1"You're the person who analyzes movies." - Reed Clayton, freshman

Watching a movie isn't fun, it's a job. Examining every detail in a movie is the norm.

2You "know how to professionally form a video package." - Derek Bayer, sophomore

After working at pretty much every organization that shows up at SuperParty, a video package is as simple as the cakewalk at the end of the event.

3You're a "pop culture enthusiast." - Dalton Williams, freshman

Whose hips don't lie? Shakira's. Where are the best waffles in Pawnee? JJ's Diner. Anything there is to know about entertainment will be found out by the TCOM major.

4"You spend all your time staring at a screen." - Rob Moore, freshman

Editing takes time, but that doesn't just mean hours -- it means days.


5You have "more projects than homework." - Ryan Beery, freshman

Gone are the days of daily math worksheets. Now, homework means taping, interviewing and editing.


6The University Teleplex is a "second home." - Quentin Smith, freshman

Walking into the Teleplex means an enthusiastic greeting some people only receive when they visit Grandma's.


7You "know the difference between an EVS and a Melt." - Kaitlin Young, freshman

No, a Melt isn't a delicious sandwich and EVS doesn't stand for "emergency ventilation system."


8You're "way too interested in TV shows." - Troy Scott, junior

It is possible to watch eight shows at a time and still know exactly what happened in each episode.


9You know how to make something "original by putting a twist to it." - Austin Hoofkin, freshman

There's a reason the TCOM major isn't going to school for accounting -- creativity comes naturally.
