ˏˋ°•*⁀➷ First of all, I am fully aware that using your phone first thing in the morning is a bad habit, but 𝐢𝐟 𝐈'𝐦 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐥𝐮𝐠𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐡 and don't have the motivation to carry out my routine as usual on the weekends, that's the 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈'𝐝 𝐮𝐬𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐝𝐨. . .

𝐂𝐚𝐦, 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐨 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞? (3)

·˚ ༘₊· ͟͟͞͞꒰➳ Well, I'd check for any notifications, messages, or emails I may have received overnight. Once that's over, I 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫-𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐥𝐠𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 until I check the time and realize that I've been 𝐠𝐥𝐮𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫 since I've woken up. The worst part is the reels I watch aren't informative or life-changing in the least bit. They're usually just 𝐝𝐮𝐦𝐛 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐬 like the photo above, and embarrassingly enough, I always catch myself laughing at them. At this point, Gen Z will find anything funny.

chron·i·cal·ly on·line

/ˈkräniklē/ /ˌänˈlīn/

Someone who is 𝐚𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐭, and their entire existence revolves around being on the internet. Chronically online people have no real friends IRL and stay online engaging in useless debates that achieve nothing outside of a screen.

.ೃ࿐ Of course, I know my limits and 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐚𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐬 on the internet, such as 𝐗 (𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐧 𝐚𝐬 𝐓𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫) and 𝐓𝐢𝐤𝐓𝐨𝐤 (Special mention: 𝐀𝐝𝐃𝐔 𝐅𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐬). I dislike these two platforms with a burning passion because they gave me severe 𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐫𝐨𝐭 (the degradation of mental faculties, intelligence, common sense, or moral character), especially back in 2020.

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐚𝐭 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭! (5)

⋆.ೃ࿔*:･ Huzzah! After two months of procrastinating, my motivation bar has fully recharged, and here I am a productive gal. Not really that was an exaggeration. If I'm not lazy, I go on 𝐇𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐝𝐨 and 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐡 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐲 𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐥𝐞. Other than that, I do 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬 such as cleaning my room and folding the laundry. It's a good thing 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 exists to keep me company. . .

ೄྀ࿐ ˊˎ- I'm glad you've asked! 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐜 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐧 𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 and I like to listen to older artists and the rock genre in particular. When I'm working, I like having music playing on 𝐒𝐩𝐨𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐲 in the background (I don't have enough money for a record player yet), and some of these artists typically on repeat are 𝐆𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐳, 𝐌𝐲 𝐂𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐨𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐌𝐮𝐬𝐞, 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐝 𝐁𝐨𝐰𝐢𝐞, 𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐨𝐨𝐝 𝐌𝐚𝐜, 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐭𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐬, and a whole lot more!

༊*·˚ Omg, I love this question! Yes, I do! I'd gladly discuss each of my favorite books in detail, but for now, I'll give you a brief overview of the ones I've included in the photo. My all-time favorite books are:

V for Vendetta by Alan Moore: Amazing graphic novel by the best author I've ever encountered, Alan Moore! I haven't gotten the book yet, but I assume it is just as great as the movie. I mean, what would you expect from such an exceptional author?
Watchmen by Alan Moore (Again): Another comic book by Alan Moore! You can probably tell how much I'm a fan of him by now. This book has changed my life in many ways and is very special because it was my first comic book. It made me appreciate this genre of literature more. Initially, I thought comics were all about superheroes and action, nothing more, nothing less. Oh, how I was wrong. I recommend this book to those wanting to expand their literary interests!
Sandman by Neil Gaiman: Oh, another comic book. I'm not a fan of the Netflix series, but the book is pretty good. Above all that, the art style is what stands out the most!
Animal Farm by George Orwell: Finally, an actual book and a classic author. This book has the most shocking last line. It hits you like a brick.

˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ Nowadays, I watch movies quite often and a few of my favorites are:

Watchmen (2009): Favorite comic book, favorite movie. Loved the soundtrack, especially considering that My Chemical Romance was featued in the credits!
Léon (The Professional) (1994): A bit of a controversial movie, but nonetheless, had a great storyline. Natalie Portman was in it.
V for Vendetta (2006): I LOVED THE MAIN CHARACTER'S COSTUME DESIGN HERE! THE DELIVERY OF HIS MONOLOGUE WAS SO ADDICTING TO WATCH TOO! NATALIE PORTMAN WAS HERE TOO!
The Witch (2015): A folktale horror movie with little to no jumpscares. Atmosphere was highly disturbing. Watch at your own risk.

Why do I like these media? (9)

cslmongcal — 2024-02-09 14:18:33 UTC

⍣ ೋ I love these media because they align with my personality and interests. They've become a crucial part of my identity and help me stand out in today's youth. Through these, I also get to develop my artistic skills. The books inspire me to write creatively and the films help me visualize unique concepts, contributing to an enhanced self-expression. In general, I love these because they aid in my artistic endeavors, as well as my taste in art. They culture my personality and broaden my horizon, guiding me to become the person I strive to be.

How are these media influencing or affecting me? (10)

cslmongcal — 2024-02-09 14:28:04 UTC

˚ ༘♡ ⋆｡˚ As I've previously said, these media shape me into the person I strive to become. They encourage me to embrace the different perspectives of life and make art out of the things people may find taboo. To be honest, the only negative thing that I mentioned here is the memes. Instead of helping me, they drain me and make me procrastinate, which is why I submitted this task at this time. And of course, this isn't healthy. To overcome this bad habit of mine, I must implement more a stricter type of discipline into my daily routine and busy myself with other things that are productive, like reading, doing homework, cleaning, and exploring other interests of mine. To aid this, I've been reading self-help books, such as Atomic Habits, but action is much needed in this case. Aside from that, perhaps I can set schedules for certain apps on my phone, prohibiting me from using them after a specific time. In general, I must practice more self-discipline in terms of the media I consume, especially on Instagram, as it can cause addiction and potentially hinder me from my personal, academic, and overall goals in life.

THX FOR VISITING!
