On the busiest of days, filled with classes, meetings and hangouts, my phone screen time is still around three or four hours. How is it possible that I spend about a fourth of my waking hours on my phone? How would my overall screen time add up if I also accounted for the time spent on my laptop?

Russia invaded Ukraine on Feb. 24 Eastern European Standard Time, and, as per usual, Twitter went crazy. Suddenly, everyone was either an expert on international relations or was spreading false narratives about the conflict — especially those extremely distanced from it. One Ukraine native took to Twitter to criticize the people who were “coping” with the thought of World War III while others’ lives were and are still in danger.

The TikTok trend of people showing what they looked like before the COVID-19 pandemic versus what they look like now lives rent-free on my For You page. It’s a daily reality check that reminds me we’ve been enduring this thing for almost two years.

In September 2021, one of my mom’s best friends passed away. Only three months later, her other best friend passed. Though I didn’t feel anything close to the pain she felt and continues to feel, her sadness still trickled my way.
