Social Media Boredom

Before this pandemic and social distancing I found myself randomly scrolling through social media during down time but now that I have nothing to do I find that it can’t keep up with my down time. When we were first put in quarantine the memes and gifs were funny. Seeing multiple posts about how nothing has changed because that’s all I do anyways. Then as time has gone by I find these less comical because I do not think that I have ever been this bored. It’s almost like every time I get on any of the sites it’s just more of the same no matter how much time has passed. I find myself switching from Instagram to Tik-Tok then to Facebook. Every day slowly losing my mind a little more with every switch. To ease some of the boredom I first switched to news popping up on my apple news feed. Contradicting news stories mixed with false reports on a magical cure that was used to cure Malaria. I got to the point where I just couldn’t take it anymore. I have now switched to viewing a massive amount of Netflix shows but I’m waiting for the second season of Netflix to come out. I hear that’s not how it works though…Luckily there are other options like Hulu. If this quarantine continues for too much longer I will be forced to subscribe to more and more online streaming services. These have become my only source of entertainment at this point. Before all of this happened I would use sports news to waste time and now most sports news has come to a screeching halt. With all sports being delayed or canceled with the pandemic their is not much news to report. I can only hope that by the time the NFL season starts this will all be a thing of the past.
