October 20th, 2020160 Yeah I got addicted to TikTok over quarantine. Just like everyone else my age. There was nothing to do but scroll through the random videos that popped up on my endless For You Page. But now, I’m glad I did. TikTok works differently than other mainstream social media platforms.

January 28th, 2020230 Growing up playing basketball with the boys, I developed a huge love for the game at a young age.  We played everyday. Before school, during recess, after school. I’d go home and shoot around until it was dark; we all did. We grew up idolizing players like LeBron, Carmelo and D-Wade. And of course, Kobe Bryant. His untimely...
