"What the heck is a finsta??"
"Who is antzz?"
Yes friends, these are questions that I have been asked many times these past several months. Now I'm sure you are thinking the same ones in your head (or wondering why you're still reading this post), but please let me explain myself!! I was introduced to THE greatest thing several months ago by my good friend, Lauren aka Lard aka icemilkluvr, who goes to UVA. Her friends who hail from the ol' Richmond, VA showed her the FINSTAGRAM (finsta for short).
What is a finsta you ask????
Well....Do you ever have super weird, awkward, and random things that happen to you and you just need to post it for people to see and appreciate but feel like it's too inappropriate, embarrassing, something you'll lose followers for, or you'll totally be judged for it? If you say no then you're totally lying to yourself and I have no words for you. So to the rest of the normal people who answered yes, that is what finsta is for!!! It's a fake instagram that you create with a super awesome username (for example: antsinmypantzz), and it's a place where you can post some of the ugliest, double chinned filled pictures because no one judges the finsta. And if they do then they suck.
Okay so even though finsta is a judge free zone, there are certain things you have to do to make your finsta one for the finsta hall of fame:
1. The most crucial part to the finsta is a good caption. No doubt about it. The caption sums up the repulsive selfie that you just posted. You need to get your point across, but don't make it too long because then you'll just ramble on and on, and people will know you're just trying to be funny when you're actually not.
2. You gotta also make sure you spread out your selfies and other pics. Even though selfies of your face are great, they can get boring after a while. Switch it up between selfies, mirror pics of you in your shower robe, your unshaved legs of two months, etc.
3. Only follow other finstas that way people know you're the real deal, and you'll get a totally awesome follower:follow ratio and who doesn't love that?!
4. Don't forget about a great profile pic, so people can get a little preview of the magic they're about to see.
5. Make sure your account is private. It's an honor to follow a finsta, and like seriously, you don't need some of these pics showing up on the sexy-boy-that-you're-in-love-with-he-just-doesn't-know-you-exist-yet's explore page... #embarro
happy finstagramming!!
