Cliché Instagram Posts We’ve All Made

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

Instagram: every college girl’s favorite social media outlet. Instagram is a great way to show your creativity through photos and captions, but sometimes we run out of ideas and are forced to resign ourselves to a few basic posts. Don’t be ashamed, we’ve all posted one of these photos at some point or another…

  1. New Year’s Eve

Usually taken at a party of some sort: “New year, no new friends! #2ksomething”

  1. Preparing for the return of school…

Typically a group of your closest friends or roommates: “Can’t wait to be back causing trouble ;)”

  1. Syllabus Week

A picture of your first time going out in the new semester with a witty play on the word ‘sylly.’

  1. Beach Photos  

“Really wishing I was at the beach instead of class rn”

  1. Midterm Season

An aesthetically pleasing display of one’s coffee, laptop, and homework. Caption? “Midterm szn”

  1. Snapchat game STRONG

A selfie with a snapchat filter captioned something along the lines of, “Snapchat saw it first.”

  1. The Bascom Shot

Typically these blow up your Insta-feed on the first day it starts to feel like spring on campus.

  1. Finals Season

Typically a picture from game day with the caption, “Really wish I was tailgating right now instead of being in the library.”

  1. End of Year Tribute

Roomie photo featuring the caption, “Wouldn’t have made it through this year without these girls!”

  1. Game Day

“Welcome back tailgate szn!!”

  1. Apple Picking

It’s pretty hard to make it through fall without seeing an apple picking photo.

  1. Sunset Pictures

“No filter necessary”

Our photos may be basic, but at least we’re having fun!
