12 Instagram Captions That Are Overused
Press Zero

Everyone scrolls through their news feed and internally sighs at the basic pictures and captions they see in every other posts. Here's a few of the numerous things everyone sees on Instagram.

1. Fourth of July Posts

A girl standing by a tree in her front yard with an American flag wrapped around her body while dressed in a crop top and cutoffs, with the caption "Happy 2016th Birthday America <3"

Okay y'all, America isn't 2016 years old. Anyone who took a history class in middle school knows that.

2. Pictures with an "Almost" Significant Other

A girl either standing in a purposefully goofy pose with her soon-to-be boyfriend, or the usual post of her with her hands around his waist. The caption almost 100% of the time being: "I guess he's alright ;)"

One of the most overused captions ever. And everyone knows y'all are basically dating already anyway, so just put a label on it already!

3. First Day of Fall "TBT" Pics

A picture of a girl either by herself or with her best friends in bathing suits on the beach, with the caption "Missing summer and my best friends </3"

The caption should actually mean: "I miss my bikini body, but I don't miss having to worry about what I look like under my clothes". We've all been there.

4. Snow Day Pictures

Every girl goes outside, dressed up all cute on a snow day so she can get her picture taken in the good lighting. The picture usually ends up being one of her blowing snow out of her hands towards the camera, wearing excessive amounts of blush.

We've all seen these on every snow day, every single year.

5. Birthday Collages

OMG IT'S MY BFF'S BIRTHDAY! *insert essay about how amazing the best friend is, mentioning every funny moment they've ever had ever* Pictures in the collage are pictures that the person posting looks great in, but not so much for the birthday girl.

Shame on you if you do this.

6. Concert Pics

Don't be the girl that goes to the concert just for the Instagram post. Let's be honest, you only know three songs, but you went anyway so you could say you did. Usual pictures include concert crop tops or dresses, along with the caption that has a pun inserted in the band's popular lyrics.

7. Breakup Selfies

A girl usually making the duck face, with the caption "Single and ready for a Pringle".

Just... stop.

8. Hot Dogs or Legs?

Beach pictures, but just of the girl's legs on her artsy beach towel with the caption "Beachin' <3" Her friends' comments are sure to include the question, "Hot dogs or legs?" and a lot of fire emojis.

9. Philosophical Selfies

A regular selfie, but with an inspirational caption pulled from Tumblr or 1st Corinthians 13.

10. Squad Pictures

A regular picture of a guy and his buddies, but with the caption "Squad" or "My boys".

If a guy posts on Instagram, it's most likely going to be this or a picture of his car.

11. Anniversary Posts

It's been 3 months since you guys started dating, so it's time for a picture of flowers and a dinner table with the caption: "Three amazing months with this guy, looking forward to many more. <3"

Gag. No one really cares but you two. I can't say I haven't done this, but I definitely do regret doing this.

12. Endless Hashtags

A picture of a girls legs and feet with cute shoes on, with the caption "It feels amazing outside today :) #amazing #outside #shoes #warm #cute #sunny #demlegstho #love #likeforlike

We all hate this. Please, please, stop. Please.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
