0 CommentsIn honor of recent Tiktok restriction legislation, here are some types of TikToks which capture the ethos of various Columbia and Barnard majors. Some are pretty broad and some are increasingly specific. All came up on my (an anthropology major’s) for you page, which I think says something about us. Not sure what.
Political Science: romanticizing the Columbia lifestyle, you all seem to be the most into the dark academic NYC student aesthetic.

Philosophy: philosophy quote/theory slideshows. Bonus if it’s memes.

Earth Sciences (Geology): Insane cave exploration videos. You just had to find that one specific rock, huh, and now you have to dislocate all of your joints to get out.

Anthropology (Sociocultural): videos that capture people doing their thing in life without being creepy about it—that’s the idea I guess.

Mathmatics: trig equation edits. Pretty self-explanatory. People really edit everything.

Physics: Physics equation/concept edits. I don’t understand them but honestly, they go hard.
@khongtho_gian via TikTok
Honorable Physics Mention: climbing videos, just so one of you can explain how these are physically possible.

Visual Arts: videos calling attention to unique art pieces.

Dance: it’s where TikTok started right? I will never participate, but sometimes people just look like they’re having the best time moving their bodies, and that’s what it’s all about, right?
@notorlandolucas via TikTok
@isabell.lindstrm via TikTok
Honorable Dance Mention: West Coast swing improv TikToks seem to embody the true spirit of the dance majors I’ve met better than like ballet-core coquette videos, they both seem to genuinely enjoy moving their bodies. It will never not blow my mind that these are improvised.

All my friends deleted Tiktok, so this has fulfilled my desire to send people videos. Hopefully, someone enjoys them.
