It’s time to turn the saturation up on this app and put it in the spotlight

The Truth About The VSCO App
Bella Moulthrop

VSCO. VSCO is an up and coming editing app that teens and creative adults are using today to not just edit their photos they want to post. Whether it's choosing between A6 and C1, making a DSCO (a boomerang), or just trying to be a 'basic vsco user', there's so much more that this app has to offer.

Now with the app VSCO, people have the ability to post whatever content they want. With the simple feed just like a regular social media app like Instagram or Twitter, scrolling through aesthetically pleasing photos has become a norm for most.

One feature that I love about this app is that you can't see who other people are following or who people follow. You are only able to see your own content followers and who you choose to follow. This feature allows it to be a more subtle social media app because there are no commenting, and likes, the person that posted the photo is only able to see the amount of likes and republishes.

I love this feature because it allows others to not be as self conscious about how many likes they get or have it be a game of who has the most followers. This app has a 'chill' aspect that other social media's don't offer.

You are the creator. Whatever you post on this site makes you the creator of all the content you choose to publish. Some people try to create a theme or just post whatever their heart desires. This app gives people the power to bring out the creative side in people by simply just applying a filter on a photo and maybe turning the saturation up +.5 or the grain +.7.

Another one of my favorite things about this app is that you can really see a person's life through their vsco. Since there's no socially acceptable level to how much or little you post, the sky 's the limit. Scrolling through a users VSCO is a timeline of any moment they chose to capture, and every picture within it has its own story.

One feature that I also adore is using VSCO journal. This portion of the app allows the users to create a blog like post and compile several pictures and add captions to them. Making a VSCO journal makes it easier to post all your pictures from one time in one place, or post several pictures from say a year and compile them to reminisce you're year that you had with captions to explain every picture in place.

Republishing someone else's photo on this app is just like retweeting something on twitter. If a person republishes a picture then the picture shows up on their feed just like sharing a picture that someone else has posted. This gives the social media app an aspect of sharing without a hassle.

Whether it's a beach picture, your coffee in the morning, a netflix quote, or a candid photo of your best friend. I have found that VSCO is the friendliest social media app there is.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
