Like every other person in America, I became a little obsessed with TikTok during the quarantine. My mom and I made a lot of TikTok dinner recipes. The app taught me some fun crafts and life hacks, and presented me with absolutely useless information that I thought was pretty cool. So I took it upon myself to compile some of my favorite things I learned about from TikTok and rate them (on a completely non-mathematical scale).
CraftsByNatalieCo
I love supporting small businesses, and when I found CraftsByNatalieCo, I was obsessed. She makes super cute resin jewelry with plants inside, and all of her pieces are gorgeous! The jewelry I have bought from her shipped really quickly, came in good condition, and I wear the pieces often.

Tabitha Brown
I am not vegan, nor do I cook often, but I love all of Tabitha Brown’s content. She gives off really good vibes, and all of her videos are just wonderful.
Rating: 100,000,000/10
Blob opera
Is this practical? No. Is it useless? Probably. Did it entertain me far more than it should have? Absolutely. I don’t quite know what this is for, but my friends and I had a fun time making our own blob operas.

The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
In my experience, TikTok book recommendations are pretty hit or miss, and this was definitely a hit! I could talk about this book for hours, but I’m just going to keep this short and say if you’re looking for a good mystery novel, read it.

You can teach cats to hike.
This is without a doubt my new life goal.

Musical Theatre Workouts
I love musical theatre, and I love Zumba and other dance-style workouts. Yet, it never occurred to me that the two co-existed; thanks to TikTok, I have found some really fun YouTubers who make free musical-theatre dance workouts.

Musical Theatre Workout TikTok
How to make my Google Slides presentations look better.
Generally speaking, I like to keep it simple, but TikTok has taught me a lot of easy ways I can make my PowerPoint presentations look a little nicer.
Rating: 9/10
New Music!
From musicals I have never even heard of, to aspiring songwriters, awesome playlists, and upcoming music artists, TikTok has given me a plethora of new songs to listen to, and most of them have been bops. There are way too many artists to list all of them, but I definitely recommend trying to find some new music through TikTok.
