When Snapchat first introduced stories, a lot of people weren't too sure about them. It was unclear exactly what their purpose would be, but now it's pretty much impossible to imagine life, especially college life, without the ability to constantly update all of your snap friends on what you're up to.

Song Lyric Puns

Typically in the form of a Drake, Fetty Wap, or Yeezy, a good pun has to be shared with everyone.

Locations

Whether you’re leaving home or arriving a new country, making the geotag your story is always a necessity. Spring break isn't over until you see an “it’s been real Mexico” story.

Concerts

If all of your snap friends can’t imagine feeling the performer’s sweat, why even go?

Filters and Face Swaps

A story is the only way to find out about a new filter or appreciate a bizarre face swap.

Selfies with Alcohol

Apparently you have to prove that the alcohol is in fact yours and you are in fact drinking it.

Parties

No weekend night--and by weekend we mean Wednesday through Saturday--is complete without a party story. Plus there is such a variety. They can range from a selfie at a party to a video panning around the dance floor to a cookout at a darty.

Classes

When your professor is being weird or doing an experiment or there is something interesting on the powerpoint, you obviously have to share it with all of your snap friends.

Alcohol

If you don’t let everyone know you have alcohol, it’s almost like you don’t even have the alcohol.

Pets

No trip home is complete without a story of your pet. Everyone must appreciate the cuteness.

Strange Friends

Everyone has weird friends. They delight us so much that we feel compelled to let all of our snap friends enjoy them as well. And if they said something funny while being strange, all the better. It makes for the perfect caption.

Food

We can’t all run a super successful food instagram, but we all can post our food on our snap story.

Fortune Cookies

Some fortunes are just too funny or accurate to not show them to the world.

Studying

Whether you’re in the library for hours, staying up literally all night, or writing a really long essay, you can’t feel like you’ve fully accomplished the task without making it your story.

Fire Pits

Fire pits are just so aesthetically pleasing that they pretty much demand to be added to your story.

TV Shows

If you didn't make the season premiere of Game of Thrones your story, did you even watch it?

Nature

It’s obviously not as pretty if it’s not on your story and doesn’t tell you what time it is.

Temperature

Snap stories are the best way to complain about being too hot or too cold.
