"Finstagrams," otherwise known as "fake Instagrams," are quickly taking interesting millennials by storm.

I hope, for your sake, that you have already invested the time and energy into making yourself one of these parody accounts for your friends enjoyment/your own personal satisfaction. If you haven't made your own, I can only hope that you've at least seen someone's "finsta" before.

"Finstas" obtain photos and videos that normally accompany hilarious captions that tell tall tales of embarrassing stories, calling other people out via their own "finsta," exposing your own secrets, or just simply putting up things that you want only your close circle to see (anyone who you allow to follow your account).

Finsta DO: Make a creative spin-off of your own name and make a clever bio to sum up your finsta-alter-ego.

Finsta DON'T: Don't make your name or bio too revealing. You want your friends to be able to identify you, not the entire campus.

Finsta DO: Let your school besties, home besties, siblings or cousins follow your finsta. Anyone who won't personally judge you for the idiocy you're posting is acceptable.

Finsta DON'T: Don't let every guy in any frat, girls you don't even know, your parents, or anyone of importance follow your finsta. If you were cool with anyone and everyone seeing what you post on your finsta, you'd just post it to your real Insta.

Finsta DO: Do post funny and embarrassing things that you don't want the entire world to find out about. Our unfortunate tales provide our friends with entertainment. *Trust is key to finsta*.

Finsta DON'T: Don't post anything that could get you or the school into any form of trouble. It happens!!!

Finsta DO: Post for your own enjoyment and humor. After all, this is your own finsta. Follow your own rules.

Finsta DON'T: Don't worry about your follower-to-following ratio or how many likes you're getting. This is a hidden account for a reason.

Finsta DO: Keep up with your account. Try to post every once in a while to keep up with your own shenanigans.

Finsta DON'T: Don't make a finsta, post a couple times, then ditch it. Any good finsta takes time, hard work, and creativity. Get on it.

Finsta's are a great way to get to know your friends even better on an entirely different level. I have all of my close friends on mine, and even some people who I'm just becoming friends with.

Nothing like following each other's finsta's in attempts to really read someone.

~Thanks to my brave friends who allowed me to expose their finsta's for this piece.
