9 Things TikTok Did For My Life, In Response To It Potentially Getting Banned From The United States

Dear TikTok,

We've had some good times together.

Although you sometimes creep me out with your crazily accurate algorithm when suggesting new videos on my 'For Your Page' and have sucked out hours of my days while mindlessly scrolling through your interface, I really hope this isn't the end to our short-lived two years with one another.

But with the looming possibility that you may be gone from devices across the United States for a while, here's a reflection of all the times you've influenced everyday life and conversations.


We've hit many woahs, mastered the Renegade, and got to throw it back together over the years.

@mtv


You've reminded me on my worst days that I am still truly a "Savage" and helped me to manifest my goals with the audio, "Get the bread, get that head, then leave."

Best TikTok Compilations


You've introduced me to many delicious, yet simple recipes, from whipped coffee to pancake cereal.

You took my boredom in quarantine this year and spun out a bunch of different challenges to keep me entertained, from the plank challenge to making me learn the moves to "Blueberry Faygo."

@samhurley



You've given some of my favorite influencers the platform to share career, fashion, and beauty tips and advice with their audiences.

@skincarebyhyram


Lastly, ("I've been waiting for this one, turn it up!") thanks to you, I can no longer have a normal conversation without dropping one TikTok reference.

At the end of the day, however, I may just be another "Ordinary Girl" with a burning TikTok obsession, but I speak for everyone when I say that we will miss you.

@dingusclown


TikTok, I hope this isn't a goodbye, but if it is, you've truly earned a place in my heart forever (and that's on periodt).

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
