Admit it: you can’t do homework or fall asleep without browsing all your social media accounts for at least 20 minutes first. We get it. We do it too. And that’s why we’re here to help by providing you with some funny Instagram accounts to keep your procrastination at its finest.
1. @millennials_of_newyork
This account is brand new and will keep you wishing you’d found it sooner. It is a satire of the popular Facebook page “Humans of New York,” and it follows the classic high quality photo mold while adding on quippy and hilarious captions that the author expects a stereotypical millennial might say. The humor of this account is all in the sarcasm and the reader’s ability to take a light jab.
“We got married two weeks ago. It was an absolutely beautiful ceremony. I wouldn’t have done anything differently. Some people said it was tacky to make the priest hold the selfie stick when we kissed, but they can tell that to the 271 likes the picture got on Facebook. Now we’re on our honeymoon. It’s so beautiful. I’ve been spending most of my time staring longingly at our Instagram notifications while holding his hand and thinking about how many likes we’ll get for making a baby.”
2. @beigecardigan
This account is unbelievably relatable, and you won’t be able to stop scrolling for probably hours. Say sorry to your professors from us. The girl who runs it updates it all the time so there’s never a lack of great posts to tag your friends in and comment “THIS IS SO US!” You and yours will totally love it.
3. @assholeparents
Asshole Parents is a revolutionary Instagram. If you’ve ever babysat for a child you’ll know that they cry at absolutely ridiculous things, and this account encourages parents to submit pictures and explanations of their children having meltdowns for little to no reason. The posts will probably make you feel better about all those times you lost it when you were drunk and couldn’t explain the next morning why you bawled over there being only one piece of popcorn left.
“I gave her a lollipop like she asked, so I’m an #assholeparent. Via@katedennen”
4. @girlwithnojob
Girl with No Job is completely hilarious and will keep you scrolling for days on days (on days). Her posts are all killer, she provides credit where credit is due, and she’s not afraid to post relatable content about her personal life and social awkwardness. Also, she has no job and is somehow working it just by keeping up with her social media. Don’t you just wanna be her?
5. @barkbox
This one’s for all you dog lovers with a sense of humor. BarkBox is actually a company that mocks monthly beauty boxes by allowing subscribers to receive a package of dog treats and toys right to their mailbox every few weeks. It’s a fantastically cute idea, and they also have a PR team like no other. Their Instagram account will never cease to make you laugh out loud, admire cute dogs, and wonder how this could possibly be a real company.
“When you are disgruntled. #literallythatsyou #ifyouwerethisdog”
6. @socalitybarbie
This account is another satirical one. It mocks the stereotypical Instagram girl who posts pictures that are clearly extremely posed but claim to involve #nomakeup while seeming to think that everyone cares to see all her meals in their filtered glory. (It’s okay, we do it too.) In fact, this account is exactly that, except for the fact that instead of starring a real girl, it stars a Barbie doll. Absolutely worth the follow, as long as you don’t feel uncomfortable with a children’s toy being cooler than you are online.
“Was in the middle of hiking up some sand dunes like I do every Friday and realized that I’ve reach 5000 Followers!! I love the SB community! #blessed#thisismycommunity #vsco #vscocam#socality #liveauthentic #livefolk #kinfolk#visualcoop #getoutside#letsgosomewhere #neverstopexploring#exploreeverthing #explore #adventure#lifeofadventure #pnw #pacificnorthwest#thatpnwlife #northwestisbest#thegreatpnw #greatnorthcollective#socalityportland #pdx #oregon#upperleftusa #peoplescreatives#wildernessculture #instagoodmyphoto”
7. @cashcats
Cash Cats is exactly what it sounds like. Kittens lying in wads of cash. Something about it is so great and ironic, and we just can’t stand it. Also, the cats are ridiculously adorable. The only downfall is that you can’t pet the cats through your phone screen. Sob.
8. @hctrinity
How could we end on anything other than the most up-and-coming Instagram out there, The Trinity Her Campus Instagram! Give it a follow for some quality pictures that will brighten up your news feed with every post. Social media can be both a blessing and a curse (especially at the beginning of the semester when procrastination is running rampant), but there’s no reason not to make the lazy part the best it can be. Enjoy following these accounts, and scroll easy.
