Social media is one of the most consistent forms of entertainment for the vast majority of us. We aimlessly scroll through timelines to keep up with friends, family, and even celebrities. It’s also how a good portion of people stay up to date on world events since headlines on IG posts can provide information quicker than traditional news outlets. Content creators and regular, degular people are going viral each day for funny, informative, or touching content that resonates with the masses.

You can think of songs like tiny, personal time capsules that get released each time we press play. Every song that’s on repeat in your library is building a nostalgic feeling that you won’t experience until some years down the road.

And with that much content to read, we are pretty much locked in for years. We read at a decent pace, but we definitely don’t like speed reading. Back in my day, I had a competition going with myself to read books as fast as possible. I loved getting new books but knew that to buy a new one, I had to finish one.

Back in middle and high school, I was big into reading. I would race to finish a book just to get to the next book in my collection. I was indeed the epitome of a book nerd. I kept every single book and I didn’t crack the spines unnecessarily. My favorite series of all time is the Jessica Darling series. I initially loved it because the main character’s name was Jessica, but then I quickly fell in love with the actual story and the plot.
