Written by Kaelyn Spickler<\/em><\/p>\n

I am now a somewhat-freshly-22-year-old, and unless something crazy happens, this is my last semester writing for the Brackety-Ack. \ud83d\ude41 With that, I decided it would be fun for my final column to be \u201c22 Things\u2026\u201d where I can sometimes share advice, list my favorites, or give some insight.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This week I will be sharing 22 things that TikTok has taught me. Though I hate to admit it, my TikTok usage has gone up significantly in the last year, and it has truly brought a lot of things to my attention (helpful and for fun) that I may not otherwise have known or tried.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Blu<\/span>e mascara is in. No, this is not navy, but a true blue. I haven\u2019t been brave enough to try it, but I have found a happy medium with blue eyeliner and I do think it makes my eyes pop more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Suez <\/span>Canal. See the previous issue to read about how TikTok informed millions of the young adults on the boat stuck in the Suez Canal earlier this month.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Soa<\/span>p brows!<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>art of making your Instagram stories pop.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Skinn<\/span>y jeans are out\u2026? I would not have picked up on this if I didn\u2019t have TikTok, and quite frankly, even though I am aware of it now, I am ignoring it (like many people 22+).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Feta <\/span>pasta, need I say more?<\/span><\/p>\n

Heatless <\/span>curls. This is my favorite thing I have learned from TikTok. Putting a bathrobe tie across my damp hair and twisting strands of hair around it has been a game changer for curling my hair, especially since I have given up on figuring out how to use a curling iron.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You <\/span>can make pizza in the air fryer- tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese on a tortilla.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some <\/span>ab exercises are widening your core making it look like your waist is getting bigger.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>shampoo you are using is likely bad. Basically any shampoo you get at Target or Walmart is causing your hair to fall out\u2026 at least according to TikTok.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Safety<\/span> tips (e.g. trying to park beside a curb and then standing on the curb while you unlock your car in case someone is underneath your car).<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>perfect way to make a quesadilla- by dividing the tortilla into fourths, cutting it (not all the way through), and then folding it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dogs<\/span> love to be pet with a toothbrush.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Healthy <\/span>apple pie- cinnamon on apple slices!<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>Ordinary skincare products are a must-try.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bridgerton <\/span>is a must watch! Frankly, if it weren\u2019t for TikTok, I probably wouldn\u2019t have given this show much thought, and I would have been missing out!<\/span><\/p>\n

At-ho<\/span>me face lift. I would probably still be putting concealer in a triangle under my eyes instead of on the outer and inner corners of my eyes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Get <\/span>the full background in a picture by taking a panorama going upwards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mac<\/span> \u2018n cheese and Pillsbury biscuits. @succulentbite posted a video in the fall putting Pillsbury biscuits in a deep and narrow pan, piling mac \u2018n cheese, gouda, and butter, and wrapping the biscuit dough over top to bake.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Every <\/span>insider secret I know about Taylor Swift is from TikTok. Swiftok is legit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve <\/span>learned a lot of COVID-19 vaccine facts, though I know you should double-check these.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Color-coded <\/span>tabs for Google Chrome.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
