I decided to participate in a challenge where I would force myself to try a new experience every day for a month. My challenge is No social media for 7 days. No posting on Facebook, no checking out on Instagram, no random rants on my Twitter page.
How times flies! Taking a 7-day break from social media had a stunning impact on my life. My morning ritual had changed from waking up and checking all social media, to only checking Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The first day wasn’t so bad when I stopped using social media. I deactivated all of my accounts, all apps were removed on my phone. And, I felt freedom without social media. Day 2 was a drag. I got bored in the afternoon and had no idea what to do. After that, I decided to cook and clean up my room. In the evening, I walked around Troy campus with my friend. He realized my disappearance on social media. He said that even if he doesn’t see me one day, he still knows what did I do because I’m always share something on Facebook. When I told him the reason why I did that, he totally agreed with my decision. My brain was going crazy on the third day which was on Wednesday, I miss my Facebook so much. I decided to make a coffee and read a book. I chose “ The Witcher: The last wish ” which was written by Andrzej Sapkowski. In the next three days, I still spent time reading that book. Due to reading a book, I totally forgot about social media.
After one week, I turn on my social media account again because I need to keep in touch with my family. And I realize I can do a lot of thing without using social media all the time.
