6 Ways To Step Up Your Instagram Feed This Spring Break

For most people, Instagram is just a place to share pictures with friends and family. Technically, the app was created for that reason. However, other girls, just like myself, have taken it upon ourselves to be extra with every single post. I can't even deny, I have spent more than two hours staring at a photo and editing it so that it was literally perfect.

I have had photo shoots and all my close friends know I can never decide which pictures I want to post. If you're looking for some ways to spice up your Instagram feed, look no further. Here are 6 of my best tips and tricks.

1. Angles are everything.

I have explained this to everyone. Angles are legit everything. When you're tall, it might be better to get a camera angle that accentuates your long legs, or if you're on the short side, capture more of your face. Also, your good side tends to be your most photogenic side as well.

It might look less awkward to the camera if you have your good side out. Don't be afraid to try new angles either; they might actually add some depth to your feed.

2. Cute outfits make a picture more appealing.

Let's admit it, no girl has ever posted a picture with sweatpants on. Wearing cute outfits from a night out on the town are appealing and make your feed look put together. If you're going out with some friends over spring break, don't be scared to ask for a few pictures with them.

Pinterest has some good outfit ideas if you're looking to find poses and outfits that go along together. Plus, having a photoshoot in these outfits definitely boosts the ego.

3. Use the same filter on every picture.

This ensures that your feed doesn't look like the most heinous hot mess anyone has ever seen. I usually use a Vsco filter like C3, but there are so many to choose from that match any color scheme you want. There are other apps that have cute filters as well. Having one basic filter on each picture just makes it all look put together and as if each color has the same hue to it.

4. Use apps that make your pictures stand out.

Apps like Glitche help edit your photos and make them glitchy, like putting a VHS filter over a picture or making it look extra grainy. Apps like these usually do cost money but they are so worth it, especially if you want to use crazy filters that make your pictures stand out on someone's feed.

5. Even if your vacation is incredibly fun, avoid posting the same picture three times in a row.

Spring break is the time where your feed makes you want to travel all the way to Mexico. If you're the one on a vacation, it's fine to take a few pics to save for later, but please spare yourself the embarrassment of posting three times a day. Spread it out across a week and they'll have a better effect, and your friends will probably hate you less.

6. Choose to crop your photos or not at all.

Listen, I know Squaready was a big deal back in the days. If you're going to use a white border, stick with it all the way through otherwise it'll look weird against a bunch of normal square pictures. I prefer leaving them as squares without a border, but whatever makes you happy, you should go with.

We all do it for the gram sometimes. This spring break, own up to it and spice up your feed however you like. Apps like VSCO and Glitche are the most helpful to me when I'm editing. Express yourself in any way you want to, and don't be afraid to do it. It's the year to step your game up.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
