I Triple-Post On Instagram And I'm Not Sorry

I literally could not stress anymore just how not sorry I actually am.

Hi, my name is Emily, and I have a problem.

I enjoy my life, probably a majority of the time. When I'm not overloaded with academics, sorority responsibilities, two jobs, and a myriad of other tasks I assume the responsibility of, life is usually okay. During this okay-ish journey throughout my life, I tend to photograph my experiences, activities, and the other escapades of my journey. Which, to my joy and everyone else's annoyance, usually leads to double-posting, if not triple-posting, on Instagram.

And I'm not sorry.

I take pictures to document memories. Whether those memories are an adventure into nature's beauty, a significant event or holiday, or even just me feeling myself and my makeup that day, they're memories to me. I want to remember how I feel, how I look, how everything around me looked in each and every moment I deem significant. I can remember everything about a moment when I look at the photo that documented it, and that's so special to me.

A lot of these moments may happen during the same day, maybe even during the same event, thus leading to having several cute pictures that I think deserve to be broadcast to the entire Internet (because that's just how my ego is).

Yes, Instagram has that "select multiple photos" thing now, but there are two problems with that. The first, not all of your photos can fit into the size that option forces the photos to be in. You can't expand it like you can normal photos, so unless it is visually appealing in square form, forget it. Second, sometimes there are some photos that deserve more attention than others. You know what I mean. Sometimes you look better in one photo than the other, sometimes it's just more aesthetically pleasing, or maybe sometimes you just think it would do better on Instagram than some other ones would. It's a fact, and there's no shame in my game.

I've decided it's safer that my Instagram biography just states, "Yes, I post too much," followed by all the stereotypical things college students include in a social media biography. People honestly just expect it.

Life is beautiful. I think anything from a sorority event, to a birthday party, to seeing friends I haven't seen in a hot minute, to the rare instance of a selfie I think I actually look good in deserves to be appreciated and celebrated in the beautiful moment that it was.

So yeah, I may post three pictures on Instagram the same day, but just know that I'm not sorry about it. It's my life, and I'll live it how I choose, and that's through documenting and appreciating every second of it.

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.
