Life was pretty fantastic when Sarah was around. My partner and I enjoyed a carefree social life, going out early and staying out late, all thanks to our amazing childcare. But as August approached, it was time for Sarah to return to school, which put a damper on our social calendar. I added her on Facebook and followed her on Instagram, promising to stay connected until summer rolled back around.
A few weeks into October, I heard my partner call out, “Hey, can you come here for a second?” I found him on the couch, engrossed in something on the laptop. He turned the screen towards me, and there was Sarah. Our Sarah. On Facebook. Holding a cigarette, standing near a bong, dressed in a crop top and shorts, and kissing both a girl and a boy at the same time. #Awkward.
In a moment of panic, I quickly unfollowed her, trying to shield myself from the unfiltered life of a college student. Yet, a recent article in Time revealed that high schoolers across the nation are eagerly following these types of candid accounts—mainly on Instagram, where they’ve migrated—to help them choose a college.
As one student shared with Time, “It’s like getting a tour of the school from a real student, not someone paid by the admissions office to tell you what they want you to hear. You get a genuine glimpse into college life.” If that sends shivers down your spine, you’re not alone. But when you think about it, it’s pretty ingenious. Instagram launched in 2010, making the class of 2015 the first to post their entire high school journey online. It’s only natural for them to seek out current college students doing the same. How else would they discover what college kids are really like, where the best hangouts are, who has the coziest dorms, and the optimal nights for going out (hint: usually Thursday)?
Finding Unsanctioned Accounts
Curious about how to find these unsanctioned accounts? Start by exploring a school’s official Instagram page, then check out the geotagged locations and specific hashtags. You’ll be rewarded with a flood of images shared by current students. And if any of that sounded confusing, perhaps it’s time to think about applying to college yourself. #JustSaying
