Recently, I have been able to finish my homework by 1 pm. This has allowed me to spend more time watching Netflix, doing puzzles, and baking. It also has inspired me to be more active on my TikTok account.

For those who do not know, TikTok is a social networking service that allows users to upload 15 to 60 second videos. There is a wide variety of video categories. Each user has a “For You Page” where TikTok compiles videos that they think would fascinate them. Common video category interests are comedy, singing, and acting. My feed is made up of food, home decor, and tv recommendations.

One downside of TikTok is that once you have downloaded it, it is very difficult to not spend hours on it. However, I have learned many things on TikTok that have either improved my quality of life or given me some hope for this summer. So, I would like to share them below. I will also be adding some that I learned from experience. If you have any tips or tricks, I recommend posting them somewhere. This way people can benefit from them as well!
