How would life be without social media? I’m interested in this topic because I feel like now everything revolves around social media. It’s become a big part of everyone’s life, from kids to old people. People spend a lot of time on social media platforms when they could be doing something productive. However, for some people it can be beneficial so they can promote their business and get it out there. I personally don’t own any social media anymore because it would distract me and I found it kinda toxic so I decided not to have any, plus I forgot all my passwords to them. I definitely feel left out sometimes and I miss the memes but my friends still send them to me. During my research I want to know if somehow social media has made our friendships and relationships stronger or weaker. I expect to find whether social media caused many divorces or if it was the fact that it was normalized throughout the years. I expect to learn how social media affects people mentally. I know it does affect us somehow because social media puts up an image in our head that we believe is real but sometimes it’s not. However, maybe it depends on the person, if they let what they see in social media affect them or not. I expect to find that businesses wouldn’t have the same success as they do now if social media didn’t exist because I know many of them use it to advertise their products. I want to know if we would be able to survive without it and if so what would the differences be from how we’re living now? I think that somehow time would go slower if that makes sense, since there would be no social media then we would spend less time on our phones and more time living in the moment. I expect to learn some cool fun facts about this topic. If I find information that goes completely against what I had expected to find then I’ll probably get social media again hah. I would definitely still write about it to show how social media is not just toxic and that there’s a fun side to it, like funny videos and memes. I would still research it to educate myself and everyone on this topic. Maybe by doing this research it would change people’s perspectives about social media in a god or bad way. 

As a kid I was interested in math. I’m still interested in it. Asking questions helped me learn about this topic because it helped me to see if I was doing the math correctly. For some reason I always liked math and even during the school break I would like to give myself math questions and answer them. I would practice my multiplication tables right before going to sleep. That’s how much I enjoyed math. I would also like taking math tests and quizzes to see how much I knew. The educational system played a big role in my curiosity because that’s where I learned all the math I know now. But when I would struggle I wouldn’t really like to ask for help so I would search up Youtube videos about the topic. Youtube helped me a lot because the videos were short and way easier to understand. Throughout the years math kept getting difficult but I still enjoyed it and it was always my favorite subject. However, now that I’m taking no math classes I haven’t really done any math and I haven’t been interested in it. As of now I would say I have no interest in anything specific, like I have a lot of interests but I don’t act on them. I just have small interests like learning Japanese and learning how to crochet. I got interested in learning Japanese because I have a dream of living in Japan and obviously I would need to know how to speak it plus it’ll be easier to understand anime. I’ve been trying to learn by using doulingo. I want to learn how to crochet because I want to make cute tops and hats. I have already bought the yarn and the hooks. I tried and it was so complicated for me but I’ll keep trying. I am also using YouTube as a source to help me learn.
