Honestly, watching the videos made me more excited to return to San Luis Obispo just because I was ready to see what Cal Poly students would make their Tik Toks about.
Other hit trends also include: proving that students are the main character with the Lana Del Rey song “Mariners Apartment Complex” in the background, day in the life videos and the “yeah mom I’m fitting in at .” Students have also used Tik Tok to talk about issues on campus like Cal Poly’s Covid-19 response, the Lambda Chi Alpha Blackface scandal and how white the campus is.
Most of the recent Tik Toks being made on the Cal Poly tag are being made by freshmen.
As Cal Poly is the whitest university in California, it would only make sense that the Cal Poly tag would also be about white people.
By doing this I still feel productive and I usually get a good laugh out of it all,” said Sanchez.
