The Unwritten Rules Of Instagram

We can all agree on one thing: we spend way too much time on Instagram. And for that matter, it's important to know the do's and don'ts of Instagram.

1. One photo per day, please.

I will only like one of your pictures, so if you double, or even worse, triple Instagram in one day, you can assure yourself you aren't getting my likes. You may be important, but not that important to get all those likes.

2. Know the days of the week.

You got your Selfie Sunday, Man Crush Monday, Transformation Tuesday, Woman Crush Wednesday, Throwback Thursday, Flashback Friday, and Saturday—well, those are usually the drunk pictures you don't recall posting.

3. Likes for likes, always.

If I am continually liking your pictures and am receiving no love in return, you best believe I will be unfollowing you.

4. Filters and editing are crucial.

Make sure you use a filter but don't overdo it. If you look as orange as an Oompa Loompa, it's obvious you really jacked up the saturation on that picture.

5. Hashtags.

We all love the hashtags, but just don't overdo it. #knowyourlimit

6. Caption game on point.

You better have a killer caption. if you can't think of even a semi-fitting caption, then I can't think of a valid reason to like your picture.

7. Refrain from the collages.

Picstitch was so 2012—at all costs please attempt to not post a collage of a bunch of pictures you can't even really distinguish between.

8. Always remain Instagram active.

If you only post two photos a year, are you even worthy of being called an Instagrammer? People like you shouldn't even be allowed access into their account after so many weeks apart from it.

9. Be a careful creeper.

If you're going to be 68 weeks deep into someone's profile, you better be extra careful of that liking finger. Try explaining that mishap to the person the next time you run into them. #awkward

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.
