9 Things TikTok Did For My Life, In Response To It Potentially Getting Banned From The United States

Dear TikTok,

We've had some good times together.

Although you sometimes creep me out with your crazily accurate algorithm when suggesting new videos on my 'For Your Page' and have sucked out hours of my days while mindlessly scrolling through your interface, I really hope this isn't the end to our short-lived two years with one another.

But with the looming possibility that you may be gone from devices across the United States for a while, here's a reflection of all the times you've influenced everyday life and conversations.


We've hit many woahs, mastered the Renegade, and got to throw it back together over the years.

@mtv


You've reminded me on my worst days that I am still truly a "Savage" and helped me to manifest my goals with the audio, "Get the bread, get that head, then leave."

Best TikTok Compilations


You've introduced me to many delicious, yet simple recipes, from whipped coffee to pancake cereal.

You took my boredom in quarantine this year and spun out a bunch of different challenges to keep me entertained, from the plank challenge to making me learn the moves to "Blueberry Faygo."

@samhurley



You've given some of my favorite influencers the platform to share career, fashion, and beauty tips and advice with their audiences.

@skincarebyhyram


Lastly, ("I've been waiting for this one, turn it up!") thanks to you, I can no longer have a normal conversation without dropping one TikTok reference.

At the end of the day, however, I may just be another "Ordinary Girl" with a burning TikTok obsession, but I speak for everyone when I say that we will miss you.

@dingusclown


TikTok, I hope this isn't a goodbye, but if it is, you've truly earned a place in my heart forever (and that's on periodt).

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.
