Instagram Stories VS. Snapchat Stories: Which Picture You Usually See
Emily Henrichs

In This Article:

Instagram and Snapchat are two of the biggest social media platforms. Both contain a thing referred to as a story. You can post videos or pictures on your stories for all of your followers to see. However, there are differences between the two.

1. Instagram Story - Do I want ALL of these people to see this?

So, you have something you want to share, but it's a little weird. You're trying to decide if it should go on Instagram or not. This, this picture right here, definitely should NOT go on my Instagram story.

2. Snapchat Story - Alright, this seems like a better place to post.

You probably post something you only want your friends to see rather than people of people you know. Let's be honest, Snapchat is a weird place and you never know what you're going to see.

3. Instagram Story - "Happy," "birthday," "to," "my," "best friend"

I have never once seen this on Snapchat.

4. Snapchat Story - "Lol, *Ashley* is slam-dunk drunk again."

Personally, I have seen too many snaps of people who are having a little too much fun.

5. Instagram Story - Look at the sunset!!

Typical post for Insta.

6. Snapchat Story - *No idea what is happening*

Self explanatory.

7. Instagram Story - Happy moments

Hanging with pals!! Fun times!! Whatever else you want!!

8. Snapchat Story - "A glimpse of what life looks like with....."

I do it all the time. I'll post a conversation with my brother because I think it's hilarious, but I would never put it on Instagram.

9. Instagram Story - Multiple text

On Instagram, you have the ability to put multiple blocks of text.

10. Snapchat Story - You can type multiple lines, but you can't split it up

On Snapchat, you do not have that luxury.

11. Instagram Story - You can't swipe up unless you have 10k followers

Why????

12. Snapchat Story - You CAN swipe up!

Thank you, Snap! You're the real MVP.

In conclusion, Instagram and Snapchat stories are quite different. It's up to you to decide your favorite.

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.
