What Your Snapchat Story Says About You

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Tulane chapter.

How was it that we blatantly showed off to our friends, kept track of our nightly shenanigans, or checked the temperature before Snapchat? In a world where connection seems as important as true interaction, Snapchat has given us the tools to be, or at least the tools to feel, transitory (with the possibility of hundreds of seconds of snap story fun). Here’s what your Snapchat story says about you.

 

The 40+ Second Snap Story

You’re having a good time and you want EVERYONE to know it.  You have at least 3 videos, one of which is probably of the entire bar singing along to SmashMouth. No trip to the bathroom is off limits, and dancing on raised surfaces is one of your favorite nighttime activities.

 

Filter–obsessed

No Snap gets posted without a carefully thought out filter. Oh, it’s 75 degrees in December? Slap a filter on your picture of a tree to make sure all your friends up North know you are ~living it up~ in the warm weather. Snapchat isn’t just a 3 second picture for you; it’s a way of life.

 

Party Girl

You love to go out. You love to document it. And, you love that everyone else knows this about you. Alcohol bottles frequent your story more often than your friends. Your videos are undecipherable, but they make sense to you, which is great because your story is more about looking back at it the next morning than impressing your friends.

 

The Artist

Your story is a work of art. The pencil icon is your fave and there is no picture that’s safe from your fingertips.  You can transform your roommate into a princess in a matter of seconds and you spend entirely too much of your free time creating your 6 second masterpieces. You do you.
