Today is day 1 of not using social media.
I'm so addicted to social media that
the first thing that I do when I wake up is check my Twitter
check my Instagram, check Youtube,
and because I wasn't able to that in the morning,
I didn't really have motivation to wake up,
and actually get out of bed.
So, I ended up sleeping in today.
The reason I'm doing this is because I realised that
my days could be so much more productive
if I didn't have social media
because I spend so much time on Twitter
I don't really have much to do other than study.
I'm gonna study biochem today.
I'm like extremely bored right now.
I guess I'll just like show you guys around my apartment.
Technically, this isn't my apartment.
This is my parents' place.
I'm only here over the summer and winter [breaks].
But yeah, I guess I'll just show you guys around very quickly.
because I have nothing else to do with my life.
This is my room.
My ARMY bomb is just chilling right here.
This is from when I won prom queen.
I peaked in high school.
This is an empty bottle of holy water.
MCAT study guides...
my valedictorian medal from high school
I peaked in high school.
This is how I film my study time lapses.
I literally tape my phone to this thing.
and then I turn on the lights here.
and I study.
Isn't this genius?
Not really.
There's nothing really special here.
my makeup palettes,
I have a bunch of falsies that I never wear
because I don't like wearing false lashes
but I didn't know that back when I bought all these.
Here is my closet.
Then, right next to my bedroom, there's my parents' bedroom.
This room is pretty empty.
I think they're gonna put like a coffee table here or something.
And the there's also a closet here
that I won't go into
This is a bathroom.
Not really going to go into that, either.
Let's go down here.
This is the living room area.
That's me.
That's me and my sister.
That's also me.
That's me and my sister.
That's me.
Wait, is this me? Oh no, this is not me.
This is my sister.
Where am I?
Wait, is that me?
Oh no, okay, that's not me.
This is me.
That's my sister.
There's another smaller bathroom.
And then, this is the kitchen area.
And then, if you go down another flight of stairs.
We have our laundry machines.
We also have a freezer here.
This is my dad's office area.
I brought out this box.
It's like my little memory box.
I haven't opened it in like 2 years.
I'm not gonna show you guys everything.
cuz a lot of these things are pretty personal,
but this is the first thing I see.
2017 prom caricature.
Okay, let's start reading these letters.
Oh, boy.
I don't think this is gonna be a good time.
[Cue sad music]
[tears up]
This is just a list of everyone's superlative,
and mine was "most likely to be at HMart dressed like a fashionista".
"Your obsession with HMart is slightly concerning."
"You're irresistibly cute with the slightest hint of creepy."
Why do I have this?
I'm literally not even in these pictures. What?
Dude, I literally look the same and this was 2011.
This is the autograph that I got from Song Joong Ki.
(reading my 8th grade diary)
Guys, I'm scared.
Jan 22, 2013.
[I'm not me.]
What does this mean?
I'm gonna write in my diary.
I haven't written in this diary since 4-5 years ago?
I'm just gonna write a message down to my middle school self.
One of my subscribers published her own book of poems.
She actually sent me two copies, so
I think I'm gonna keep one copy and put one of them in a
What's it called? Little free library?
Where you put in one book and you take one book.
I think that's what it's called.
Update on the no social media thing.
I'm so tempted to redownload Twitter and check
This is so hard.
I need my daily dose of BTS.
This is so bad.
I didn't really tell my friends that I was going on a social media detox,
so there are probably a few people waiting for me to reply to their DMs.
Oops?
These pages smell really good.
(I couldn't find a book I wanted to read, so I just put mine in)
So, it's the end of day1.
I worried that if I got off social media,
I would feel very disconnected from the world
because I usually get all of my information about
what's going on in society through Twitter,
through Instagram, through social media, right?
but if anything, it feels nice to not have to get updates on everything.
I was able to fall asleep pretty quickly last night.
Usually I spend hours in my bed on my phone.
but since I had nothing to do on my phone
I just slept.
I feel like this challenge is pointless because
Once the 3 days are over,
I'm probably gonna go back and spend more time on social media.
I don't even know where this video is going.
There's a dead fly.
I'm going to go to the library today and study and get work done.
(Apparently the library closes at 6pm, so I got kicked out)
(I'm awkwardly waiting for my dad to pick me up at HomeGoods lol)
My parents' 25 anniversary cake
Hi, guys.
I came back from the library,
I ate dinner, I took a shower, and here I am.
I don't think today I suffered as much as I did yesterday
in terms of the no social media thing.
I still do habitually check my phone periodically.
The biggest difference in my lifestyle
is that my days feel significantly longer
because I'm not spending so much time on my phone anymore.
I feel like because it's summer break and I have so much free time,
I've been spending a lot of time on social media just because I can.
Usually, during the school year, I won't be able to spend this much time
on social media just scrolling through Twitter.
I think this video is helping me get back on track.
It's hard to go from one extreme to another,
spending my whole day on social media to
being too busy to not keep up with stuff.
It's a good transition step for me.
Did that make any sense?
I'm pretty tired right now,
so I think I'm just gonna call it a day early.
Hi, guys. Today's the next day
I had a very late start to my day. I woke up past noon.
I think I'm just gonna spend the rest of my day editing a video
and responding to business emails etc.
I have my purple sweet potato smoothie.
I read somewhere that if you make a smoothie right after you wake up,
then you're more likely to spend a more productive day.
I don't even know if that's true, but...
(editing intro of this video)
(I have no idea what I'm doing in this clip but I look focused)
My dad's iPad came in the mail,
and I thought I would show you how satisfying this is.
Okay, that's it. Bye.
it's the end of the day
so I'm just gonna go ahead and redownload all of my social media.
While that's downloading, I'm going to share my thoughts
on the past 3 days without social media.
It was nice while it lasted, but
I also can't wait to go back on Twitter.
In a YouTuber standpoint,
I think it was a break that was very much needed for me.
I do check comments.
I also do check my view counts on certain videos.
I check my subscriber count.
I check those at least once a day, which
is probably not the healthiest habit to have.
Going 3 days without having to worry about any numbers
was refreshing and much needed.
Also, in terms of the comments,
sometimes I'll read a hate comment and
that will kill my mood for the entire day,
so it was nice not having to deal with hate comments over the 3 days.

(watching JK's rap in Ddaeng)
Okay, well,
That was it for this video,
Thanks for watching until the end,
I'll see you in my next one.
