What Your Instagram Bio Says About You

The bio is the window to the soul.

What Your Instagram Bio Says About You

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...

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
