How to Survive Without TikTok
The great TikTok ban of January 19 took Americans by storm, and although it was short lived, it opened up a lot of people’s eyes to how dependent they were on the app. With the app’s future still uncertain, it’s normal to feel some anxiety about possibly having to part with the beloved platform. However, there was a time before TikTok where society was able to thrive, and in the event of a TikTok ban, we would get through it… and here's how!
Take up a Hobby
TikTok withdrawals are no joke, and can leave one with a strong sense of boredom. The best way to give yourself some fulfillment is to find a hobby you enjoy! Staying busy is the best distraction. There are countless options, but here are some on the best:
Video games: Similar to Tiktok, these are all done online. There are endless games to choose from, and each game comes with its own community of players to connect with. Video games are a wonderful way to make new friends and get the dopamine hit that TikTok once provided.
Learning an instrument: There are so many upsides to learning an instrument. There’s no better feeling than music, especially when it’s your own. It also gives you the opportunity to be creative by writing your own music. Not to mention the crazy aura that comes with being able to play an instrument.
Baking: This is a hobby that not only is fun, but also ends in a delicious sweet treat. Baking can also be used to build up relationships, because everyone loves sugar! You are sure to get invited to every function if you promise to bring some delicious homemade treats.
Get a job
While working isn’t always the most fun way to pass the time, it certainly is effective! And the reward is well worth it. Getting a job will prepare you for the real world, give you work experience, and give you some spending money! If you channel all your frustration about TikTok into your work, you will flourish, and soon you’ll forget you ever even had tiktok!
Search for love
There’s no greater joy in life than being in love, as well as no greater distraction from TikTok! But how does one find love? Well, here are a few ways:
Double Date: If you truly can’t find anyone, ask your friend to set you up! Even though it might end terribly, at least you’ll have a pal with you!
Put Yourself Out There: The best way to find love is to put yourself out there. This can mean going to different events and talking to new people. At the end of the day, at least you’ll make new friends!
Adopt a pet
Ok, last resort, if you can’t find anyone else, you can always adopt a pet! Animals do a great job of giving you some self purpose, as it gives you something to take care of. Just make sure you actually take care of the pet…
