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.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
