10 January TikTok Trends Ranked From Best To The Absolute Worst

Like nearly every Gen Z cusp member at the beginning of 2020, I rolled my eyes when TikTok was rapidly becoming the #1 social media app in the world. Of course, I eventually hopped on the trend. Now, here we are in 2021 where nearly people of nearly every generation, culture, and people group have started creating content too!

With the New Year comes new Tiktok trends. In just one month, TikTok has had dozens of trends go viral across the world. Here are the ten most popular trends from January 2021, ranked from the very best to...well...worst.

1. #seashanty

Where do I begin? If rewatching Pirates of The Caribbean every weekend is your source of serotonin, you probably already know of the #seashanty trend. The most talented vocalists, violinists, and flutists of TikTok banded together to produce incredible sea shanties beautiful enough to imagine yourself as a siren or a plundering pirate while listening to it.

2. #groupchat

The #groupchat trend, where an automated voice and emoji faces reenact hilarious group chat conversations, had us all ROLLING. Whether it's the weekend-drunk friends speaking barely coherent sentences or stepkids roasting their parents, this trend is probably the most relatable and it never gets old.

3. #bussit

While I'm not one to go crazy over the dance trends, #bussit takes the cake. This transformation trend is all about body positivity and embracing your femininity. Also, the cosplayers and fashionistas are killing it. Go off queens!

4. #isthisavailable

When @lubalin on TikTok composed a dramatization of a Facebook Marketplace convo, it managed to get 33 million views, blowing up into probably the most popular trend of 2021. Now, it's getting a little old, but this will continue to be one of my favorite sounds to see creators use.

5. #driverslicense

Olivia Rodrigo, the 17-year-old artist and singer of the hit "driver's license", broke insane records when her song blew up on Instagram and TikTok. Her song broke Spotify's record for most streams of a song in a single week, surpassing A-list stars such as Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift. Thousands of creators initially used this song for an acting and transition trend, but now groups of TikTokers are ironically performing the song terribly.

6. #renaissancechallenge

The #renaissancechallenge has fulfilled my aesthetic desires and captured the hearts of every Pride and Prejudice fan. Using the greenscreen effect, creators are editing themselves into a renaissance scene complete with flying angels, pastel hues, and classical music playing. This trend feels like a dream and I wish it were real life.

7. #bridgerton

While my history-loving ass cannot stand watching Bridgerton because of the historical inaccuracies of monarchies, fashion, and pretty much every other aspect, the show #bridgerton has engulfed TikTok with a variety of trends. One side of TikTok is producing romantic, heart-wrenching new music based on the characters and the other side of TikTok is trying to put together an entire play. Y'all succeeded with making Ratatouille a literal theater production, so I have no doubts that TikTok could succeed again.

8. #babynames

Now we're stepping into the weird side of TikTok. I don't even know how to describe this trend-- just click the link. Honestly, this trend made me cackle the first few times, but now I feel bad for the poor babies who were photographed and mocked. It's not gonna stop me from sharing this trend with all my friends though, LOL.

9. #carpetcleaning

All it took was for one child to smother their parent's carpet in glue and paint and attempt to rehabilitate the stained threads of fabric for all of TikTok to hop on the trend. The goal is to smoosh various substances into your carpet and get it out with random liquids like hand sanitizer and lotion. What is wrong with y'all? The number of people who have attempted to get acrylic paint out of their carpets with foaming hand soap is frightening.

10. #cookformyhusband

This trend where women cook for their abusive husbands is satire, but #cookformyhusband just does not sit right with me. Making jokes out of a man slapping his wife because she cooked eggs wrong? No, thank you.

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.
