9 Reasons Why Your Instagram Life is Better Than Your Real Life

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

1. You can stalk people at any time of day, and it’s (mostly) not borderline creepy.

2. You can like pictures from people you barely even know, or don’t know at all, and it is somehow socially acceptable. 

3. You’re basically friends with celebrities, and you always happen to know what’s going on in their lives. Oh that Kim, she just can’t decide on a hair color!

4. You have more friends on Instagram than you do in real life. There is no way you genuinely know all of the hundreds of people that you follow, and that follow you as well.

5. You can filter yourself at any given time, so you always look  #flawless at all times. 

6. You travel to the most beautiful places, and always see the most beautiful sunsets and sceneries (without leaving your bed.)

7. People only see you when you’re having fun and when your outfits are totally on point.

8. People think you always eat the most elaborate foods—because only foods that look the absolute best end up on your account.

9. You can find a person at any given time of day. Wondering where Taylor Swift is? Just check her Instagram page. It is so much easier than scoping out all of LA or NYC to find her.

Instagram only captures some of the best moments of your life… not your dorm room on a Sunday morning littered with pizza boxes and regret.
