I got interviewed for the communication science online magazine of my university. You can read it here.

“It’s scary how the way people see you online can be completely different to the person you really are.” – “Why is that so?” Good question. “I guess it’s because we tend to only publish things that we find worth sharing. Which are usually the positive ones. At least that’s what I do.” – “But doesn’t that mean it’s completely superficial?” Silence.

I hesitated for a second, dipping a cookie in my coffee. It felt awkward being the interviewed person this time instead of the interviewer. Daria was an amazing interviewer, although she claimed despite being an aspiring journalist that this was her first interview ever. My answers were nowhere near as good as the question and my mouth got dry from trying to sound like a more or less eloquent communication science student. The medium is the message. * It’s pretty simple.

* Marshall McLuhan now is what Sigmund Freud used to be in my last years of school. A scientist you sneer at until you awkwardly admit that his theory is one of the most accurate things you’ve heard so far.
