Forget school…
Ever since the corona virus hit, I have been, obviously, stuck at home. Which is great and all since I get to see my dog and my family, but I get nothing done when I’m back at my parent’s house. Well, nothing in terms of school work; the amount of Netflix and Tik Tok I’ve managed to watch is actually quite amazing. Since my productivity levels are low, my life has been consumed with videos and Animal Crossing- multi-tasking the two of course. I’m not satisfied with the way I’m spending time but I have no motivation to do otherwise.

Watch me throw it back
Strangely, I do feel the urge to learn every new TikTok dance/trend that I scroll past. I’m no Tiktoker- I don’t bite my lips nor stick out my tongue is some weird seductive manner- but I think I can hit a half decent “woah”. TikTok is a social media app owned by a Chinese internet company called ByteDance and has a value of $75 billion. This makes sense since I run into ads pretty often in the app. It still feels a little bit cringey to be a 20-year-old using TikTok but I promise I’m not making any videos… or at least not posting them.
Good morning, bakers!
Aside from TikTok, another video platform I indulge in is Netflix. I can spend all day watching The Great British Baking Show and still get surprised by how dumb some bakers can be. Like Nadia, how the heck are you going to start another puff pastry from scratch when you only have an hour of time left. I can’t bake, but I like to imagine that if I was in the show, I would definitely know to put sesame seeds on the outside of the bread and not the inside. Other than the face-slapping moments, The Great British Baking Show is so wholesome and a great distraction from the mess the world is in.
