A Day in the Life: A Young American's Humorous Take on 2025

In a relatable and humorous TikTok video, a young American, Spencer (@spencewuah), chronicles a typical day in 2025, highlighting the anxieties and humor of modern life. The video opens with Spencer waking up and contemplating his birth certificate, calling it "a receipt for lifelong participation in a rigged economy." He then proceeds to his morning routine, which includes a Bloom energy drink, a sponsored product. "Because if I'm gonna function like a real person and not a raccoon rummaging through a garbage can, I'm gonna need a little help," he says. The video then shifts to Spencer's news consumption habits, which he describes as watching "an episode of Goosebumps," anticipating a jump scare with every headline. He shares his reactions to various news stories, including concerns about the economy and political issues. "Compulsively checking the news even though you know it's going to ruin your day," he says, highlighting the anxieties many share. The video concludes with Spencer's humorous observation, "Saying 'this can't be real' at least once a day after reading a news headline." Spencer's video offers a humorous yet poignant commentary on the everyday experiences of young Americans today, reminding us to find humor in the midst of uncertainty.
