Life in College Quarantine: Students and Their TikToks for the Win

We’ve tried to stay away from throwing shade at colleges and universities because we know how hard they’ve worked to get our kids back on campus.

But, please forgive us, these are really funny.

Conner took to TikTok to review the items he got in his University’s Covid care package. Hilarity ensued.

Coming in at number 5 is the clear mask he got that fogs up whenever he speaks. He says that he “understands why it exists,” but finds it terrifying. In 4th place is the “tiny hand sanitizer that smells like cheap liquor” that made him gag. The description of all of them items is hilarious.

And at NYU students have taken to TikTok to complain about their quarantine meals. Ricardo Sheler’s TikTok went viral after he posted a video of the opening up of his Chicken Cesar Salad dinner.

Dinner actually end up being chips, an apple and vinaigrette dressing. But the great news is that three hours after he posted the TikTok, Ricardo’s RA brought him “food reparations in the form of a lot of food.” He got over 2 million views on TikTok, he was featured on the local news and he got to talk to Net’s player, Kevin Durant.
