10 Ways College Changes Your Instagram For The Better

It might seem silly, but I think we all care about our Instagram feed more than we'd like to admit.

10 Ways College Changes Your Instagram For The Better
Heidi Grae

If you’re anything like me, you care a little too much about your Instagram. You’ve probably spent months experimenting with different filters to figure out which one best fits your vibe. And now that you’ve found your perfect filter, you wouldn’t dare to even consider using a different one. If you’re really insane, (like me) you probably even have an app where you can see what your photos will look like on your feed before you post them, because nobody wants to post a photo only to find out after that it messes up your entire aesthetic that you’ve been crafting for months. When you get to college, there are a few things that are going to change about your Instagram. No matter how much you might try to fight it, it’s going to happen.

1. So Many Campus Pictures

If your college’s campus is even half as pretty as mine, you’re going to want to take cute pics of it every single day.

2. Cute Pictures of Your Dog

You miss your dog like crazy and will constantly remind everyone of that by posting a bunch of cute pictures of them. And when you visit home and finally get to see them again, you’ll be sure to post a photo, or two, letting everyone know just how happy you are.

3. SO. MANY. ROOMMATE. PICS.

You and your roommate accidentally matching? Instagram. You and your roommate went to a concert? Instagram. Your roommate went home for the weekend and you miss them? Instagram. You just love your roommate so much? Definitely Instagram.

4. Sappy Photos of Your Siblings

If you have younger siblings that you sadly had to leave behind, you will definitely post really sweet and sappy photos of them all the time. (Especially if they have a birthday in the middle of the week when you can’t go home.)

5. Aesthetic Studying Picture

I should at least be able to get a good Instagram out of the torture of studying, right?

6. FINALLY Cute Pictures of You

No more awkward selfies in your bedroom or shaky pics that your mom took. You can now make your friends take cute Instagram photos for you because you’ll be taking photos of them too.

7. Concert/Going Out Photos

I go to college in Nashville. So, concert photos have become very common on my Instagram. Even if you don’t go to a crazy amount of concerts, you’ll still be posting every time you go out and do fun things with your friends.

8. Visiting Home Pics

For me, home is all the way on the other side of the country. This means that I get at least one good plane window post every time I visit for a weekend or longer break.

9. City Pics of Your New Home

Living somewhere new and living apart from your parents for the first time is so exciting. You will constantly be exploring your new city, and you’re obviously going to want to document that on your Instagram.

10. Tons of Food Posts

The times that you splurge and go out to eat, instead of just going to the caf, are extremely special times. You are definitely going to want everyone to know just how amazing that meal was, especially after spending money that you don’t even have on it.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
