In a few short weeks, you're going to put your clothes in a bunch of bins and suitcases, pack up your car, and head to your favorite place on the planet: college. The mornings you get to spend sipping your iced coffee, relaxing in your loft bed, and helping your roommate pick out her outfit for the day are always so dreamy. Not to mention, the lighting is very ideal for taking selfies before heading to the science building. Can I give you some captions for dorm room selfies before you hop on the highway and start doing this sweet thing called college?

I was once in your shoes, and would love to relive those days of walking around the quad with my headphones on and waving to my BFFs. Sure, I didn't adore sitting through math at 8 a.m, eating the questionable food from the dining hall, or sharing a room for the first time. I did leave my college experience with lots of amazing memories and moments in the back of my mind, though. I'll never forget the table I used to study at in the communications building, and getting ready for a Friday night out while "All Star" by Smash Mouth played in the background.

I'll also never forget the times I had to rush to class because I was taking selfies in my dorm room. I loved the outfit I was wearing, or the way my eyeliner came out so even and perfectly winged, and had to capture it for the 'Gram. When my professor asked why I was late again, I would make excuses like, "My alarm didn't go off" or, "The shuttle took longer than expected." (Oops.)

You might have a similar experience this semester, which is why you're in need of some captions for dorm room selfies. Lucky for you, I have a bunch you can use that'll show your followers you're crushing this sweet thing called college.
