5 Apps To Elevate Your Instagram Game

For all the Instagrammers who once wished their feed was as aesthetic and attractively pleasant as others out there, this list is for you.

These 5 apps will not only upgrade your picture game, but when taken a few minutes learning how to work with them it will make the editing a lot easier, and faster.

1. VSCO

This app is a must-have for a beautifully aesthetic feed. It lets you chose within numerous effect packages, in which a lot of them are free, and also allows you to make basic edits to your pictures (such as lighting and different picture cuts).

If you don't like to spend much time on planning posts, just throw a picture here and it'll only take a few minutes for you to step up your picture game. A big plus for those striking to have a monochromatic feed is that the app saves to your edits to its journal, so can keep an eye on them and see if they correlate.

2. Snapseed


My favorite app for editing pictures. The tool section gives you a lot of freedom to play with the light, shadow, and other areas, but something really special about this app is the brush and selective tools. Both of them give you the freedom to edit lighting, color and other aspects in only certain parts of the picture rather than the whole.

3. UNUM

This is your ultimate secret for an upgrade to your Instagram game. The main idea is that it lets you reschedule your Instagram posts and gives you a look at how your feed will be. There are other interesting tools in there that lets you track your follows, see the average likes and comments, and the best times to post.

4. Lightroom

An alternative to Snapseed, this one is also a photo editing app that gives you a lot of freedom to play around the tools in the picture. Usually a favorite for Photoshop fans.

5. Facetune

This app has some useful tools for some quick picture touches. Don't go by the rules in this one and use to tools to your advantage, for example, makeup tools for changing colors in specific parts of your photo, or the retouch tool to let the background unfocused.

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.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
