It’s a new day of documenting my media use, and today’s regime has been very similar to yesterday’s. Today I woke up and checked my notifications, responding to a few Snapchats and liking the posts that I have been tagged in on Facebook. Today was my day off, so I decided to log onto Netflix and indulge in some ‘Bates Motel’.
I sent out a Snapchat of this to my friends and ended up having a conversation with my best friend about what episode he was up to and how shocking the season final had been. The picture included my laptop with a screen-cap of the episode as well as a cup of tea on my lap.
I sent out that Snapchat in order to let the people whom I frequently communicate with know that I finally had a day off after what felt like decades, and I was absolutely and without a doubt enjoying it in the laziest way possible. I’m beginning to notice that it feels really strange explaining why I do certain things on social media, because I’ve never really given much thought as to why I do them, I simply just do. They’ve effortlessly become automatic processes that are apart of my day and every day life now.
