This New Instagram Update Is Everything
Rebecca Jarrett

Have you ever lost an Instagram photo moments before posting it, after meticulously editing it for longer than you’d care to admit? Or have you ever just wished that you could save a picture that you want to post in the future? Well, thanks to the newest update, now you can!

A few weeks ago, Instagram tested a feature that would allow users to save their drafts. After many updates that have been more annoying than helpful, this feature promised to be a refreshing change! However, it wasn’t meant to be just yet. Various Instagram users reported that they were able to see this feature as an option, but that their drafts did not actually save; it was just a test run.

However, the option is now really available, and it is EVERYTHING. To use the feature, just choose your photo, apply all your edits, set your caption, and then hit the back arrow in the upper left corner. This will take you to a screen that will allow you to save your drafts!

Now you can edit your photos and set your caption all in advance. Even better, you can go back and make changes to your saved edits! Gone are the days of accidentally closing Instagram while writing your caption and losing all of your painstaking work. Gone are the days of thinking of the perfect caption in the moment, only to have it totally evade you when you finally post the picture.

So what’s next for Instagram? First updates took it the way of Facebook, changing the order in which photos appear in your newsfeed. Then they went the way of Snapchat, almost blatantly copying the Snapchat Stories feature. Are they going to restrict captions to 140 characters, add a filter feature to Stories, or allow you to repost someone’s photo to your own page without using an outside app?

Whatever the case, I think we can all agree that this new feature has each and every one of us feeling #blessed.

"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!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers
Adult Swim

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.

We're in college, none of us actually have anything together. In fact, not having anything together is one of our biggest stressors. However, there's a few little things that we do ever so often that actually make us feel like we have our lives together.

1. Making yourself dinner

And no this does not include ramen or Annie's Mac & Cheese. Making a decent meal for yourself is one of the most adult things you can do living on campus. And the food is much better than it would be at the dining hall.
