One year, documented. Still locked in.
@li_locked.in started June 6, 2025 — a promise to document the grind in public. One year later: 83 reels, 1.39 million plays, and a city-sized story or two. Study tips, campaigns, feasts, the discomfort of trying new things — the whole year is below, in order.

● REC — Day 001 · Jun 6, 2025
One year. Five chapters. Every date, caption, and play count below is real.
Chapter 01 — June 2025
Thesummer
grind.
June 6, 2025 — sophomore year ends, and the account begins with a promise: post every single day of summer. The early reels are raw — study tips, growing pains, a bulking arc, a few plot twists. But the thesis shows up fast. By week three the whole project has a name: a series called The Pursuit of Happiness, with Fremont's mayor in episode one.

Day 016 · Jun 21, 2025
First civic campaign.
“vote for a climbing wall 😁 — your city, your park, your voice”
Day 018 · Jun 23, 2025
The series gets its name.
“The Pursuit of Happiness: Ep. 1 — Introduction and Mayor Salwan”
Chapter 02 — July 2025
Theroad
to1600.
July turns into a countdown. The Road to 1600 — a daily SAT-prep diary, T-minus days ticking down through library Khan Academy grinds, Desmos exploits, and nutrition takes. Then AP scores drop, the camera catches the reaction, and 95,000 people watch. First taste of real scale.

Chapter 03 — July — August 2025
TheSweet
Tomatoessaga.
Day 51 is supposed to be a throwaway: what if Sweet Tomatoes — Fremont's beloved, long-gone buffet — came back? 339,000 views later it's a campaign. Feasibility updates, lease-signage news from the landlord's realty, a whole city checking its mail. Half a million views in a single month — and one quiet reel to close it out.

Theschool
year.
Junior year starts and the daily promise relaxes — the camera doesn't. Homecoming hype reels that pull 39k between two classes, drone passes over the track, Diwali fireworks, and a three-part civic case for fixing a new park's parking plan. December closes with 41 Cursor credits left and a vibe-coding diary that turns into AcornPrep.

Day 201 · Dec 23, 2025
The build log begins.
“down to our last 41 — follow along to see how far our vibes can take us with vibe coding 🤙”
Chapter 05 — January — June 2026
Seventeen.
Stillgoing.
January 2nd, before sunrise: the Mission Peak birthday tradition, on camera, at 17. The spring that follows puts the account everywhere — campus walkout coverage cut like a news package, the First Partner and then the Governor of California on mic, Iron Chef, prom in San Francisco, AP-season feasts. Day 368 is a June SAT post-mortem. The pursuit continues.
Day 211 · Jan 2, 2026
Day 227 · Jan 18, 2026
The thesis.
“an attempt to create the extraordinary from the mundane”
Day 247 · Feb 7, 2026
Covering the walkout.
“hundreds of Mission students walked out with signs, chants, and speeches that echoed across campus”
Day 286 · Mar 18, 2026
The Governor, on mic.
“@cagovernor answers the hottest, most controversial takes in the county: milk or cereal first?”
Day 368 · Jun 8, 2026
Day 368. Still posting.
“circle with points XYZ on circumference….huh?”
Day 369 — to be continued
