I have a serious issue...

My Strange Addiction - TikTok Edition



Over the last couple of weeks, I've noticed that I have developed a bit of a problem. I'm constantly on Tik Tok.

I've had the app for months now and would visit it on occasion, but never at the frequency that I am now. I can quite literally spend hours on end on this app. This addiction is self-diagnosed. I have not yet consulted a doctor yet but we are soon approaching that point. I'm not sure what it is about it that is so addictive, but I'm fully invested in this platform called Tik Tok.

My personal hypothesis is that because I was Tik Tok deficient for so long, that now my body is trying to counteract that deficiency by staying invested in it constantly.

I've subconsciously, gone to check my "for you" page twice in the matter of time it took me to get this far into this article.

It's insanity. I really don't understand what it is that makes everyone so crazy about this app. It honestly blows my mind.

If I really think about it, what makes everyone so attached to this app is most likely just the fact that everyone has a short attention span. The videos are so compact and so to the point that people are attracted to them in such an addictive manner.

In just one swift motion, you are on to the next video, and the next and the next. Before you know it, you are an hour in and you can't decide what is the real world and the Tik Tok world. I feel like I hear "renegade" in my nightmares.

The bottom line is, I have a crisis on my hands and I might need to seek medical help as soon a possible.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
