Social media has been taking over my entire life lately. Between school and work, all I do is stare at my phone screen for hours and hours on end. It’s seriously a problem. It’s gotten so bad to the point where I’ve been getting headaches and dizziness from looking at my phone screen for so long. Yikes.
I thought my headaches were a result of caffeine withdrawal symptoms, or even dehydration, but no. It’s from the lack of sleep I’ve been experiencing due to my inability to get off TikTok. I’m ASHAMED. But I can’t fix it. Dear god, help me.
My sense of humor is so broken that I now find a video of a Spider-man action figure being bathed in a sink and later being thrown across the room (in slow motion, may I add) absolutely hilarious. I feel the need to send it to everyone. It’s not funny in the slightest. Tiktok has torn any brain cells I had left to shreds.
Now that I mentioned that video, I feel the urge to mention the TikToks that I have not been able to stop thinking about.
•The one where a girl takes a whiff of a paint can and claims to turn into Albert Einstein and has a green screen video of her dancing on top of the formula E=mc^2.
•The one where a guy says to the camera “Everyone keeps saying ‘Are your freckles real? Are your freckles real? It looks like an Instagram filter. Well, here it is!’” and the rest of the video is him rubbing his face while screaming. Why is it funny? I don’t know.
•Lastly, any of the TikToks that say a music artists name in English Google Translate and then have the same artist in French Google Translate and then having stereotypical French music play in the background with a photoshopped mustache, beret, and baguette. Truly terrible content.
I’m embarrassed.
