The Great Gatsby is a classic American novel set in the Roaring Twenties, a time of prosperity, jazz, bootlegging, and social upheaval. Through the eyes of the narrator, Nick Carraway, F. Scott Fitzgerald tells the story of the mysterious and fabulously wealthy Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion for the beautiful Daisy Buchanan. Beneath the glamour of Gatsby’s lavish parties lies a tale of longing, illusion, and the dark side of the American Dream. Nick Carraway, a Yale graduate and World War I veteran from the Midwest, moves to West Egg, Long Island, in the summer of 1922 to work in the bond business. West Egg is home to the "new rich" who have recently acquired wealth and flaunt it with ostentatious displays. Across the bay lies East Egg, home to the established aristocracy and old money.

with Social Media
A story by Makinzy
Introduction
- (^) I used to be on every social network I could find. At first, it was just to keep in touch... but it started affecting my personal life.
Breaking Point
- (^) "I don't think I can do this anymore... College isn't anything like I expected."
A Turning Point
- (^) A friend reached out after a concerning post. She came over and listened. That moment changed everything.
But Also Risky
- (^) • Loneliness
- (^) • Lower self-esteem
- (^) • Anxiety and sadness
- (^) • Disconnect from real life
Taking Control
- (^) With Lila’s support, I found resources and set guardrails on my social media use.
Moving Forward
- (^) I now balance social media with real-life connections. It's not always easy, but it’s worth it.
Final Thought
- (^) "Managing my social media use is one of the many techniques I use to keep my mental health on the right track." – Makinzy
