What It's Like Having A TikTok At Age 22

Please, no dances that have more than 6 moves.

The inevitable has happened, I have made a TikTok account.

I remember the days where I would tell myself that I would never watch those videos, let alone, get an account! Having to spend so much time indoors lately has lead to falling into the TikTok trap (it really is a trap, I promise). It is one thing to watch all of these people do really cool dances but it is completely different to try and recreate those dance moves on your own! It is a lot harder than it seems (or maybe 22 year olds have a harder time? you tell me!). Countless times I have tried to follow these super fun looking dances but time after time I failed...

Find me a dance that has less than six moves and I'll have it down by the end of the day (or maybe the end of the week but regardless, I'll have it down) but give me a dance that has more moves than that and you can forget it!

One of my favorite things about this app is the different people you can find on this app. In my "For You" section I can find videos that show short DIY cooking, tips and tricks for organizing, or even where to find dupes for expensive products.

The videos that I find myself making are lip syncing to someone else's sound. Those are by far my favorite to watch and my favorite to recreate.

It is so funny to me that when I first downloaded the app I was so bamboozled when it came to the functioning of it (creating videos, editing, adding effects, etc). I even had to ask my 16-year-old brother (yeah, I MUST be getting old). A month into the TikTok world and I have videos that have reached the eyes of over 2,000 people ,so I guess you could say I'm famous. Now, if you need me, I'll be watching videos on how to build a pool from dirt in the jungle...don't ask, that's how TikTok works!

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
