You will never see Jordan Jones just sitting around doing nothing. He stays busy. “It keeps
my mind active,” he says. He is a Mass Communications major minoring in
Journalism and Film Studies. He has a full scholarship for college here, in
Frostburg, MD, and was born and raised in Sykesville, MD. Jordan has two sisters.
One sister is a senior in high school, and the other is a senior here at
Frostburg State University. His family is a good support system, but he enjoys
being independent. Excellent grades have allowed him to be placed in the Honors
Program, which means he gets first pick of classes! For a student to be granted
admission into the Honors Program, they typically have to have a 3.5 GPA and a minimum
of 1500 on the combined SAT. Jordan is also a Resident Assistant at Edgewood
Commons, and the Section Editor for The
Bottom Line. Needless to say, he has a full schedule every semester.
Watching
and talking about movies is another hobby he enjoys greatly. Two
of Jordan’s favorite films are Apocolypse
Now and Drive. But he hates many modern blockbuster type films. He compares classic film type directors and
writers, to painters while passionately explaining why he has trouble enjoying
the modern day film. “This artist made this painting for a reason,” he declares, “There is a message in it. Most films of
today are created for the purpose of simply making money.” He doesn’t believe
many contemporary films have any depth, and have destroyed the purpose of film.
Although
Jordan was able to enjoy being a film buff this past summer with his 10 trips
to the movie theatre, he was still a busy bee working 40 hours a week at an
engineering Company called Potomac Instruments.
