Yes, I'm a college student who recently downloaded Tik-Tok as a joke at first but.. I'm addicted now. Here are some things I have learned about myself thanks to this wonderful app.

Finding out you can't dance



Yep. There are so many Tik-Tok dances out there and each time I try one, the more I find out that I'm not cut out to be a famous dancer. These teenagers literally make it look so much easier than it actually is.

Some of the trends are actually funny


Hear me out, there are some really funny trends on there that I literally can't get out of my head. I will sit in bed. scrolling through my feed and laugh for about an hour. I'm telling you guys right now, don't knock it until you try it.

Seeing how much prettier these teenagers are now


How come teenagers now a days look all grown up? When I was their age I was wearing band shirts and leggings all the time. Yet, here they are becoming Tik-Tok famous for being VSCO girls.

Tik-Tok is the new Vine


Back when I was a youngster, we had Vine. I literally used to make Vines all the time in hopes of one day becoming Vine famous but now teens just want to be Tik-Tok famous. Vines were only ever 6 seconds and they could either make or break you on the internet.

VSCO Girl is the new Tumblr Girl


Everyone is acting as if being a VSCO girl is this whole new trend when honestly it's just the new generation of teens version of a Tumblr girl. Back when I was younger, everyone wanted to be a Tumblr girl and wear vans, bracelets, hairbands, cool hairstyles, etc. So basically the same concept.

How it makes me feel


I feel old. I watch all these teenagers on there and it just makes me feel.. well, just like the giphy.

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.
