Who doesn't enjoy any moment in college where you can wear something other than sweatpants? Although you may love your go-to sweats and fuzzy boots, switching out your comfy clothes is totally worth it if it means you get to dance it up with your friends at winter formal. And even if you aren't fully submerged in Greek life on campus, your winter formal Instagram captions should speak almost as loudly as your super fly ensemble.

College is no piece of cake — you’re likely working your butt off — and if it were, we'd all be running to the dining hall claiming first dibs. (For real though, is there cake?) Winter formal is a chance to put those textbooks to the side for a bit, get all dolled up with your people, snap some solid pictures, and celebrate the night away.

College is a transition, and one of its most incredible characteristics is the opportunity to do things on your own terms. With this freedom, you have a lot more say in how you want to carry out your fun, take charge of your schedule, and what activities you want to get involved in. By no means am I hating on the memories prom may have provided us with, but any of these captions can show that winter formal in college is totally where it's at.
