Social Media + the Lives We Live

Social media has always been a source of enjoyment and despair for me. I love looking into other people’s lives – getting to see how they spend their time, what they love to do, and how they do what they love. I’ve never been fishing but through a screen, I get to see what the experience is like. There are night owls and early birds, there are the athletic and the sedentary and we all have an…

Week 2 Post 2

Seeing how often I check my phone and the amount of time I waste daily was very eye opening for me. My original count for 24 hours was very high. I had almost 7 hours of screen time! Given, that was a day that I didn't have work so I was basically just sitting on my phone. But still that seems very excessive and possibly harmful.

For my experiment I decided to try and go a full 24 hours without using my phone at all. I chose to carry it out on July 1st, the day of the fireworks at my grandmas lake. I knew we would be celebrating all day and thought it would be easy to stay off of my phone.

I started off my morning by turning off my alarm, yes on my phone. I immediately went into my routine of checking my phone, but caught myself pretty quickly. I took a shower and noticed that it lasted about a third of what a regular shower usually lasts. This is definitely due to the fact that I'm usually having a full on concert in the bathroom, trying to pick the best songs and not being able to narrow it down.

After that I headed to my grandmas house to start celebrating. In the car I caught myself looking for my phone multiple times. I think it was more so to know that I had it and hadn't left it at home, because its usually tucked under my leg. But it was in my backpack so that I wouldn't be tempted to check it.

After arriving I was greeting everyone and helping prepare food, during that time I never even thought about my phone. I was present and enjoying the moments with my family. It felt good to not be distracted and trying to split my attention between two things. That lasted about two hours and then I started to wonder if I had any notifications.

I was tempted to check, but for the sake of the experiment I decided not to. I went outside and got in the lake for little bit. I played with my cousins babies for a while to distract myself. But I did catch myself thinking about possible notifications and what if someone needed to get ahold of me, things like that.

We ate dinner and began to light our own little fireworks before the big show began. I wanted to pull my phone out to take some pictures and videos but quickly realized I didn't have it. It started raining and the firework show got canceled so it was time to call it a night. I did check my Lock Screen when I was leaving my grandmas. I saw a lot of notifications that I really wanted to check, but I didn't.

Overall I felt pretty good about the day without technology. I felt very present and was able to actually enjoy the company of the people I was with. I wasn't distracted by the notification buzz, and I was able to give my full focus to whoever was talking. I felt a lot sharper, my brain wasn't fuzzy from staring at a screen. I think I should make it a goal to keep my screen time lower everyday. I think it would help the brain fog, and sleepiness that I battle with.

Killer mode? Rage?

Atari, do you by any chance know what that last post meant?

Wha- Rage? Killer? No, no, there must be some misunderstanding, I never wanted to get angry, I'm not prone to violence, I don't consider myself a murderer-

[TECHCROSS DEACTIVATED, INITIATING TECHBREAKER]

I think you'll want an explanation. This "killer mode" you speak of is something that had been built in, no, forcibly ingrained, Atari Hitotonari's brain by the Earth Defense Command to kill anything and anyone who dares be a threat to the EDC pilot's plans and mindset.

For now, I am a sort of split personality, but I wouldn't call myself that, for I am not an accurate representation of Dissociative Identity Disorder, I am just a bug in the machine, a parasite to its host.

That's all for now. I'm sure you wouldn't want to see me again.

[TECHBREAKER DEACTIVATED, INITIATING TECHCROSS]

Huh-?! What was that? Did I miss something? Oh, bother, I'm such a fool. Gomenasai! I appreciate your question, though, anon!

Take care!

Take A Digital Detox For Better Mental Health

Check out the post on Mental health and self-care in the digital age. We're taking a digital detox refers to taking a break from using digital devices such as smartphones, computers, and social media platforms. Doing so can help improve mental health by reducing stress, improving sleep quality, and increasing mindfulness.

For the next few Sunday’s I’ve decided that I need at least one day to stay away from social media. It’s going to be my time to embrace life without always having to capture the moment for online presentation. This weekend I’d like no distractions from reading the news, social media, Netflix, or emails. I have a book in mind, and I’ve been excited to start it’s called “Awakening the Buddha Within” by Lama Surya Das. But I’ve been putting it off because I waste time on social media instead of reading/ doing things I love. What can I say we all do this! It’s a place of distraction that sometimes takes us away from our current thoughts, dull job stress, or how we feel about ourselves/situations. It helps us stay distracted. So this Sunday I don’t want to be multi tasking on social media, and emails! I want to dive into a few good books. Let myself be immersed in some pages instead of scrolling Instagram etc! So wish me luck I’m excited to try this! Thanks to @vega_team for helping motivate me to try no social media Sunday! This will be the first of many I know it. I challenge all of you to try it out for yourself if you feel like you need a break! I wish you love light and all the luck! #nosocialmediasunday #vega #wellnesswonderwomanlife #nosocialsunday #wellness #techbreak #reading #instabreak #goals2018 #wonderwoman #break #sunday #meditation #ecofriendly

What I've Learned From March 2020

What I’ve Learned From March 2020

This last month has been so strange and it has taught me a lot as our lives turn into the quarantine rhythm. At the beginning of the month, I was so excited about spring break and I had one more week to get through in order to get to rest. When spring break got interrupted, I had to learn new routines and to adjust to the new reality. And I learned a few things.

  Expect the unexpected

How can we use technology in a way that allows us the benefits of learning and connection, without feeling totally addicted and distracted? . Tech breaks can help us break a cycle, but ultimately, we usually need to return. . What if we found healthier ways to interact with technology in our day-to-day, instead of needing to shut it down completely? .

Hey, girls! First of all, it's been a long while since y'all posted. How's everything over there? Second of all, did something special happen over there? Perhaps any confessions to the ones you loved? Or is that just it?

And also, just to be a bit off-topic, in typical "ask [BLANK] this" fashion, if you girls are in a musical, what musical would you perform in?

Shaoshao here, allow me to address some things that happened behind the scenes while answering both the first and second questions, saving the third and final question for Marissa to answer. So, firstly, Hanenohara is on a hiatus, meaning we're on a hiatus, hence the lack of posting on here. Mostly because Hanenohara is out of her *ahem* "Transformers phase" and currently in "other fandoms", which also explains the emptiness of it all.

Secondly, no love confessions have been made, as of yet. In actuality, we're currently investigating Atari's supposed identity switch, or to put it, her possible case of Dissociative Identity Disorder, or D.I.D. for short, or something else entirely. Basically, her switch between Techcross and "Techbreaker", occuring when in her Transformer form. We have yet to uncover what is going on with her, and have yet to find a way to help her through what looked to be a painful process, but we'll just have to see for ourselves.

Anyways! Marissa here! To answer the third question, personally, for me, I'd be in Legally Blonde, because, well, Elle Woods slays (she ate and left no crumbs), and I would love to play as her. But for ALL of us, that's kind of tricky, because Shaoshao, Atari, and I have our own things, and some of them often clash. If it's an energetic musical that requires a lot of effort in both vocals and choreography, I'd be fit for the task, but not so much for the others who could do one thing or the other, but not both at the same time. But aside from Legally Blonde, I also like Beetlejuice. Whaddaya think, Shao? Would you perform in Beetlejuice with me?

With you as Barbara and me as Adam?

Sure! We can do that! If given the chance...

Alright, very well. We can do that. Who would be Lydia and the titular Beetlejuice then?

And there, the two girls continue to talk about castings and fancastings for musicals they like, including Beetlejuice.

Now you might be wondering, "Is Atari okay? Where is she? What happened to her?!" Don't worry, she's currently being checked up on by Ratchet and other Cybertronian medics, trying to figure out if it's a bug/parasite implanted by the EDC, as Techbreaker said they were, or if it's indeed a mental disorder.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN!
