Bigger bag or smaller tent?

My cousin and I went to a campsite for the first time in 10 years a couple of months ago, and now we're going to try our first wild camp on a hike (for anyone worrying, we're camping about a mile and a half away from the car, it's really just a test run). I've had this bag since I was a kid in scouts, and the tent is my sisters, I'd rather not have to buy loads of equipment when I haven't actually started camping "properly" yet, but I guess I forgot how small the bag actually is compared to the tent, and I have no idea how I'm supposed to attach it.

Do I just need to get a different tent that will fit in or on the bag? Or is there a practical way to pack this?

Hope this isn't a too common question! I tried to look up tent packing but couldn't find any results about this more awkward round shape of tent.

Edit to add: thanks for the quick responses! I'm aware this isn't an ideal tent for hiking with, but as I already said, it's just what I've got 😁

I found a bigger bag, (65 liters instead of 40), and my current plan is to attach it to the top with a carabiner, and tie it to the sides with a bungee or baling twine.

I've severely messed up my back derailer by trying to fix it and am at a complete loss

I got my first proper bike the other day and wasn't happy with how it was shifting, so decided to try my hand at some bike maintenance, it can't be that hard, right? Except i don't actually know the first thing about bikes and have made such a mess of it, I've spent over 3 hours on it over the course of 2 days and I just keep making things worse, every time I make it slightly better, I change something else and it's somehow 10x worse again. Where do I go from here? I'd really like to try sort this myself as I know it's not actually a hard fix

How to STOP screen from staying on?

I've developed a really annoying problem of falling asleep while watching tiktok or Instagram reels, which means that most nights, my phone just won't turn off and stays on all night.

I've tried just not watching it but my half sleep self just seems to automatically click onto it now.

I've got an app that blocks it after a certain time, but that's just an overlay and it keeps the screen on too, Tiktok also blocks itself at a certain time, but again the screen still stays on even with the blocked pop up.

I've looked all through settings and my screen is technically supposed to turn off after 30 seconds, but that doesn't apply to videos.

Aside from just deleting tiktok and Instagram, how can I stop this from happening? I've only had this phone a couple of months and I really don't want to kill it by leaving it on for 10 hours at a time
