Yes, I'm a college student who recently downloaded Tik-Tok as a joke at first but.. I'm addicted now. Here are some things I have learned about myself thanks to this wonderful app.

Finding out you can't dance



Yep. There are so many Tik-Tok dances out there and each time I try one, the more I find out that I'm not cut out to be a famous dancer. These teenagers literally make it look so much easier than it actually is.

Some of the trends are actually funny


Hear me out, there are some really funny trends on there that I literally can't get out of my head. I will sit in bed. scrolling through my feed and laugh for about an hour. I'm telling you guys right now, don't knock it until you try it.

Seeing how much prettier these teenagers are now


How come teenagers now a days look all grown up? When I was their age I was wearing band shirts and leggings all the time. Yet, here they are becoming Tik-Tok famous for being VSCO girls.

Tik-Tok is the new Vine


Back when I was a youngster, we had Vine. I literally used to make Vines all the time in hopes of one day becoming Vine famous but now teens just want to be Tik-Tok famous. Vines were only ever 6 seconds and they could either make or break you on the internet.

VSCO Girl is the new Tumblr Girl


Everyone is acting as if being a VSCO girl is this whole new trend when honestly it's just the new generation of teens version of a Tumblr girl. Back when I was younger, everyone wanted to be a Tumblr girl and wear vans, bracelets, hairbands, cool hairstyles, etc. So basically the same concept.

How it makes me feel


I feel old. I watch all these teenagers on there and it just makes me feel.. well, just like the giphy.

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?
