Instagram

So here it is: I joined Instagram.
While our flight got delayed to Puerto Rico during spring break my friends convinced me that I needed to have instagram to capture all of the beautiful pictures I could take on our trip.  They fooled me right? I took the bait and here I am addicted more than ever.  Not only do I love keeping up with my friends and their photos, I like being able to choose which filter I want to use on my own pictures.

Some things I have learned about Instagram:

-You can follow tons of people and because it will show you your Facebook friends who have it, it is super easy to find all of your close friends, old friends, or people you think have a super cool life you want to live vicariously through!

- People you don't really think would like your pictures will.  It's so strange to me how random people will like photos of a group of my friends, but not my friends.  Interesting.

- Everything looks better with a filter.  Bad photo? Not tan? A tad blurry? No problem, just change the filter and you're good to go!

- People do things like #TBT and #latergram and #no filter.  It's fun and interesting, but just like Twitter in the hashtag aspect.

Remember when I wrote that post saying I had no interest in Instagram and did not want to follow that trend, well too late and I'm glad.  Even my mom has Instragram, weird.  And, when writing my paper for Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme I had both of them request to follow me! Embarassing? Nope.

I wonder what other social media sites I'm not a part of that I will soon give into? Vine?  Tumblr? Those seem to be the two I would be interested in, but for now hopefully I'm social media-ed out.
