23 Thoughts While Posting An Instagram

If you use Instagram the right way, you know how critical the process of posting a photo can be. There is a lot of time and effort that goes into creating the successful Instagram post. Those who are dedicated to maintaining the perfect Instagram account are plagued with a constant anxiety of whether or not the correct filter was chosen, if the caption was funny enough and many more conflicts like these. If you're like me, (basic AF), these thoughts have probably crossed your mind while posting an Instagram:

1. Is this photo really Instagram worthy?

2. Maybe it would do better on VSCO.

3. I'll ask the group chat.


4. Instagram it is.

5. Now, the editing stage.

6. Should I use one of those fancy editing apps that makes me look 20 pounds lighter and three shades darker?


7. Of course I should.

8. Perhaps I overdid it on the old editing. I don't even look like myself.


9. Let's just stick to the original filters.

10. Lo-Fi makes me look tan, but I love a good black and white photo.

11. Here comes the hardest decision of them all: the caption.


12. I've got to come up with something witty.

13. I need the approval from the group chat before I post.


14. Wait a second- am I posting at a prime time?

15. Whatever, it'll get plenty of likes.

16. Okay- 1, 2, 3, POST!


17. "Everyone go like my Instagram, I just posted!"

18. My like-to-minute ratio is not what I expected.


19. Should I delete it?

20. No, I have faith. My followers are loyal likers.

21. At what time is it acceptable for me to like my own Instagram?

22. Screw it. *Double tap*


23. Another successful Instagram.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
