I’m sure we can all agree when I say TikTok has me in a chokehold. It’s definitely my most used social media app, or most used app in general. Though I should probably rethink how much time I spend there, there’s one type of video I’ve seen a bunch of recently and can’t stop watching: “day-in-my-life” videos.
As a teenage girl, seeing other girls’ routines and schedules is so fun. It’s given me a sense of peace to see what other people are doing and a sense of community between other girls my age. It has also inspired me to switch up some aspects of my routine and try new things.
New habits are always something that I am trying to incorporate into my routine because it can’t hurt to spice up your life a little. With school getting stressful, finding new things to make me happy, little or big, is always an important part of self-care. Going to the gym when you’re feeling down, stopping by a store on the way home, or exploring a new study spot are all great things to make each and every day special. Or even little things like making a different breakfast or walking a different way to class can make a day stand out.
So here are some of my favorite day-in-my-life videos that I’ve seen:
This girl lives in NYC and I’m so jealous! She went to the gym right in the morning, which is so motivating for me. Factoring in more time to workout is something I want to work towards. But she also made time for shopping and going out with some friends.

First of all, the room decor!! So cute! I’m using it as inspo. Her calendar on her iPad is so colorful, I need to do that ASAP.

First things first, I love Josie. I’ve watched her YouTube for years, so I love seeing her videos on TikTok too. I like how she makes her bed first thing in the morning, that’s something I need to do more often. Her taking time to get chores done and knock out homework inspires me. And still making time for getting outside and moving her body.

This girl woke up EARLY, so props to her. And she made such a good-looking breakfast, then took lots of pictures of the leaves on her way to and from class (sooo relatable). She went to the gym and even added her gym playlist! And lastly, she made a to-do list for the next day. Holding yourself accountable is such an important step to making the most of the day.

I think this is my favorite tik tok ever. The pictures, the little doodles and writing, and a totally normal, but somehow special day-in-the-life.

Hope you enjoyed looking through these tiktoks as much as I did! And maybe one day I’ll finally put together one of my own – I always take the pictures, but never get around to it. Maybe I’ll add it to my to-do list tomorrow!
