Tik Tok Is Officially The New Vine, Which You'd Know If You'd Just Give It A Chance

Vine was one of the greatest creations, people all around the world were obsessed with this application which would show short clips that were no more than seven seconds. Tragically, Vine is no more. The new "Vine" is an application called Tik Tok, however many people refuse to even download the application. I think this is because of the way the application was marketed. Instead of advertising the funny comedic stuff, Tik Tok would advertise videos of people lip singing, and showcase people like Jojo Siwa.

However, the application is much more than that. My guess for their advertisement was that they wanted to attract younger teenagers in the world. Unfortunately, at doing so they have scared off the older teenagers and higher. I downloaded Tik Tok one night when I was bored, and managed to spend two hours scrolling through content. I encourage those who have not given the application a chance, to do so. I have managed to get around five of my friends to download the application and have managed to show them the best of the best videos to get them to keep it on their phones.

Unlike Vine, Tik Tok has a longer time span for videos, making it like a .gif version of YouTube. It is easy to attain followers on the application. I posted a video on my account of my Golden Retriever, and over 60,000 people have viewed it. My prior videos reached a few hundred people, with my follower count being around 15. Since having over 60,000 views I have gained 200 followers on the application, and the video itself has been liked by around 8,000 people and counting.

All I'm asking is that those individuals who are against Tik Tok, simply try it. They customize your "For You" page, based on the content that you like, so the application is tailored towards you.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
