WEEK 8: 11/3 - 11/9

 I'm writing this while watching the BYU Utah game and honestly, right now I'm thinking about how distracting media can be. It is easy to choose media (tv shows, movies, TikTok, etc) over our responsibilities. On an unrelated note, this week I watched The Intouchables for my international cinema paper due next week. While trying to find a movie to watch, I discovered how many international cinemas are rated R. It feels like majority of international movies are R, and I don't feel the same way about movies in the US. Maybe it was just what I searched or the movies I was looking at, but it was a very common theme I noticed.

WEEK 5: 10/13 - 10/19

With midterm tests and papers this week, I definitely spent a lot more time on my computer and my phone studying than I normally do. I noticed how tired I was at the end of the day after staring at my screens for so long in order to get my papers and studying done. I also struggled a little bit mentally feeling like I didn't have time to give myself a break and scroll TikTok or watch a show. It is safe to say I am glad midterms are over and I am looking forward to having a little bit more free time next week.

WEEK 6: 10/20 - 10/26

I'm going to the ERAS TOUR on Saturday! My sister got tickets last August and I have been looking forward to this concert every single day since. While I am over the moon excited, this week was also filled with quite a bit of stress trying to finish all of my school work and homework before I leave for the concert tomorrow morning. This has also been a slightly heavier week homework-wise for me than usual, so I have been spending extra time on my computer and less time on social media or watching shows. A couple nights ago my roommates and I decided to have a movie night and it was the perfect homework break for me. It reminded me that sometimes taking a break from homework and important things is beneficial for our well-being.
