Managing Time Spent on Social Media
Sometimes we get bored of the very apps that give us the most entertainment. We’ve all been in bed and switched from TikTok to Instagram because we got tired of the content. Usually, this...
Realizing When to Take A Break
I’m coming up to the home stretch of the year, and for me, that means work is busy this time of year, I’m less than six weeks away from college graduation, along with a booming freelance business that has been very busy with order – on top of a busy social calendar.
