My media viewing habits have definitely increases since being COVID-19 hit. When I was living on campus before COVID-19 hit, the majority of my media viewing happened during the evening and more on the weekends because those were the times of the day where I had more free time. However, now that COVID-19 has hit and I am at home I have been viewing media more during the day. I’ve tried not to be online too much, but there is only so many time a person can walk around their neighborhood. I have been on Instagram and Twitter more than I normally would be during the day and I am watching Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime Instant Video more than before. I have noticed that, with the exception of Tiger King on Netflix, I have been re-watching shows that I have already finished  such as Downton Abbey on Amazon Prime Instant Video, Call the Midwife, and old Disney movies on Netflix. I’ve also been re-watching old shows that I first watched when I was younger like Victorious and the good Teen Titans. I think that one possible explanation for theses trends that I’ve noticed in my viewing habits is that it takes a lot for me to start and get invested in a new movie and series, so by re-watching shows and movies I’ve already watched, I don’t expend and waste any energy, if I don’t like the series or movie, on a new series or movie. Another explanation for this trend could be that I relate these movies and TV shows to a time when I knew what was going on in terms of school and had some control. This may be a response to how for some of my classes, now that we are doing online learning, I do not know what is going on or what is going to happen in terms of a final exam for one of my classes. Since I spend much of my energy working on classwork and trying to figure out what I have due for certain classes, it is more appealing to me to watch something that I have already watched and can sort of shut my brain off when I watch it.
