twitter – Girl Meets The World of Media

I thought my media consumption while I was still on campus was bad. It’s worse under quarantine.

Basically my daily routine nowadays. (GIF: blaisems on Reddit | GIPHY)

While I was on campus, I was constantly busy, so I didn’t spend too much time on my phone. In fact, the week that USC announced the *first* extension of online classes, I only spent roughly 3 hours on my phone daily.

But as soon as I returned home, I started spending, on average, 5-6 hours on my phone daily – twice the time!

My daily average time spent on my phone. This time increased starting Thursday when I went home for spring break.
My daily average time on my phone over spring break. (Double the week before!)

Still, my media consumption habits themselves haven’t really changed. I heavily use social media. My news consumption is still minimal, although the COVID-19 situation compels me to pay closer attention now.
