What media platforms did you use most often during the pandemic? Were these different media than you typically use? How did they help you cope with the events of 2020 and beyond?

The media platforms I used the most during the pandemic were Instagram and Snapchat. These platforms were not different than the typical media platforms that I use. It’s just I ended up using them more during the pandemic. I think I was on social media 24/7 during the pandemic because that was the only thing you could do when you were forced to stay inside. Another media platform I used more during the pandemic was Tik Tok. I think was on Tik Tok for hours at a time. It truly was addicting and still can be. All of these platforms helped me cope with 2020 in different ways. Snapchat helped me stay in touch with my friends. TikTok kept a smile on my face and stayed up to date with the new trends. Instagram also kept me up to date on everything. It also was the most interesting because all the celebrities were getting on Instagram live and having little talk shows, and that is literally how I got the idea to start my own show. I still use the apps to this day, but I wouldn’t say they have helped me cope. I think they have honestly just made me not like social media as much as I did before. Now I feel like people live their life through a screen.
