I Spent How Much Time Doing WHAT!?
It’s the time of the year where your social feeds show everyone’s Spotify Wrapped. I’ll admit that it’s pretty cool. It’s so cool that every app and it’s mother does it now. I’ve listened to 660 hours of podcasts this year. I’ve listened to 2238 minutes of JHAYCO’s music (since July cause that’s when I switched to Apple Music). I’ve also, apparently, played Vampire Survivors 206 times this year.
This is a good time of year to think back and go, “What the fuck am I doing with my life!?” I spent a day and half listening to one specific artist??? This is sad.
The hustle culture would shame me for wasting my life in ways not “chasing dat paper”, but we need to sit back and relax from time to time. I don’t know if that means 838 game sessions, but damn reader, let me live!
More importantly than disappointing our hustle bros from instagram, is how do they get all that information.
Every app we use tracks EVERY...LITTLE...THING...WE...DO...AT...ALL...TIMES!
It’s fun when they share it with us to give us this fun little package. The problem is what are they doing with all that data throughout the year. I don’t want to rain on your annual reflections, so I’m here to give you more. Reader, here’s your Lattepunk Wrapped:
DAMN READER!!! Thank you for committing so much of your free time reading my silly little newsletter/blog/diary! I truly appreciate it!
Obviously I didn’t do that for you...this year. But seriously, of the limited time you get in your life, thank you for spending some of it reading my nonsense.
I’m taking the rest of the year off. I’m currently behind three homework assignments so that’s how I’m going to spend my holidays. I got one more month of this damn class, then I promise...PROMISE...I’m giving you my full attention again reader.
