First blog ever!

   I successfully added my Intro to Advertising class and after some confusion I am finally and officially blogging! WOW! How exciting!  This is very new to me!

  Here is a quick little intro:
      I am a Communications Studies major at SJSU and this is my final semester, which has me feeling excited and nervous!  I have been a student since I can remember and the thought of not taking classes next semester is a little terrifying, but I'm sure it will all work out!  This semester I have enrolled in many classes, all of which are outside of my major, so I am a little out of my comfort zone, but it feels good and refreshing!

   Week One:
      We covered a deep and very interesting history of Advertising which was very helpful in getting to know the business since I know very little about it.  I see that Advertising has evolved very fast and has stayed competitive, much like the technology business.  We covered Brands and Branding, which was very interesting.  The link between brands and personal/social identity has always been fascinating to me.

   While in class we broke up into small groups to discuss brands and to choose a favorite and least favorite commercial advertisement.  Everyone agreed that the the AT&T commercials were very good!!
    
   

The group agreed that all pop up adds are the worst because they are bothersome, specifically the ones on Pandora.
