22 Songs To Use As Your Insta Caption
Katelyn Elumbaugh

We all know it can be difficult to pick a good caption that matches the bomb selfie we took. Sometimes you just need that lyric that makes your ex wonder. So when you can't seem to find the perfect fit, have a look through these perfectly written lyrics.

1. "My mind runs away to you, with a thought I hope you'll see." - "Make It to Me" by Sam Smith

This is the perfect hit for a black and white selfie, to make it all that more serious.

2. "Your man's hatin', probably 'cause his girl love me." - "Rolex" by Ayo & Teo

This bubbly, dance hit and a Snapchat dog filter selfie make a perfect match.

3. "Dancing in the dark in the pale moonlight." - "Summertime Sadness" by Lana Del Rey

When summer comes to a close, this lyric is perfect for the "last day at the beach, feet in the sand" picture.

4. "When you're young, you just run." - "This Love" by Taylor Swift

Use this to-the-point lyric to grab the attention of that cute boy who just followed you.

5. "There's nothing wrong with just a taste of what you paid for." - "The Ballad of Mona Lisa" by Panic! At the Disco

Let your old, inner-emo come out as this lyric pairs with a headphones-in selfie.

6. "I heard you like bad girls, honey, is that true?" - "Video Games" by Lana Del Rey

Sunglasses and attitudes with your girls? Slap this sassy quote on that post.

7. "I'm way to gone to have you on my mind." - "Somewhere on A Beach" by Dierks Bentley

Post a picture of your beach set up, letting your ex that you are doing just fine.

8. "And I wonder like a troubled mind." - "Troubled Times" by Green Day

For that grungy, rebel-like OOTD that you can't wait to show off.

9. "C'mon you can't deny that you and I kinda fit like a glove." - "Break Up With Him" by Old Dominion

When you post a random picture of your stack of homework that you are trying to avoid, use this lyric and maybe, just maybe, you're crush will like it.

10. "It's alright to keep it light now, mama, don't you think?" - "Lovin' You is Fun" by Easton Corbin

For those already in a relationship, this one is perfect for that silly selfie that you and your boo-thang took on your latest date.

11. "A little too young and dumb to see just what it all meant to me." - "Raised On It" by Sam Hunt

Was it even a summer night, if you don't post a picture of you and your bff by the fire?

12. "You wanna make it right, but now it's too late." - "Redbone" by Childish Gambino

It only seems fitting to use this on that perfect selfie that your old flame will comment on.

13. "Sitting in the middle of the flame still burning, boy, I ain't your match." - "XO" by Kelsea Ballerini

Perfect for, either, a post-breakup picture or a literal fire for a tbt post.

14. "I was doing alright but just your sight had my heart storming." - "Hurricane" by Luke Combs

Ex got you in your feelings? Use this lyric, and that way if anyone asks, it's actually from a song.

15. "Still got sand in my sweaters from nights I don't remember." - "i hate you, i love you" by gnash feat. Olivia O'Brien

Because who doesn't like posting sunset pictures with depressing quotes?

16. "Let the flood take away all my pictures of you." - "Clean" by Taylor Swift

Cleaning up social media? Trying to start a new Instagram theme? Let all your followers know that you have a clean slate.

17. "And until then I'll smile and hide the truth." - "Happier" by Ed Sheeran

Yet another depressing quote, for those nights that you're feeling a bit blue.

18. "Tell me that that lonely little heart of yours that I've been dying for ain't out of reach." - "Private Fears in Public Places" by Front Porch Step

Hope for the hopeless, and love for the hopeless romantics. It is a perfect mix of both.

19. "Like fire in my veins, you're my ecstasy." - "H.O.L.Y" by Florida Georgia Line

This entire song is caption-worthy, so it is difficult to pin-point a specific post it would match with.

20. "Lose our minds, break our hearts, and learn to play guitar." - "There's A Girl" by Trent Harmon

Because guys have trouble with captions too.

21. "Forever now, forever now you'll roam." - "Outlaws" by Green Day

This one is good for the 'wanderlust' photos you took on your latest trip.

22. "When your phone rings after midnight and you're thinking maybe it's me, gonna make you miss me." - "Make You Miss Me" by Sam Hunt

For that special post that you make when your confidence is high, your smile is wide, and your heart is full.


Let's be honest, Instagram captions are difficult to choose when you are trying to fit an aesthetic. So as a fellow Instagram user, take my advice. Lyrics can say exactly what you need them to.

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.

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.

208171

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.
