9 Instagram Captions You Need to Stop Posting

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

On Instagram, your caption is just as important as your filter. If you include a caption that evokes emotion or even a little laugh, you’re probably going to get a like. So before you write another caption, here are nine you should seriously avoid: 

1. Cause darling I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.Cause darling, Taylor Swift has about one million other song lyrics to pick from.

2. All that I’m after is a life full of laughter.All that your after is more people liking your forced laughing candid.

3. Hey, I’m a little drunk on you and high on summertime.Hey could you just explain what getting drunk off a human being means?

4. I got it from my momma.Yes since your mother gave birth to you we would expect similar characteristics but maybe not?

5. Hate this boy<3 Because your boyfriend of 6 months really appreciates being hated and referred to as just “this boy.”

6. As long as we’re together, there’s no place I’d rather be.Well we could name a few places like the Caribbean islands or maybe even backpacking through Europe, but you go ahead and stay in that sweaty cramped town house.

7. A brunette and a blonde with an inseparable bondSo basically just in case we couldn’t tell by looking at your picture, you have blonde hair and your best friend has brown hair.

8. Yesterday/ Last night with *insert name*No need to worry, if you are posting on a Saturday or Sunday morning we can conclude your picture was from the night before.

9. Just young, wild & freeIf you use this caption maybe you should re-evaluate having an instagram account.

Think before you caption, Collegiettes!
