Facebook Page #1

Blog: Prompt #1

I created a facebook page for an “ideal citizen” of a college dorm. I decided to choose this ideal citizen because I am surrounded by people in college dorms at all times, so I would like to think that I know what most people expect a college student to look like. I also chose for my ideal college student to be a female because I figure that I know more about women, in being one. I gave her the name Lana Roberts because it is a mixture of noncoventional and conventional. Lana is not a likely used name, however, Roberts is a very common last name for Americans. I decided to have her be born in Phoenix, Arizona but attend college at UC Berkely in California. I chose these places because they are far away from where I live, so it makes it easier to generalize what most people look like in Phoenix or California. This is why I chose Lana to be a skinny, medium height, tan, and brown-haired twenty year old. I know that in our society it is looked upon that an ideal college student be thin and beautiful. Also I made her tan because she lives on the west coast and have brown-hair because she is also intelligent. Lana Roberts appearance is that of a young beautiful college student.
Next some of Lana’s interests include soccer, reading, swimming, hanging out with friends, soaking up the sun on the beach, and others. I chose these different types of interests because I thought these were some typical activities that an all-around college girl would participate in. Then her favorite types of music were decided to be The Fray, Jack Johnson, Lil Wayne, and John Mayer. I believe that these music selections are popular for girls around this age and for our society. Afterwards her favorite Tv shows and movies were selected. Some of the shows like Greys Anatomy, and movies like How to Lose a Guy in Ten Days supported the image of a representative american girl. Also, since Lana loves to read, she is into books like Harry Potter and the Twilight saga. These books have been really popular within the last couple years so I figured that an ideal college girl has read most of them. Basically, Lana can be categorized as a common young college girl by being family oriented, fun-loving, and eccentric. I believe that I have created the ideal citizen for a youthful college girl in California.
