Still exploring the tentacles of social media's cancer, yesterday was about 'checking in.' Why is that something we want to do? I went to the beauty school where I go to the clinic to get my hair done and the impulse to check in happened.
Is the impulse to check in to foster the belief that people give a shit where you are and what you're doing? Is it a backdoor brag about my frugality or the genius implied by making use of this amazing resource? I mean a cut and color costs $30 and I've never had a bad experience. No matter how unskilled the student is, the teacher is there to teach or takeover if necessary. No idea what the cost is in private salons but definitely in the hundreds and when you go every six weeks or so, that adds up.
Or is checking in just to feel connected to others by acknowledging each other's daily activities?
