The Basic White Boy's Insta

When scrolling through your guy friend’s Instagrams, there seems to be a theme: every guy has the same 11 photos on rotate. While you all may not realize this immediately, these are the top photos that you will find on your daily Insta scroll.

1. The fish pic

Every basic white boy has this pic. There he is, on some lake in the summertime, wearing a cutoff t-shirt, holding a fish that he caught. The best part about this pic is that you'll find multiple copies of this pic on their account.

2. The casual shirtless pic

Another obligatory picture for the white boy that can come in many forms. In this pic, he’s probably wearing his Ray Bans… most definitely shirtless, tan and holding a beer. You go boy, rock those American flag chubbies.

3. The cigar pic

A total classic. He’s puffing on a cigar with his dad/brothers/friends, probably at his high school graduation. Did he even graduate if he didn’t Insta a cigar pic?

4. The fam pic

No basic white boy’s Instagram is complete without the fam pic. Show us how caring and compassionate you are with a pic of you and your fam. Too cute.


5. The bro pic

Ah the bro pic, my personal favorite. It’s best if this photo is a selfie, preferably taken in your friend’s basement or on your boat. #brosforlife


6. The frat house pic

Basic white boys love to post a pic of their frat house on their Instagram. You’ll always find a pic of the outside of the house lit up for the holidays and a picture taken inside during one of their ragers.


7. The sunset pic

Everyone loves a good sunset pic: especially white boys. The photo is not complete without the ‘nofilter’ hashtag


8. The sports pic

A must have for the basic white boys. Whether it’s a picture of him winning his high school lacrosse championship or a mid-shot game; you’ll find this pic on every basic white boy’s Instagram

9. The dog pic

Every basic white boy has a picture of his dog on Instagram. The dog is so cute and the fact that he captioned it ‘my favorite girl’ makes it even cuter. #awhe

10. The baby pic

Basic white boys love the #tbt baby pic. EvenHey ___!

11. The mom pic


Everyone knows that a good boy loves his mother. What better way to show their appreciation than to post a pic on Instagram?

Boys, please keep posting these pictures. We, basic white girls of Instagram, are also guilty of posting the same pictures over and over.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
