Why Tik Tok Is Single-Handedly Controlling My Life

Tik Tok has completely taken over my life, and I need it to stop.

Why Tik Tok Is Single-Handedly Controlling My Life

If you don't know, Tik Tok is an app where people can record, edit, and publish short videos anyone with a Tik Tok account can watch. It's basically the new version of Vine, except better. On the app, you can follow friends to send them funny videos, "heart" a video you think is funny or cool, and even comment on videos. Because the app is so addicted, I have found myself watching Tik Tok videos for several hours a day.

My roommates are obsessed with the app as well and we have even taken to creating our own videos. All we talk about anymore is Tik Toks. I even found myself sending my mom one the other day.

As you can see, my liking for this app has gotten a little out of hand. If I quit watching Tik Toks, though, I won't understand anything my friends and roommates are talking about. So, to stay in the loop, I have to feed my obsession.

My advice to anyone who does not have a Tik Tok or has even never heard of it is that you definitely SHOULD NOT download it. It is the biggest waste of time and enabler of procrastination. I think I am going to have to start setting maybe a twenty-minute timer each time I open the app because I lose track of time too easily.

When I wake up in the morning, I get on Tik Tok. When I am at lunch with friends, I get on Tik Tok. When I am walking to class, I get on Tik Tok. The amount of time I spend watching these pointless, though hilarious videos are becoming alarming and I am not quite sure what to do about it.

I guess what I am trying to point out is that the app is too addictive. If you know you won't be able to stop, don't start watching Tik Toks, because I now have a serious problem.

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.
