Hello everyone. My name is Eric and I am a second semester junior here at Binghamton University. I am a History major with an eye towards law school in the near future. I'm from a small town on Long Island called Rockville centre and went to South Side High School. Interestingly enough my hometown is what gave me my nick name, "Rocky", here at Binghamton.
In terms of interests, I'm a big time sports fan and listen to a wide range of music. My favorite sport is hockey and I'm a huge Islanders fan. I follow the Yankees, Knicks, and Giants very closely as well. In terms of music my interests are all over the place. I've always had a soft spot for hip hop and rock, but since coming to Binghamton I've become very much into house music. My favorite artists include Wiz Khalifa, Hoodie Allen, Mac Miller, Swedish House Mafia, Avicii, Phoenix, and Miike Snow to name a few.
My interest in taking this class stems from a lot of different things. For starters, my father was a sports writer for the Daily News and Newark Star Ledger. I've grown up around media members all my life and have taken a very keen interest in how media has evolved so quickly over my lifetime. On top of this, modern media has granted me great access to a wide network of information in my interests of sports and music. Blogs, social media, and the Internet are great tools in expanding my horizons in many ways.
By taking this class and participating in this blog I hope to enrich my own capabilities as a writer while expanding my knowledge in terms of what this great tool of digital media has to offer.
