening to classic rock songs, mostly Creedence Clearwater Revival.
When weather warms and students spend more time outside, time will tell whether these media habits will continue or evolve with the change of the seasons.
