Seven Instagram Accounts Worth Following

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

Instagram is a marvelous little app that allows for even the most artistically inept individual to think they can be a world class photographer, or maybe just a hipster.  Hey, we are human and can’t help but to enjoy yet another way to peer into the lives of those around us, and especially those we don’t even know at all.  However, Instagram really does have a lot to offer beyond selfies.  It’s a way to visually tap in to the beauty of the world around us from fashion, to food, to places – literally everything!  So here are seven of the top Instagram accounts cool enough for a follow:

1.      @facehunter

Out of all the hundreds of thousands of fashion-centered accounts, Yvan Rodic’s is seriously top-notch.  This Swiss beauty travels around the world and documents the fabulous street fashion she sees along the way, and believe me, we are so glad she does. 

 

2.      @taylorswift

If you’re going to follow a celebrity account, Taylor Swift has a lot to offer!  Girls love her lyrics, and guys secretly love her lyrics too, so don’t even try to pretend like you wouldn’t even dream of following her.  Plus with her talent at taking artsy pictures of her friends, food, concerts, and cat, there is a variety to enjoy!

3.      @foodporno

The name of this account is pretty self-explanatory, and it’s definitely fitting!  While we all love our friends’ pics of their homemade spaghetti and Friday night sushi, this account gives us the real deal.  Every picture presents an artistically plated dish of varying cuisines that truly make your mouth water. 

Warning: do not follow if you’re trying to stick to a diet, it will only be torture.

4.      @funnyfailvideos

This video based account is perfect for any time when you really need a pick-me-up at the expense of other people’s ridiculously idiotic behavior.  Just avoid watching in the middle of class, because chances are you will laugh out loud and I doubt your professor will find these videos as funny as you do!

5.      @sserkan34

This Turkish photographer is a genius when it comes to nature and travel shots, but an even bigger genius at picking the perfect filter.  While every picture is pretty heavily manipulated, the results are absolutely stunning and provide a perfect slice of serenity during a hectic day!

6.      @espn

While this might seem like a super obvious choice as far as a sports account to follow, they really are worth it.  Not only is its content varied by featuring multiple sports and athletes, but also highlights fun facts and important days in the sports world.  Or so I hear.

7.      @instababby

When you’re having a bad day nothing will make you feel better than a picture of an adorable baby animal, and this account will always be there for you in that regard.  From puppies to penguins to porcupines, every little animal is so stinking cute!
