16 Types of Instagrammers
TechCrunch

In todays day and age social media has practically taken over our lives, including the ever so popular platform known as "Instagram." I have one, you have one, and I'm sure almost everyone we both know has one. And everyone on Instagram is different, but most can be sorted into the following categories of types of Instagrammers.

1. The over-poster

They post way too often, usually at least twice a day when they're active, and you find your feed full of nothing but them. Not to mention the six pictures from that one night out are basically the same. Sometimes you wonder why you even bother following them in the first place.

2. The foodie

Every other photo is from brunch to dinner, featuring aesthetically perfect waffles, latte art coffees, and decadently baked mac and cheeses. And every time you see them post you suddenly feel the urge to go out to whatever new place they're trying. Talk about food porn.

3. The hashtagger

#throwbackthursday #squad #girls #nature #tree #sun #ootd #party #lovethem #summer #perfect #dontmess #makeup #friends #gorgeous #food. Need I say more?

4. The narcissist

This person only posts photos of them-self. Always alone and typically a selfie. Their entire feed features them-only, and sometimes you wonder if they even have any friends, or if they're just that much in love with themselves. We get it, you're pretty, stop rubbing it in every five seconds.

5. The ghost

They made their account years ago and like all your photos, but their own page is completely empty. To be honest, you're not really sure what they even look like, or why they have an account in the first place. But they give you the likes, so who really cares right?

6. The show off

Fancy cars, expensive jewelry, and anything else mommy and daddy's money can buy fills this person 'gram and at some point everyone wishes they were them. And when we aren't aspiring to be that rich, were hating on them for rubbing it in all the time. A little conceited, aren't they?

7. The inspirational quoter

This person focuses less on the photos and more on the captions they so carefully pick out to inspire their followers and bring tears to their eyes. That sunset could represent the end of a difficult time, and that tree could be the gift of life. Whatever is it, you always find this person to be clever and sometimes wish you had the effort to be the same way.

8. The greek lifer

Kegs, funnels, "Saturdays are for the Boys" signs, and sorority squats are the basis of this persons account. Their bio is their letters, and so is half of what they wear in their pics. That is, when their not dressing up for themed mixers. You'll also find "little, big" photos, tapestry backgrounds, and shotgunning videos throughout their feed.

9. The celeb

Everyone follows celebrities on Instagram. Maybe it's Kylie Jenner, and maybe it's Drake, but either way you find yourself compelled to follow their life and envy their growing number of followers and likes. There's also that one person from high school that gained thousands of followers and is practically "insta famous" leaving you always wondering why and how they got there.

10. The party animal

The pictures on this persons account are filled with tallboys and red solo cups. They feature beginning of the night outfit show offs and dysfunctional group selfies from when everyone is too drunk too care what they look like. And most of their captions are popular song lyrics played from where they were the night before. Don't be surprised if they don't remember taking half their pictures and post about it.

11. The photographer

Rather than show off photos of themselves and their everyday life, this person chooses to showcase their talents of photography and editing by posting beautiful landscapes and photos of other people. Imagine the city at night, a boat perfectly placed on a lake, or a friend posing in a photo shoot-because that's most likely what you'll find on their account.

12. The makeup addict

Tutorial videos and before and after pictures are the main focus of this persons 'gram. Not to mention the all-out glam faces they put on for a night on the town. You always wonder how they're so good at what they do, and how they can afford all those products. And then you'll attempt it yourself and look like a hot mess. Better stick to just watching instead of copying.

13. The finsta-er

FInsta, also known as "fake Instagram", is where one posts to vent or tell a story rather than feature a particular photo. Whether it's to complain about life, recap a wild night out, or share a funny meme, their photos never cease to make you laugh. The endless videos, blurry pictures, and less than prime selfies are a nice break from all the posed over-edited shit you're used to seeing.

14. The gym freak

Every workout is documented with a selfie showing off their abs or a muscle pic, basically bragging to everyone how in shape they are and how great it is. You'll find protein shakes, Lulu Lemon active wear, and weights throughout their account, and to be honest it kind of concerns you. Does this person do anything else or do they live at the gym?

15. The basic bitch

Starbucks cups, beach pictures, mirror selfies, fake candids-you name it. If it coincides with the word "basic" this person has a picture of it somewhere on their page. Most likely a suburban white girl who has nothing better to do than take a picture of her iced coffee and share it with the world.

16. The stoner

The only thing you'll find this person posting is their stash, their bowl, their bong, and their blunts. Usually a pretty normal photo, and sometimes with a typical stoner caption. They don't get many likes but their smoke trick videos are pretty cool and you can look out for when they post about selling anything for a good price.

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.
