It’s the newest social media on the block. Facebook bought it for one billion dollars, so it must be worth looking up. We all know the filters by heart and what hashtags to give the pictures in order to make us “Insta-famous.” However, what do the pictures posted on Instagram really say about us?
Selfies: Trying too hard
If it doesn’t look like you took the picture in an uncomfortable angle, it’s not a selfie. There are two types of these:
1. Sober Selfies: consists of a picture in which a lot of thought has been put in, has been taken 2 or 3 times before uploading, and the outfit was planned out weeks in advance.

2. NOT Sober Selfies: consists of your face being distorted into the “Insta-famous” duckface, you may or may not have a companion, and a flattering angle is HIGHLY unlikely.

BC Pride: You wish you were HERE
This section is only for people who are enrolled in BC and are incessantly raging about being Eagles.
1. BC Architecture: to all BC goers, it’s not a newspaper headline the fact that Stokes just opened. The first thing I noticed people doing was not going to the chocolate bar as all of us expected, but it was actually taking pictures of the building from all angles and posting them online. You have to understand though, that each picture of the same exact building is quite different. The reason? The filters. That’s as far as the magic of Instagram goes. The exact same thing happened to Gasson not so long ago, but that’s old news.

2. Events: this ranges from events as old as the Holy War to current ones such as the Beanpot, and to future ones such as Marathon Monday. Pictures consist of people taking selfies before, during and after the events in a pose of pointing at the camera stating that BC is number one, which nobody usually understands. Pictures also consist of groups of random people who happen to be in attendance, unaware of the picture being taken. We call these people “Insta-victims.”

Hell Week: My LIFE is a JOKE
Whether it’s midterms, finals or simply one of those weeks in which showering is optional, we somehow always have time for an “Insta-pic.” These are the most annoying pictures to see because it’s people ranting about their workload, yet doing nothing about it except documenting their struggle on Instagram.
