It's finished, I survived, and I'm here to tell you all about it. Some of the days are missing don't worry, I know, it's exam time.
I first started this challenge because I needed a mental break from my social media, especially tiktok. This is my last year of school and I need to be real focused so that's a plus.
I deleted all my social media apps except WhatsApp, YouTube and Pinterest. So, Instagram, Snap, Wattpad, Facebook, Twitter and Tiktok was gone.
Deleting the apps were not hard and the first couple days without the apps were fun. I was more aware of my surrounding, I paid more attention to my body and unfortunately I found other unnecessary stuff to do instead of listening when I am in my classes.
I started using my tablet (the device I had at the time) less I even go to the store without it. With the limitations I put on YouTube, Facebook and Pintrest I spend a maximum 1hr 40mins on my tablet compared to my previous 7 + hours.
When I purchased my phone about a week ago things got a but interesting. I now have a smaller device so I can take it everywhere, its a brand new phone so all I wanted to do is download stuff.
My device time bumped up by an hour because I downloaded a game. I redownloaded all of my social media platforms but I did not login. Which was by far the stupidest thing I could have done because all I would want to do is just click on the stupid icon.
The time spent off my phone showed me how I probably looked on a daily. I went to face to face school and I am constantly hearing tiktok songs, someone is making a tiktok , someone is scrolling through tiktok, someone is on insta, that girl has been taking snaps and no one is having an actual conversation.
It was so awkward when I was the only one without these things but it was also an interesting experience. Sometimes my friends would mention some of the stuff happening online and I couldn't believe how fast everything was changing.
Even though you won't know everything what's happening virtually I 100% recommend this challenge. It was a rest well needed for me. As I type this it's 2 days before the challenge is officially finished and I am gonna post some of my accumulated pictures today, thank you all for following me through this.
I'm not the most interesting person but I hope you laughed at least once and you share my posts with others.
