With National College Decision Day just around the corner on May 1, there is no better time to announce where you plan on spending the next four years — so why not celebrate with an Instagram reveal that’s equal parts funny and celebratory? You’ve more than earned a celebration worthy of its own Instagram post, so now’s your chance to share all that excitement (and maybe show off all your new college swag) with all your followers.
From planning a school spirit-filled bed party to having a stunning photoshoot in your backyard, there are countless ways to capture your excitement over this big life decision. No matter your approach, you’re going to want your post to feel like you (with maybe a tad bit of humor and charm). After all, this is the next four years of your life we’re talking about, and if that doesn’t deserve a feed-worthy celebration, what does?
