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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."
