32 Overused Instagram Captions That You Want To Avoid This Year

In This Article:

It's okay to admit that not all of us are the best at Instagram captions. That's why we sometimes rely on popular song lyrics or captions that everyone seems to be posting these days. But if everyone is using the same caption, your followers aren't going to be able to enjoy your picture and amazing background. Let me start by saying, whatever you are about to write, please make sure that you're not on the bandwagon unless you really like it so much. Some captions that may be familiar to you are:

1. “I don’t catch feelings, I catch flights”

Giphy

Says the broke college student who is asking everyone for meals. (Don't forget the purse in hand, pointing toe, and looking down to the ground as if she lost something.)

2. “I only love my bed and _________ I’m sorry.”

We get it, everyone puts in "Netflix" or their "boyfriend".

3. “Take me back!”

Types up this caption after JUST leaving the resort on your way to the airport.

4. "As Rihanna once said, 'Work, work work."

PLEASE NO. I AM CRINGING!

5. “I don’t play tag, I’ve always been it.”

Giphy

You've been WHAT exactly? I can say anything for that.

6. “Never a dull moment with this one”

I mean, if I'm having a dull moment with you, we wouldn't be posting pictures in the first place.

7. “Might delete later, but I thought it looked cute.”

Wait, so what's the point of posting the picture then?

8. "Caught off-guard, but still cute."

Giphy

You know damn well it wasn't off-guard. The same people who post "candid" pictures and pretend to laugh. WE KNOW GIRL! WE KNOW!

9. "Things I did...THAT!"

I'm still waiting to hear what exactly you did?

10. “I don’t know about you, but I’m feelin’ 22”

We get it, it's your 22nd birthday. We know…

11. “Cause darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

Giphy

9 out of 10 girls have used this Instagram caption.

12. “He said he loves me, baby boy fall in line.”

Cringe...

13. “Blessed and highly favored.”

I'm pretty sure everyone has used this caption (even me sadly).

14. “Nice for what?”

Giphy

Sis, you aren't the only one. I guess everyone's plan was to be mean all summer.

15. “Snack or meal?”

Not going to lie, this one can get a free pass once in a while because there are some days where you'll feel like a snack. But you don't have to post this every time you dress up.

16. “Feeling like Floyd in this Mayweather”

Everyone as soon as the month of May hits when the weather is nice…

17. “June’s over? July-ing!”

Giphy

MAY you please stop with these posts?

18. “I woke up like this. #FreshFace #Natural”

Yes, good skin is important, but it's not natural to do your eyebrows before you take the picture.

19. “About last night…”

Last night was a pretty good night, but there are way more captions to choose from.

20. “Blessing your timeline.”

Giphy

O_o

21. “No caption necessary.”

Yet, you found it necessary to write a caption about how you're not writing a caption?

22. “Not all those who wander are lost.”

More like everyone's bios basically.

23. “I’m his favorite type of chick, boujee, bad and thick.”

Giphy

I'm guilty of this too. As soon as Cardi B's album came out back in April, I was using quotes left and right.

24. “________ tingz.”

Yes, this is getting old really quick. You don't have to post this every time you go to a function ladies.

25. “Oops, I almost gave a f***!”

Wait, but you had the time to care when uploading the p—okay.

26. “Look good, feel good.”

Giphy

I know you have creativity in you!

27. “Only in a competition with myself.”

This ain't it chief.

28. “Trust no b****!”

True statement, but basic.

29. “WCE”

Giphy

Yes, go ahead with the self-love, but please pick a different caption.

30. “Keep that same energy.”

I guess everyone has the same energy with the SAME caption.

31. "Low quality pic but high quality friends!"

I think we're all guilty of posting this caption. Even I can vouch for this mess.

32. “Life is a beach, I’m just playing in the sand.”

Giphy

I guarantee there are Odyssey articles out there who will give you ideas on beach captions. This should have been #1 but…I guess you have to save the best for last?

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

10 Reasons To Thank Your Best Friend

Take the time to thank that one friend in your life you will never let go of.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
