What Your Instagram Bio Says About You

The bio is the window to the soul.

Instagram is the place to share your life in photographs, and while social media isn't full of substance, it's still a great place to show some creativity. What's just as important as the photos you post is your bio. You know, that little blurb that tells everyone who you are and what you're about. There's a few routes you can take to get the perfect bio made for you.


An inspirational quote.

You find the most profound quote that perfectly describes your life, and whenever someone taps to your profile, they'll see you are a well-read, insightful individual... or you've been really in your feels lately and found the perfect quote on Pinterest.

Your VSCO link.

You are ~artsy~ and you're totally into photography. Your VSCO is sort of like the extended cut of your Instagram. Every photo on your profile is on preset C1 and you're all about aesthetics.

"Hometown|College|Sorority."

Oh you know you've seen this one, or this is your bio right now. And why not? It's short, sweet, to the point, and it eliminates any questions. "Where is she from?" Look at the bio. "I wonder where she goes to school?" Look at the bio. "Is she in a sorority?" Look. at. the. bio.

The student athlete.

You're on the grind and working day in and day out, you deserve a little humble brag. Think about those student athlete memes and put that in your Instagram bio. The more emojis, the more dedication you have.

"Public Figure."

You're an Instagram model, "fitness guru" or blogger. You've racked up those followers and thanks to the new update, you can tell the world (well, you can tell Instagram) that you're a pretty big deal.

Emoji's.

They say a picture's worth a thousand words... so an Emoji must be worth even more. Who has time for quotes or descriptions, just throw in a few of these bad boys to really get your message across. Are you basic? Drop the avocado emoji. Do you treat yo self with some McDonald's regularly? The french fries emoji is perfect! Do you only attract good vibes? Try out the sunflower emoji and maybe throw in the crystal ball.

No bio at all.

What a maverick move. You don't have to explain yourself in a 140 character slot, people will figure it out on your own. It is only Instagram after all...

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."
