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!

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
