#ManCrushMonday

Mondays on IG tend to go one of two ways:

– “Here’s a photo of a shirtless Mark Wahlberg modeling for Calvin Klein that I got from Google image search and added a filter. I just wanted to get a lot of likes.”

OR

“Look at my boyfriend eating cheese doodles on my mom’s couch!! He had such a hard day working at Chipotle! He’s, like, sooo ambitious!” [Uploaded every unfortunate Monday.]

Side note: My ideal boyfriend works at Chipotle. 

 

#TransformationTuesday

Tuesday is a great day to show off 1.) how adorable you were as an infant vs. how hot you are now, 2.) before and after photos from when you started working out six months ago to your current washboard abs or 3.) your haircut. 

 

#WomanCrushWednesday 

Popular uploads:

1. Beyonce

2. Kate Upton

3. selfies that girls take on their boyfriend’s phone before uploading it themselves to his Insta

 

#ThrowbackThursday

This is a great day for reminiscing on anything from childhood to two weeks ago, but for whatever reason the middle school days tend to be avoided. Personally, those are my favorite. I don’t know about anyone else but I looked HOT when I simultaneously had an entire mouth full of metal, wire-framed glasses, and untamable frizzy hair. I couldn’t keep the boys at bay for a solid four years.  

 

#FreakyFriday

Okay so this sadly isn’t a thing yet, but I’m waiting for the day that the universe finally works its mischevious ways and everyone switches bodies with the last person they Instagram’d a picture of. 

 

#Caturday

Because everyone on the Internet loves adorable pictures of cats, apparently. 

 

#SelfieSunday

Nothing says “you don’t know success until you’ve understood failure” like taking 57 selfies before finally being able to post the perfect one that doesn’t make it look like you’re constipated or trying too hard.
