A "finsta" or fake instagram is a private account where you accept only your closest friends/family and post funny/embarrassing things about your life. It is somewhat of a dying trend, but I brought it back for myself and love it more than any other social media platform. To convince you to make a finsta, I will even dive into the embarrassing depths of mine.

1. Show off your true fashion statements without worrying about the weekly trend

2. You can post all the pictures that you wanted to Instagram, but didn't because you were afraid of "posting too much"

3. You can make fun of all of your day's shortcomings and disappointments.

5. You can actually be a RELATABLE HUMAN BEING without worrying about how many likes you get (gasp)

6. You can post embarrassing pictures of your friends without them caring

7. When you look back on your posts, they will more accurately describe your life events than your rinsta, because it's not just always about the picture perfect moments.

8. It will tell you who your true friends are. If they can't see you for your silly and real self, then reconsider.

9. You can make fun of yourself and are reminded not to take life too seriously.

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.
