There has been considerable discussion among netizens regarding this study influencer. Many have pointed out that her daily routine seems quite unnatural and self-indulgent. For instance, instead of following a more conventional schedule like sleeping at 11 PM and waking at 7 AM, she insists on going to bed at 9 PM and rising at 4 AM.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, viewers have noticed that she tends to focus on low-efficiency, easily achievable tasks, such as copying English words repeatedly or handwriting five full pages of notes for a driver\u2019s license theory test\u2014which she still haven\u2019t&nbsp;pass&nbsp;yet. Her content has sparked unnecessary anxiety among many who feel pressured by her performative productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This situation recalls many study vlogs I watched before. At first, those videos were super motivating, especially when I was struggling before exams. After watching countless vlogs, I emerged with the thought of trying to imitate their routines, to have as productive and varied a day as they did. However, I always failed to finish as many tasks as they did; instead, I also spent lots of time preparing for my \u201cefficient study\u201d\u2014like lighting a candle, making a study drink before studying, and correcting my notes to make them look neater\u2026 I felt disappointed and ashamed at how inefficient I was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a time, I wanted to figure out how those study influencer did to be self disciplined. But when I look through carefully on those videos, I found something unnormal: those carefully crafted timelines in study videos are often &nbsp;unrealistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 the scenes showing the blogger waking up are usually staged. They have to set up their camera in advance, often from multiple angles, and act out waking up for the video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 capturing different shots requires them to constantly adjust and move their camera equipment, which disrupts the natural flow of work and adds an artificial layer to the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 before starting any activity\u2014whether it\u2019s reading, writing, or even making coffee\u2014they need to press the record button, making every action intentionally performative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4 many viewers have pointed out inconsistencies in the videos. For example, the time displayed on clocks sometimes doesn\u2019t match the timeline described in the subtitles. It\u2019s also unrealistic to believe someone can complete such a large amount of work in such a short period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5 Most importantly, we often forget that producing a high-quality vlog is extremely time-consuming. This means that although the videos appear to showcase efficient productivity, the creator may actually be spending more time filming and editing than actually studying or working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While these videos can be motivating for some, some of them often creates pressure and anxiety among viewers who compare their own routines to these seemingly perfect\u2014and largely artificial\u2014schedules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I remix lots of study vlog together present a seems perfect morning routine merely focus on how many tasks have been done rather the efficiency and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While using those video clips to satire \u201cstudy with me\u201d tend, I am not wish to criticize any blogger include in my project, they just presented to save the time if I am going to shoot this video by my own. And I have no means to judge anyone study habits, &nbsp;those tasks are only examples to help me illustrate my topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I used these video clips to create a vlog with a new meaning compared to the original ones, which will probably\u00a0encourage\u00a0more discussion on this topic. According to the main criteria of plagiarism, this is not complete plagiarism. However, it will probably also bring negative influence if I post this video online: it may undermine the reputations of the bloggers from whom I borrowed videos without permission. Additionally, it involves misusing others\u2019 work to create content that deviates from the original intent. Those bloggers would feel the same sense of identity distortion as Lewis experienced in the Frozen issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summary, my work is not technically plagiarism because I created new meaning. But in the process, I directly copied others\u2019 videos\u2014especially without permission\u2014which can still be defined as plagiarism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Life doesn&#8217;t change, you do\u00a0https:\/\/youtu.be\/DQgdxgVazqg?si=IVuDpVsTPjKwJbcQ<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Running, do landuary, shower scene <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/MyNSFB7hzRk?si=YVl9KbslCW8Tz2Fp\"><u>https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/MyNSFB7hzRk?si=YVl9KbslCW8Tz2Fp<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Yoga time <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/6IHrLraFOTQ?si=0Pnxpv77nkmuLUSn\"><u>https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/6IHrLraFOTQ?si=0Pnxpv77nkmuLUSn<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Making Chia pudding <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/DFNZ3i7GD_E?si=ICo2sECxUowk3bpZ\"><u>https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/DFNZ3i7GD_E?si=ICo2sECxUowk3bpZ<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Breakfasts&amp;studyvideo1<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Waking up, drink water, Matcha latte, walking to classroom <a href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/ud-ggLYLfI8?si=nja5Cm3V5hSsDMqK\"><u>https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/ud-ggLYLfI8?si=nja5Cm3V5hSsDMqK<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>study video 2 https:\/\/b23.tv\/OhJ5d5X<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This re-edited \u201cStudy with me\u201d video is inspired after a&nbsp;heated debate which sparked online recently about a study blogger who seems overly theatrical\/over-the-top.&nbsp;&nbsp;This blogger\u2019s &nbsp;main&#8230;<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/wrt118\/perfect-efficient-study-vlog\/\">Continue Reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Perfect efficient Study vlog<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":8428,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-727","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-an-original-plagiarism-fa25","category-uncategorized","entry"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/wrt118\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/727","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/wrt118\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/wrt118\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/wrt118\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8428"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/wrt118\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=727"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/wrt118\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/727\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":742,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/wrt118\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/727\/revisions\/742"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/wrt118\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=727"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/wrt118\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=727"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/wrt118\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=727"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
