For some, going on vacation is about the memories you make—and capture on your phone.
On TikTok, user @mgn_h posted a video of herself as she tried to skip a rock to capture an "aesthetic" but ended up hitting her partner.
"Being aesthetic isn't for everyone," she captioned the video, which shows her telling her partner to move before throwing the rock that hits him. Since she posted it on April 15, the video has received more than 5 million views and 680,000 likes. Newsweek has contacted @mgn_h for comment via TikTok.

The poster's footage suggests the camera was positioned on the ground, ready to capture her stone-skipping against a fading sunset in Greece. Despite the distance of the camera from the TikToker and her partner, or the volume of the music playing in the video, viewers could still hear the rock hit the poster's unsuspecting partner.
Viewers were shocked at the loud pop the stone made on impact, with one writing, "The sound when it hits him sent me to glory and back."
"My now husband was trying to show me his stone-skipping skills a couple months into dating on Mykonos and accidentally whipped one at my neck," another added. "Such similar vibes and so funny."
Commenters also told the poster that despite the accident, she might have captured a truly "aesthetic" and memorable piece of content.
"This is an aesthetic," a user wrote. "Who among us would not want to do this at some point to our mans?"
"The aesthetic of good memories," another said.
"This was surely more memorable than if it had gone to plan," a commenter added.
How to Create 'Aesthetic' Content
TikTok is abundant with content creators who are well versed in capturing moments with a certain mood or theme.
Some have shared their expertise online to help others keep up with the digital times. One such content creator is Zack Kravits (@zackkravits), who posted a video with tips on how to make creating "fun and simple."
Kravits suggested setting up a camera, positioning yourself in the frame, and then "moving, touching certain accessories on [your] clothes, and just having fun with it."
If there are issues with lighting—or if your phone autocorrects photos in a way you don't like—Kravits offered another method for capturing the perfect shot: Take a video of yourself and screenshot images you like from the video.
"The key is to have fun," he said. "Don't take it too seriously. You'll probably cringe at a lot of your photos, but you'll get a couple that are absolutely fire—and that's what keeps you going."
