23 Thoughts You Have Scrolling Through Instagram
Thought Catalog

Many thoughts cross through the mind of Instagrammers whether it is toward their own or their follower's page. You are not alone with some of the crazy thought processes that Instagram causes you to have, I promise. I think that the number of filters might make our minds a little delusional. Here a few thoughts we're all guilty of having while on Instagram.

1. I wonder what filter they used?

There is a constant, never ending struggle to pin point which filter your friend used, or which filter makes you look the most on fleek at any given moment.

2. Puppy!

Everybody has at least one person that they are following whose puppy has taken over their Instagram. Those people are special. Those people are blessed.

3. I want that outfit.

We've all experienced the moments when we wish we had a classmate's entire closet as we look at all of her adorable outfits while stalking her page.

4. How did she get so tan?

Is that a fake tan, or did she really get that tan over spring break?

5. How many more couple pictures will I see?

Okay, we get it, you have been dating for seven months. Thank you for the weekly update, #MCM.

6. Her makeup is on point.

Can I Youtube how she contours?

7. Did I accidentally like that post from 17 weeks ago?

Whoops. I may have just liked a post from 2013, but I am going to keep scrolling deeper anyway.

8. How did I get to my best friend's cousin's ex-wife's instagram page?

Do I even know this person? No. Do I still continue to creep on their page? Of course.

9. Whose house did they have the party?

You feel like a detective when you secretly look into the background of the pictures of your friends at the party from the night before to find out where the party was held.

10. You're basic, you're basic, and you’re basic

We've all seen it: the same picture with the same caption posted by everyone from "that one" friend group.

11. They went out without me!

You feel a little left out when you see that all of your friends went on a GNO without you.

12. Quotes from Google.

I know that quote is from Google because I found it there in seventh grade.

13. I wonder if I could do that to my hair?

Her hair looks so good and complicated. How does she do it?

14. Their Instagram is artsy.

The constant wish that your page could give off the hip, college kid vibe rather than selfies solely with your cat.

15. Are they really dating?

Going through the depths of Instagram to figure out if your ex is really dating the girl he told you never to worry about.

16. What restaurant are they at?

You get a strong desire to visit a restaurant based solely on how good their food looks on Instagram.

17. Aw, that's cute.

There's always one really adorable post that makes your heart happy.

18. Do I like the picture, or do I not?

The struggle of trying to figure out if you should like a picture or not, seeing as though that person already has over 200 likes.

19. Should I post something, or is it too soon?

Constantly debating if two days is a long enough gap between posting pictures.

20. Too many filter options!

Never being able to narrow down what filter you like best for that photo, so you screenshot and ask your friend to help.

21. What should I caption this?

Should I use a catchy saying, a quotation or emojis? The options are endless.

22. I'm deleting this if I don't get enough likes.

The amount of likes a picture gets within an hour is a life or death situation. Trust me.

23. I've wasted an hour of my life.

Wow, I really procrastinated way too much. It's time to go back to a filter-less reality.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
