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!

Using Social Media to Find Gluten Free Recipes

Being gluten free can be difficult as it is, so why struggle to find things to make or eat. One of the most challenging things about being gluten free is finding a place to go out to eat at. Therefore, I often decide to stay in and make my own meal. Luckily, there are so many gluten free baking blogs and accounts on Instagram and other site, that it makes making your own meal so much easier. The thing about baking gluten free is that gluten free flour does not have the same elasticity as flour with gluten. When you look at a gluten free recipe you will likely see Xanthium Gum or other additives that create the elasticity, so your bread does not crumble as easily. Recently, companies have started to make gluten free flour that you can replace regular flour with one-to-one. This make a world of difference when you are converting a recipe to gluten free. I follow quite a few gluten free baking accounts on social media. Below I have compiled a list of my favorite accounts to find g

ALUMNI BASKETBALL GAME AT BUCKEYE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL

On Feb. 24 th , I live-tweeted the boys alumni basketball game. There were two teams playing. Since the players only play for fun, they do not have actual team names. Instead they wore red and white shirts to distinguish themselves. I referred to the teams based on their shirt color throughout my tweets. The game was held at Buckeye Central High School in their gym.   It was a close game for most of the game, with lots of back-and-forth. The final score was 86 to 82, with the red team coming out on top! Both teams did an excellent job and had a great game! Congratulations to the Red Team! You can check out my live tweet by searching #AlumniBBall2020 on twitter or by following me on twitter @Lydia74353175.

TRAINING TO RUN A 5K

Running use to be something I always enjoyed doing. I was in cross-country, track, and always liked the conditioning part of basketball. Even after I was out of sports, I continued to run consistently up until last year. I am not sure why I stopped running I just ended up not running anymore. So, since my classes are all online now, I have no more excuses to not run. In order to keep motivated, I am running with my sister Paige and we set a goal that we want to complete a 5K without walking. Since we do not know when the next 5K will be because of COVID-19, we decided we would have our own 5K on May 1 st . We are training five days a week, Monday through Friday. We also made challenges for different days of the week, so we continue to challenge ourselves. One of our challenges is that we run as far as we can in one direction without walking. Then we are forced to either walk or run all the way back. This is something my coach use to do when I was in cross country, so that we
