10 Things Teenagers Google at 2 AM

From sources across the world!

Let’s be honest, nothing hits harder than a teen brain at 2 AM, Wi-Fi on full bars, existential dread fully loaded, and Google wide awake with you. What do we end up searching? Here’s a (very real) glimpse into our collective chaos:

  • How to get rich without a job – Because obviously, capitalism is exhausting and we all want to retire by 25. Passive income, anyone?
  • Do penguins have knees? Yes. They do. And it changes nothing, but somehow feels like vital information at that hour.
  • How to move to another country at 18? (without telling anyone) – Because sometimes you’re this close to packing a bag, adopting a new identity, and starting fresh in Iceland. With zero clue how visas work.
  • How many hours of sleep do I need to survive? Spoiler alert: Not the 3 you’re currently getting. But hey, vibes > health.
  • What happens if I eat expired chocolate? I still did. I’m fine. Mostly. But thanks WebMD for scaring me into thinking it was fatal.
  • Signs I’m the main character: Turns out, you are. Just not in their story. Ouch.
  • Why do I feel sad for no reason? Mental health matters. And sometimes, it really helps to just type it out and start the convo, even with Google.
  • DIY haircut tutorial: Don’t. Just don’t. Unless you’re going for the chaotic Tumblr-era look.
  • Can I survive on ramen and iced coffee? Technically yes. Thriving? That’s another issue.
  • Is it normal to feel like I don’t know what I’m doing? Yes. Literally everyone is winging it. Even adults.

Sources? It’s us. Our screen time, autofill history, and group chats at 2:07 AM. You’re not alone, this is the universal teenage experience. Laugh at it. Talk about it. Maybe even Google “how to stop overthinking everything” while you’re at it. Now go to sleep… or don’t. If you are still up and want to engage yourself, write your thoughts to friends@genwe.today.
