What Your Instagram Bio Says About You

The bio is the window to the soul.

What Your Instagram Bio Says About You

Instagram is the place to share your life in photographs, and while social media isn't full of substance, it's still a great place to show some creativity. What's just as important as the photos you post is your bio. You know, that little blurb that tells everyone who you are and what you're about. There's a few routes you can take to get the perfect bio made for you.


An inspirational quote.

You find the most profound quote that perfectly describes your life, and whenever someone taps to your profile, they'll see you are a well-read, insightful individual... or you've been really in your feels lately and found the perfect quote on Pinterest.

Your VSCO link.

You are ~artsy~ and you're totally into photography. Your VSCO is sort of like the extended cut of your Instagram. Every photo on your profile is on preset C1 and you're all about aesthetics.

"Hometown|College|Sorority."

Oh you know you've seen this one, or this is your bio right now. And why not? It's short, sweet, to the point, and it eliminates any questions. "Where is she from?" Look at the bio. "I wonder where she goes to school?" Look at the bio. "Is she in a sorority?" Look. at. the. bio.

The student athlete.

You're on the grind and working day in and day out, you deserve a little humble brag. Think about those student athlete memes and put that in your Instagram bio. The more emojis, the more dedication you have.

"Public Figure."

You're an Instagram model, "fitness guru" or blogger. You've racked up those followers and thanks to the new update, you can tell the world (well, you can tell Instagram) that you're a pretty big deal.

Emoji's.

They say a picture's worth a thousand words... so an Emoji must be worth even more. Who has time for quotes or descriptions, just throw in a few of these bad boys to really get your message across. Are you basic? Drop the avocado emoji. Do you treat yo self with some McDonald's regularly? The french fries emoji is perfect! Do you only attract good vibes? Try out the sunflower emoji and maybe throw in the crystal ball.

No bio at all.

What a maverick move. You don't have to explain yourself in a 140 character slot, people will figure it out on your own. It is only Instagram after all...

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.

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.

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.
