If you're anything like me, you probably adore Pinterest, and the world of wonderful ideas, cute photos, and delicious recipes it holds. There are many ways to use Pinterest, but the best part is that you can make your Pinterest page anything you want it to be. It's entirely up to you! Here's eleven creative ways to use Pinterest, just to get you started!

1. Cheesy quotes

Giphy

To me, life's all about those cliche quotes that get you through the toughest and brightest of days and warm your heart each and every time you read them. The great thing is, Pinterest is full of them!

2. Fashion

Giphy

I myself have two different fashion boards on my Pinterest page: a spring/summer style board and a fall/winter style board, but you could even break up your fashion boards into categories of each of the four seasons! (Psst...sometimes posts even contain links to places with cheap but trendy clothing items!)

3. Future home decor

Giphy

We all have the image in our head of our future dream house, and everything it contains. Pinterest contains ideas of the most beautiful home setups, from cozy fireplace displays to bedroom layout ideas. I mean, I know I'm a long way off from owning a home, but a girl can dream, right?

4. Hair and makeup goals

Giphy

I'm one of those girls that get bored of my same old daily makeup and hair routines. Luckily, Pinterest is full of ideas for unique hairstyles, as well as for makeup ideas for a night out, or simple everyday looks. The ideas are endless, let me tell you!

5. Yummy recipes

Giphy

Being a broke college kid who's never really cooked before, I rely heavily on Pinterest to bring me new recipe ideas and even tips for healthy snacking. Whether you're making food for you and your boy, or serving up an appetizer for a party, Pinterest has it all!

6. Perfect picture ideas

Giphy

Okay, I am aware that this particular way to use Pinterest is super basic, but I love it. Various photos from peoples' VSCO and Instagram accounts will pop up on my feed, and it will totally inspire me to take similar pictures with my friends. Nothing makes me happier than an adorable picture with my bestie.

7. Miscellaneous tings

Giphy

As previously stated, you can make a board for just about anything on Pinterest. I even have a board where I post miscellaneous things that I find adorable or simply comforting, such as pictures of cute animals, beautiful flowers, and silly sayings.

8. Dream wedding planning

Giphy

I'm that girl that has been fantasizing about her wedding since she was a kid. On my wedding board on Pinterest, I save ideas for my dress, my reception, wedding photo ideas, my ceremony...everything in between. When the day comes, I'll have Pinterest to thank for making wedding planning less stressful and more enjoyable, as it's supposed to be.

9. Fitness tips

Giphy

There are some beautiful-bodied Pinterest users out there! You can find everything related to health and fitness on Pinterest, from workout ideas to post-workout stretches to the cutest of athletic outfits to wear to the gym. If Pinterest doesn't inspire you to achieve your dream body, nothing will.

10. Faith

Giphy

I'm all about my love for God, and I can even incorporate my religion into my Pinterest page! I'm constantly finding beautiful bible verses that I've never heard before, as well as new prayers and devotions. I see God everywhere in my life, even on Pinterest!

11. Entertainment inspiration

Giphy

In the little bit of downtime that I have as a college student, I enjoy reading books, listening to music, and watching movies. Pinterest is full of various entertainment ideas that are right up your alley, I'm sure of it. Your next read: inspired by Pinterest.

The bottom line is, your Pinterest page can be anything, but most of all, it should represent YOU, who YOU are, and what YOU stand for. You do you, boo!

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

For better or for worse

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
