23 Thoughts While Posting An Instagram

If you use Instagram the right way, you know how critical the process of posting a photo can be. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into creating the successful Instagram post. Those who are dedicated to maintaining the perfect Instagram account are plagued with a constant anxiety of whether or not the correct filter was chosen, if the caption was funny enough and many more conflicts like these. If you're like me, (basic AF), these thoughts have probably crossed your mind while posting an Instagram:

1. Is this photo really Instagram worthy?

2. Maybe it would do better on VSCO.

3. I'll ask the group chat.


4. Instagram it is.

5. Now, the editing stage.

6. Should I use one of those fancy editing apps that makes me look 20 pounds lighter and three shades darker?


7. Of course I should.

8. Perhaps I overdid it on the old editing. I don't even look like myself.


9. Let's just stick to the original filters.

10. Lo-Fi makes me look tan, but I love a good black and white photo.

11. Here comes the hardest decision of them all: the caption.


12. I've got to come up with something witty.

13. I need the approval from the group chat before I post.


14. Wait a second- am I posting at a prime time?

15. Whatever, it'll get plenty of likes.

16. Okay- 1, 2, 3, POST!


17. "Everyone go like my Instagram, I just posted!"

18. My like-to-minute ratio is not what I expected.


19. Should I delete it?

20. No, I have faith. My followers are loyal likers.

21. At what time is it acceptable for me to like my own Instagram?

22. Screw it. *Double tap*


23. Another successful Instagram.

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.

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.
