I opened TikTok and scrolled through the app, something that I gravitate toward when I have the day off. I stumble upon videos about ab workouts that tone and define your core. I reposted a video talking about Ariana Grande teasing a new album despite in the process of starting her eternal sunshine tour. This could completely be misinformation and simply not true at all but I made no effort to actually fact check what was said, I simply read a few comments and reposted it. I believe this is mainly delusion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"587\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"39\" src=\"https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8737-2-587x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8737-2-587x1024.jpg 587w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8737-2-172x300.jpg 172w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8737-2-768x1341.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8737-2-880x1536.jpg 880w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8737-2-1173x2048.jpg 1173w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8737-2.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 587px) 100vw, 587px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"585\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"37\" src=\"https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8738-2-585x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-37\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8738-2-585x1024.jpg 585w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8738-2-172x300.jpg 172w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8738-2-768x1343.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8738-2-878x1536.jpg 878w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8738-2-1171x2048.jpg 1171w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8738-2.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"647\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"38\" src=\"https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8739-1-647x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-38\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8739-1-647x1024.jpg 647w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8739-1-190x300.jpg 190w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8739-1-768x1215.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8739-1-971x1536.jpg 971w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8739-1-1295x2048.jpg 1295w, https:\/\/kerrydaculiat.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/IMG_8739-1.jpg 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 647px) 100vw, 647px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-nowrap is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-6c531013 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p>8:50am \u2014 I woke up again after falling asleep from watching TikTok\u2019s. I check my emails. I start reading up on master\u2019s programs that I can do with a degree in Digital Audiences. There was one that caught my eye, Gonzaga University.

I use their mobile app and I joined their bonus 15 stars reward for ordering a blonde vanilla latte once. I scroll through their front page and stumble upon the Secret Poster Refresher. It\u2019s a Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary secret menu special.

I come across some bell peppers going bad, one with signs of mold and I debate with my boyfriend about being able to use the bell peppers. He argues that as long as you cut it off and don\u2019t cross contaminate with the knife, it\u2019s safe to eat. However, I\u2019m just simply not a fan of the idea even if it is safe to eat. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foodnetwork.com\/healthyeats\/healthy-tips\/how-do-you-know-when-to-toss-or-keep-moldy-foods\">So we look it up.<\/a>&nbsp;We cut around the mold but decided to toss the bell peppers after seeing the fuzzy mold inside the peppers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"I\u2019m Working At A Corner Store\u2026 (Part 1)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4Lbwi0gkqts?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>11:15am \u2014 We eat our meal and put on the anime, Jujutsu Kaisen. We wrapped up our rerun of season 1 and take a nap.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>12:45pm \u2014 We get up and head to the gym for our push day. My source of media are my Spotify playlists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3:00pm \u2014 We start to prep for dinner which was a pesto pasta. I took inspiration from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/t\/ZP8bnhHHG\/\">Tini<\/a> and followed her version of a creamy pesto pasta but I added other ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-default\">6:25pm \u2014 After dinner, we started playing the co-op game of A Way Out. We got to a scene where the characters are climbing up a vertical space to escape the prison. It\u2019s a technique called chimneying.&nbsp;Upon seeing this in the game, I doubted how realistic this move was. However, I&#8217;ve seen many rock climbers who utilize this technique to climb up tricky, narrow sections. It still fascinates me that it is possible to do with a partner and not just solo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"A Way Out - Escape Chapter - Wall Climbing\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ai-haQhT_XY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>8:00pm \u2014 I read for about 30 minutes, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/43352954-this-is-how-you-lose-the-time-war\"><em>This is how you lose the time war<\/em> by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone<\/a>, before heading to bed by 8:30pm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Analysis:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This particular day, I did not stumble upon many questionable contents. A lot of the things I do question are workouts that are actually beneficial for you, where I go on a deep dive of what workouts to consider incorporating with my routine.&nbsp; There are a lot of fitness influencers on the app that say contradicting information and it\u2019s really important to do your research with topics like these. One thing that was misinformation was the Hannah Montana drink that Starbucks pushed out for the 20th anniversary. This collaboration just seems like it lacked actual research about what Hannah Montana dislikes and what drink truly encapsulates who Hannah Montana is. As a consumer who liked Hannah Montana, I would not feel inclined to support a product that lacked proper thought behind their ideas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Something that I have noticed, and what you may have picked up on, is that even if something is false, I will repost it on my TikTok page. I did not bother to do my own research regarding the AG8 album that is possibly coming. I blindly followed the couple of videos that talked about AG8 and the comments I saw that mentioned seeing it. I believed it. I think fact-checking is important but it is not something that I will do for every single thing that stumbles on my feed. If it is highly questionable, I will do my own research about the topic. Things like health, politics, world issues, etc. are on this list. For things like a possible AG8 album in the works of being released, it is not something that I will go out of my way to research deeply. Seeing a couple videos on it and comments agreeing with the video are all I care to see about. If it gets proven wrong later down the line, then that is okay with me. It is not a detrimental thing. Debating whether it\u2019s safe to eat a contaminated food is a good example of doing your own research. People tend to listen to people due to their relationships, however, it is always best to make your own informed decision by doing your own research and choosing what is best for you. While it was completely okay for my boyfriend and I to consume the contaminated bell pepper, backed by my own research and his knowledge of it, I consciously made my own informed decision only after I had fact-checked his knowledge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24-hour Media Diet This assignment runs through what my media intake is like throughout a Saturday.
