What Your Instagram Bio Really Says About You

Instagram is one of those apps we spend way too much time on but can't help but love. It's kind of addicting and it's a fun way to keep tabs on what's going on in everyone else's lives. Whether you see it as a hobby, an art form, or just something to keep your friends updated, you probably have one and you're probably on it at least once a day. One of the most important aspects of Instagram is your bio. This is where you can let your personality shine and let everyone know who you really are in a few short lines. Here's what your Instagram bio really says about you and your personality.

1. Bible quote.

You're pretty religious and everyone knows it. You most likely live in the south, are involved in multiple bible study groups, and were a counselor at some kind of Christian camp. You wear Chacos a lot and have bible verses written on all of the artwork in your room. People always look to you for spiritual guidance or advice and you're always happy to help them and spread the word of Christ.

2. Your university name and sorority letters.

You can sometimes be kind of basic but, hey, what's so wrong with that? Your feed mostly consists of "candid" pictures that were actually totally posed and pictures of you decked out for the latest social. You wear an oversized T-shirt and norts to class every day and are obsessed with iced coffee. You've probably watched "Grey's Anatomy," "Gossip Girl," and "One Tree Hill" multiple times and have thought long and hard about which character you'd be in each series and why. You're totally convinced that your big/little is your soulmate and you throw what you know constantly.

3. Your university name and fraternity letters.

You use the word "frat" as an adjective on a regular basis to describe things that have nothing to do with fraternities. You can usually be found in the fraternity house chilling with your bros or maybe even prepping for the next tailgate. TFM or Old Row is your primary news source and you're not afraid to make it known that "cargo shorts are for GDIs."

4. A description of your whole life.

You probably have people telling you "TMI" at least once a day. You're an open book and are never afraid to talk and talk and talk about your life and your accomplishments. Someone mentions how they joined a new club? Well you're a member of five different clubs on campus and an officer in two. Your friend tells you they want a puppy? You've had four in your lifetime and proceed to list all of their names, favorite toys, and breeds. Everyone tells you to tone it down and stop trying to shove your life story in their faces, but you never seem to actually listen.

5. Something about sports.

Whether it is a list of all of the sports you play, #D1bound, or stats on your favorite team, you are probably the stereotypical jock type. You don't say "ball is life" in a joking way because you're being for real. You were the kid who used to take gym class seriously and always injured people during organized games of basketball. Kudos to you if you ever went on to the big leagues and are excelling in sports, but the majority of people with this type of bio will end their athletic careers in high school.

6. Song lyrics.

You're either the artsy type or a total fangirl. Artsy types will tend to have some kind of deep and meaningful lyric from a band most people have probably never heard of, while the fangirls tend to stick to One Direction or Justin Bieber lyrics. You always have your headphones in and are jamming out to your latest favorite song on repeat. You also probably have some ridiculously expensive headphones, like Beats, that you have with you at almost all times.

7. Your hometown.

You are pretty proud of where you live and want everyone to know that your city is the best. When people bring up anything in life, you find a way to relate it to your hometown somehow. You loved your high school, so you tend to reminisce a lot on all of the fun times you had with your buddies. Most likely, you'll be the type to move back home after college and spend your whole life in the same town you grew up in.

8. Something unique or funny.

You are the creative, funny one in your friend group. People always look to you for good picture captions and everyone envies your effortless humor. You were always the class clown throughout life so you never had a problem making friends. Everyone appreciates you for thinking of funny things to keep us boring people amused.

9. Something inspirational.

You are the therapist of your friend group. When anyone is having problems, they immediately come to you and ask for help. Your advice is always spot on and you always seem to be the most motivated out of everyone. You have a contagious aura of positivity and are always trying to make people smile.

10. Something hipstery.

Whether it's just the word "rad," a yin yang sign, or some quote about being a child of the universe, you're trying to be unique and it isn't working. You probably have an Instagram filter theme and wear flannels every day with those tattoo chokers while you tell people how dark your soul is. You're just as basic, if not more basic, than the sorority girl but in a more grunge type of way.

11. The date you and your boyfriend or girlfriend started dating

Sorry to say it, but you're in one of those "too open" couples. You know, the ones everyone is sick of seeing all over their feed. You probably write super long, heartfelt captions that should be kept private on all of your pictures with each other and use way too many heart eyes emojis. To some people it's cute, but to most others it's overwhelming. We get it, you guys are in love, now let's talk about something else. We're all happy for you, but maybe try to keep your relationship a little more private and cool it with the engagement ring emojis if you aren't even engaged.

12. The usernames or links to all of your other social media accounts.

You're a little thirsty for followers and social interaction. You're either trying to get social media famous or you're just wanting to be the outgoing type and have lots of friends without actually going out into the real world. Either way, everyone can tell what you're trying to do here.

13. An inside joke with your friends.

Nobody really gets it, but everyone assumes where it's from. You are a member of a set clique and you and your group are always attached at the hip. You guys literally never leave each other's sides...ever. People may think it's annoying, but you couldn't care less.

14. Still has their high school in their bio.

You're either still in high school or you're the type who is in college but peaked in high school and never really seemed to grow out of it. If you're the latter, you regularly attend high school parties (including homecoming and prom) and date high school aged people. You visit your old high school so much that nobody is really surprised or happy to see you any more because they're used to it. Maybe one day you'll move on and grow out of it, but for now you're still mourning over your glory days.

15. Just emojis.

You're not very creative, but you don't really care. Instagram is not very important to you and you really never felt like coming up with a cool caption, so you just slapped some of your favorite emojis on there. A picture speaks a thousand words, so people still get the point anyway.

16. No bio.

You literally don't care at all what people think of you, so a lot of people admire you for that. You'd rather be doing anything else than coming up with the perfect bio and you're rarely on Instagram anyway. You most likely just use Instagram to update family and friends. If you're a guy, you only post on Instagram because your girlfriend wants you to post pics of her. Either way, you couldn't care less.

A three-and-a-half-hour runtime. Nine Eras. Eleven outfit changes. Three surprise songs. Zero breaks. One unforgettable evening. In the past century, no other performer has put on an electric performance quite like Taylor Swift, surpassing her fans ‘wildest dreams’. It is the reason supporters keep coming back to her shows each year. Days later, I’m still in awe of the spectacle ‘Miss Americana’ puts on every few days in a new city. And, like one of Taylor’s exes, has me smiling as I reminisce about the memories of the night we spent together.

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?
