WHY I WAS RELUCTANT TO GET A TIK TOK ACCOUNT


I first heard of Tik Tok from my younger sister last year. She would send me videos or tell me about Tik Tok all the time. I really did not know what Tik Tok was, other than it had videos on it. I felt like I did not need another social media app because I already spent plenty of time on Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and Facebook. It was not until this year when I continuously heard about Tik Tok and how it was similar to Vine, that I decided to download the app. Even when I was hearing about how I should get it all the time; I was reluctant to download it because everyone said it was addicting.

All things aside, I did not expect much from Tik Tok. I did not think it would draw me in, but I was definitely wrong! Tik Tok drew me in the same way that Vine did. It is so hard to stop scrolling! Tik Tok has such a wide range of content that it is easy to find something that you are interested in. Plus, it is a great way for people to express themselves and stay connected. The social media platform has new content and trends every day. This makes you want to keep getting back on the app to find new content!

Although Tik Tok is great, I still love and miss Vine. The main difference I have found between the two social media platforms is that Vine had funnier content, while Tik Tok has a large variety of content like videos of dances and stories.

    I am still refusing to download Tik Tok, because I've also heard it's addicting. I know the day I download it, I will not get anything thing done and I'll find myself sitting there watching Tik Toks for hours. I loved Vine and actually made Vine videos. Now, if Vine would come back... I would download it in a heartbeat!

MY FAVORITE COOKIE RECIPE

I have been doing a lot of baking lately and thought I would share my favorite cookie recipe! There are so many cookie recipes it can be hard to find one that you will like. I love the classic chewy chocolate chip cookies, but my all-time favorite cookie is a monster cookie. I was always so excited when my mom would make these for me when I was little. What also is great about this recipe is that it does not require any flour, so they are gluten-free! MONSTER COOKIES Start to finish: 30 minutes Total: 3 dozen cookies Ingredients: 3 eggs 1 1/4 cups packed light brown sugar 1 cup granulated sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 12-ounce jar creamy peanut butter 1 stick butter, softened 1/2 cup multi-colored chocolate candies 1/2 cup chocolate chips 2 teaspoons baking soda 4 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal (not instant) Directions First you want to preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. and spray a cookie sheet with non...

5K Training

I thought I would give you guys a little update on how Paige and I have progressed in our 5K training. We have reached week five in our training. We have been running consistently five days a week for five weeks! I did not realize how quickly our training would go by. We are now only 11 days away from running our own 5K! Paige and I have made it to 2.5 miles without stopping, which may not seem far, but it feels like a great accomplishment for us! We are a little over a half-mile away from our goal of doing a 5K. We plan on reaching our goal by the end of this week! Keeping motivated to run has been difficult some days. It is easy to make excuses of why not to run like it’s too cold or raining, so I thought I would tell you a few ways I stay motivated. The first way Paige and I stay motivated is by holding each other accountable. Paige and I find it best that we run together so we continue to keep up with our training. Plus, we get to get out of the house when we run! We ...

LOOKING BACK AT MY SOCIAL MEDIA PRINCIPLES CLASS

Last semester I was looking for a class to take to fill my credit hours. I had no idea that this class would teach me so much more than I had ever expected. My first week back in class, some of my classmates told me that Dr. Aggie’s class was fun, but challenging. Along with that, this is the one class that I need to read the textbook. Although this was somewhat intimidating to hear, I stuck with the course and now I am so happy that I did. Along with learning about social media and how to run it from a business standard, I met some awesome people along the way. Having such a small class meant that we all got to know each other well. Along with this, even when we went to remote learning our class sessions were still fun! I am going to miss making Tik Tok videos in class before we start lecture and learning about my classmates and professor. Even though blogging was my least favorite part of this class, I feel like I learned so much about blogging over these past 15 weeks. M...
