My Strange Addiction - TikTok Edition

I have a serious issue...

My Strange Addiction - TikTok Edition



Over the last couple of weeks, I've noticed that I have developed a bit of a problem. I'm constantly on Tik Tok.

I've had the app for months now and would visit it on occasion, but never at the frequency that I am now. I can quite literally spend hours on end on this app. This addiction is self-diagnosed. I have not yet consulted a doctor yet but we are soon approaching that point. I'm not sure what it is about it that is so addictive, but I'm fully invested in this platform called Tik Tok.

My personal hypothesis is that because I was Tik Tok deficient for so long, that now my body is trying to counteract that deficiency by staying invested in it constantly.

I've subconsciously, gone to check my "for you" page twice in the matter of time it took me to get this far into this article.

It's insanity. I really don't understand what it is that makes everyone so crazy about this app. It honestly blows my mind.

If I really think about it, what makes everyone so attached to this app is most likely just the fact that everyone has a short attention span. The videos are so compact and so to the point that people are attracted to them in such an addictive manner.

In just one swift motion, you are on to the next video, and the next and the next. Before you know it, you are an hour in and you can't decide what is the real world and the Tik Tok world. I feel like I hear "renegade" in my nightmares.

The bottom line is, I have a crisis on my hands and I might need to seek medical help as soon a possible.

Summer: a time (usually) free from school work and a time to relax with your friends and family. Maybe you go on a vacation or maybe you work all summer, but the time off really does help. When you're in college you become super close with so many people it's hard to think that you won't see many of them for three months. But, then you get that text saying, "Hey, clear your schedule next weekend, I'm coming up" and you begin to flip out. Here are the emotions you go through as your best friend makes her trip to your house.

Winter break is over, we're all back at our respective colleges, and the first week of classes is underway. This is a little bit how that week tends to go.

The professor starts to go over something more than the syllabus

You get homework assigned on the first day of class

There are multiple group projects on the syllabus

You learn attendance is mandatory and will be taken every class

Professor starts chatting about their personal life and what inspired them to teach this class

Participation is mandatory and you have to play "icebreaker games"

Everybody is going out because its 'syllabus week' but you're laying in bed watching Grey's Anatomy

Looking outside anytime past 8 PM every night of this week

Nobody actually has any idea what's happening this entire week

Syllabus week is over and you realize you actually have to try now...or not

Now it's time to get back into the REAL swing of things. Second semester is really here and we all have to deal with it.

Whether you specialized in ringing people up or preparing the food, if you worked at Panera Bread it holds a special place in your heart. Here are some signs that you worked at Panera in high school.

1. You own so many pairs of khaki pants you don’t even know what to do with them

Definitely the worst part about working at Panera was the uniform and having someone cute come in. Please don’t look at me in my hat.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
