Instagram: the hotspot to share your fave pictures and videos with your friends. And yet, you scroll down your feed and see the same thing everyday. A nice meal, someone's dog, a girl and her boyfriend, the same girl and her best friend, some guy without a shirt, and a workout video that makes you want to get off of your phone and run a mile. But, with the same pictures comes the same captions. Here are 13 basic captions I see daily on Insta that NEED to go.
1. "He's alright"
In referring to your boyfriend. Everyone knows your madly in love and stalk his social media daily, you're not fooling anyone.
2. "Every brunette needs a blonde best friend"
Hold the phone... your friend has a different hair color than you?! Stop the presses, who would've thought?
3. "I love you to the moon and back"
Wow. That's SO far.
4. "Favorite/Fave"
Referring to your best friend. We all know you have this as your caption with at least 5 other people. Nice try.
5. "Squad"
Referring to a pic with 5 or more people. Congrats, you have more than one friend. Are they all your "faves" too?
6. "Good vibes"
You are SO zen. Hope you loved your 7am yoga class, Becky.
7. "Dinner/Formal/Any event with this guy"
Who is "this guy" and why is he in everyone's pictures?
8. "____ game strong"
Could be a selfie, could be a workout, could be eyebrows. The world may never know.
9. "No caption needed"
Obviously there is one needed if you feel the need to write it's not needed.
10. "The definition of our friendship"
This is most likely a candid of you and your best friend laughing. Not original. Try again.
11. "*Any destination ever*, I am in you"
Creepy way to think of things. Stop.
12. "Dysfunctional"
I can think of many more dysfunctional things than you and your friends "falling" or your quirky candid.
13. Just some random emojis with no correlation to the picture.
Is a caption still not needed?
Yes, I will admit I have used a few of these, but in my defense I was a freshman in high school. Having a basic caption isn't the end of the world, but it gets tiring seeing 15 pictures in a row with one. Please continue posting pics of you and your sorority sisters posing, or you and your friends at a party, but for my sanity, boost the caption creativity just a tad. You'll thank me later.
