We have all been there – you are in bed after a long day of class, working out, socializing, and whatever else a busy college day brings, and you open up your favorite social media app of choice. The usual suspects are Tiktok and Instagram, though almost all entertainment apps these days can occupy more of our time than we would like. Before you know it, it is past your bedtime and you have been “doom scrolling” for longer than you would probably like to admit.
