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.

It would be so much easier to just pay someone to do it for you

1. Figuring out when to start

2. Searching through list after list to get everything you need

3. Shopping for deals

4. Getting bins to put everything in

5. Figuring what you can’t live without

6. Going through clothes to find what you need

7. Finding out your siblings took something from you

8. Fighting with your parents.

9. Trying to plan things with your roommate

10. The fear of forgetting something

11. Move in day

Relatable moments from one of the best shows I have ever watched.

1. When you fail that midterm you studied so hard for.

2. When your crush finally texts back.

3. When payday comes around.

4. When you accidentally like someone's picture from 108 weeks ago.

5. When someone takes your unassigned assigned seat.

6. When your favorite character in your favorite TV series dies.

7. When that guy/girl you’ve been crushing on agrees to go on a date with you.

8. When you have so much to do, and such little motivation to do it.

9. When someone asks for your last fry.

10. When you try a new health-food craze.

11. When you get new clothing.

12. When you check your bank account.

13. When they're serving good food in the dining hall.

14. When someone tries to tell you what to do.

15. Or just your thoughts about life in general.

We all have that "I don't care" attitude.

1. Most students just take life day by day.

2. That means procrastinating, one day at a time.

3. College students don't mind dressing like crap sometimes.

4. In fact, dressing nice feels weird.

5. College students get so stressed that they contemplate dropping on a daily basis.

6. But most find another solution to deal with that stress.

7. And that solution can be pretty cheap. Anything over $5 is expensive.

8. One of the only things college students will spend money on is coffee.

9. College is just really expensive and you never forget how expensive it is.

10. But hey, we're getting a somewhat high-quality education, right?

11. We all really just want to pet dogs all day.

12. And eat pizza for every meal.

13. And stab the next person who asks us what we want to do with our life.

14. However, despite the stress and student loans, college is amazing and there's plenty of reasons to smile.

Thank you, April, for inspiring us with your wicked relatability.

Girls; they're notoriously late.

1. You spontaneously tried a new hairstyle....that you hated

2. You tried on 20 different outfits

3. You stabbed your eye with your mascara

4. You got caught stuck in bed checking social media

5. You were trying to impress someone

6. You forgot to check the weather

7. You just don't mind being THAT girl

8. You decided to wear shorts and realize you have to shave your legs

9. Your bed was just too warm compared to the Antarctic weather outside

10. You debated too long on skipping class

11. Your roommate steals the shower before you

12. You're rewarding yourself for being on time last week

13. You overslept your alarm

Living in the dorms can tear down your immune system.

1. Drink lots of tea with honey.

2. Get a good amount of rest.

3. Make an appointment with the health center or at a doctor's office.

4. Stock up on soup and crackers.

5. If you are able to, go home.
