This Instagram Update Needs To Happen

This idea for an Instagram update really only applies to certain people: those that take the time to create content for their profile, and people who take beautiful pictures, use relatively good cameras, and want to get their pictures noticed by others.

It's best for people like me: someone who has a photography Instagram, but doesn't focus on one subject.

I take pride in the fact that I'm not a photographer that doesn't just do portraits, or landscapes, or city architecture. I do a little bit of everything. Call me a life photographer. I shoot as I go. So when I upload my pictures to Instagram, they tend to be a bit out of order. Next to my picture of a flower, is a picture of guitarist, which is next to a picture of a light house, and above that is a picture of football players. It's just all over the place. And while I'm completely fine with that, I see other profiles of successful photography Instagram profiles that are so focused on one subject, so it looks VERY aesthetically pleasing.

Here is an example of what I mean:



If you want to talk about specific focuses, this guy is a 'polar expedition photographer'.

But do you see how nice this looks?! Not just the high quality of the photos, but seeing all of those photos together makes it so pleasing to the eye.

So this is what I suggest: that I have the ability to move around my photos on my profile at my leisure. That I can put all my concert photos next to each other, regardless of the dates that I took them. Maybe Instagram can put a notification at the top of my profile, giving a disclaimer that 'this profile is not in chronological order'. I want all my nature photos together, and all my portraits together too. I just want a little bit of organization, post-upload. To resolve this problem, most people upload three photos at a time from the same photoshoot. So that way their profile looks coherent and easy to follow. Plus, since Instagram feeds are now in a non-chronological order, does it even really matter? Isn't this a natural update to come next?

I realize this request is so arbitrary, and who cares?! But I don't know, I just think this would be a cool thing for Instagram to produce.

Here is a look at my photography Instagram to show you what I mean:

As college students, we are all familiar with the horror show that is course registration week. Whether you are an incoming freshman or selecting classes for your last semester, I am certain that you can relate to how traumatic this can be.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

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.
