How To Make The Most Out Of Your Instagram This Summer

Let's say you're scrolling through your Instagram timeline. You swipe past the typical selfie pout, past the beach sunset from last month, even past that moving picture you know took a lot of time and Boomerang skill. Until something catches your eye. Its not the amount of likes or the quality or the filter, it's the caption. Any savvy Instagrammer knows that your caption will make or break you, but who's to say that you can't rock the heck out of your summer with some awesome captions?

For your sun-kissed selfies:

"When I am older I am going to live in a beach hut in Hawaii" — "Beach Hut In Hawaii" by Charlie XCX

"We could be together baby, as long as skies are blue" — "Summer" by Calvin Harris

Likes: Piña Coladas Dislikes: Getting caught in the rain

I know what you did last summer

"String of lights making your eyes shine tonight" — "Sangria" by Blake Shelton

Tip: Don't overdo your filter. Sometimes, less is more.

For those fun-filled beach days:

"Warm, wet, and wild" — "California Gurls" by Katy Perry

Nothing but smiles (and sunscreen)

"I'm gonna soak up the sun" — "Soak Up the Sun" by Sheryl Crow

Beach

Not another teen (beach) movie

Tip: Don't post a picture when you know people won't see it. Test the waters and find out when your friends and followers check Instagram most often.

For those cozy summer nights:

"There's a humming in the restless summer air" — "Glory and Gore" by Lorde

Moonlight and Moonshine

"Friday night beneath the stars, in a field behind your yard" — "I'm Only Me When I'm With You" by Taylor Swift

Can I have s'more?

"You and I are cool for the summer" — "Cool for the Summer" by Demi Lovato

Tip: Break out your artistic side and have fun with editing, filters, and overlays.

For those memorable nights out with pals:

(500) Days of Summer

"Ferb, I know what we're gonna do today!" — "Phineas and Ferb"

"Oh, those summer nights!" — "Grease"

What a heavenly view, dreaming in red, white, and blue

Summer of '69

Tip: Post whatever you'd like on your Instagram because it's your Instagram!

Make the best of your summer vacation. Your Instagram will thank you.

You are a senior in high school, you have made it to the final year that you have been looking forward to since the first day of freshman year. Whether this has been the worst or best four years of your life, appreciate it. You will never have these times back, you will never be in high school again. It is hard for someone still in high school to wrap their brain around, but there will be a day when you wish you could be in the shoes you're in right now. Here are 15 things I have learned being in college that I wish I knew as a high school senior:

Many people think that this show is the best thing they've ever watched and others won't bother watching it because they know they'll get hooked.

The first two weeks of classes have come to an end and they have been anything BUT easy. It seems like life has been serving up more bad than good and in all honesty, the only thing you want to do is crawl under your covers and hide from the rest of the world.

Although this seems like the best solution, it is also the easy way out. Take it from the girl who took basically a whole week off from her life because she just could not handle everything that was being thrown at her. This caused her to feel extremely lonely and even more stressed out for being behind in classes that JUST began.

11 Things We Learned From Brooke Davis

"What's more important? What we become or how we become it?"

Brooke Davis

"She was fiercely independent, Brooke Davis. Brilliant, and beautiful, and brave. In two years she had grown more than anyone I had ever known. Brooke Davis is going to change the world someday, and I'm not sure she even knows it." - Lucas Scott, An Unkindness of Ravens

Brooke Davis of the hit show One Tree Hill was the it girl - she had it all, or so we thought. She started out as a stuck-up, shallow, spoiled, head cheerleader who didn't have her life together. She slept around a lot and loved to party - sounds like your typical high school teenager right? Wrong. B. Davis had so much more to offer. Caring, loyal, and outspoken, she has taught us some valuable lessons throughout the 9 seasons that OTH was on the air:
