Scrolling through your daily Instagram feed you'll usually see the same typical photos, duck face selfies, sorority girl pictures, celebrity photos, artistic sunsets, or even someone's outfit of the day. Looking through these pictures every single day gets old. The simple solution to spice up your news feed is to make yourself a fake Instagram (a finsta). And if that has not already convinced you, here are 10 reasons that should:
1. There is no need to stress about getting likes.
On your real Instagram account, the amount of likes you get is important. Getting over 5 likes on your finsta is super exciting.
2. It doesn’t take an hour to pick the right edit.
No one cares if you use Vsco or Instasize, your photo is beautiful the way it is. #noedit really comes in clutch.
3. It’s perfectly acceptable to like your own photo.
(On your real account too)
4. The pictures you post all express who you truly are.
Posting 100 pictures of your dog, your favorite Netflix shows, and your late night munchies is acceptable.
5. Your followers are handpicked to your liking.
Because you’re on private, you can let whoever you want follow you. Not to mention that only your true friends will appreciate your posts.
6. Your caption is a perfect place to vent about all the problems in your life.
Especially when your ex-boyfriend does something to piss you off and you can call him out without him ever seeing.
7. When you feel like you aren’t getting enough likes on your real photo, a like from yourself is always a nice confidence boost.
It’s important to go from 99 to 100 likes.
8. Ugly photos of yourself will never go to waste in your camera roll.
The infamous ugly photos you take with your friends can be shared to make your followers day a little bit brighter.
9. Creative usernames are encouraged.
Employers can’t find you if your username is a pun separated by 3 underscores.
10. All unspoken Instagram rules are disregarded.
You can basically do whatever you want, as long as it gets a laugh or two.
11. Everybody's doing it.
Once you make a finsta, so will your friends. It's a new trend!
