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.

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
