Your Feed, Your Show
A friend sends you a DM, you pick up your phone, and before you know it, you’re deep in a reel marathon. Five reels later, you’ve forgotten your assignment, your deadlines, accidentally joined BookTok, and are crying over fictional men. Suddenly, it’s 2 am and you’re wondering how you’re going to drag yourself to the 8 am class. Next thing you know, TikTok’s asking, “Still watching?” And you’re like absolutely yes. Welcome to the rabbit hole that is reels, where every scroll feels like a plot twist.
The days of sitting through full episodes are gone. Now it’s all about 30-second short, scrollable moments served perfectly curated for you on Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok. We’re talking about those hyper-specific memes that call you out by name and a stranger’s morning routines that make you feel a tad bit motivated. Reels are mini snapshots of dream lives, weird humor, and chaotic energy. They start trends and give you a crash course on everything from skincare to conspiracy theory, all in under a minute.
Reels respect your attention span; in 30 seconds or less, you can laugh, cry, or even rethink your life choices before your morning coffee gets cold. It’s the dopamine rush your brain craves. Some people bond over coffee, but you, you bond over TikTok reposts. It starts with a scroll, you see something, and instantly hit the repost button. Your phone buzzes, your best friend reposts that same post, and the cycle continues. It’s your low-key love language.
Reels are your personalized digital scrapbook filled with 15-second clips that don’t fail to make you laugh. It may have taken away your free time, but deep down, you love it.
