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.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
