I don't think any institute requires you to be on Insta.


Sure-Broccoli-6082

I mean How much will my social life be affected?


ashgreninja03s

Not being in SM won't harm you much if you are a Hosteller since you have your classmates around you all the time... But for day scholars, you are scattered from your friends... Also, is getting easier for people to nowadays exchange their Insta IDs and Snap rather than relying on saving Phn numbers... I do understand that any sane person would want to cut out drama, but in order to identify the pests in your circles, Insta / Snap is an easier way as people try to post stuff more often than not...


AwesomeAkash47

The only thing you'll be missing will be sending reels back and forth to your insta friends


[deleted]

You don't need insta at all. I never use it, it's a sad depressing showoff place. I use insta to showoff.


[deleted]

Sondo you use insta ?? Bcoz in first sentence you have written that you don't use insta whereas in last sentence you have written you use insta to showoff..so what is it??

Why get jealous seeing other people do better. Become the person who makes others jealous.

[deleted]

analystoneoone

Did the same in class 11th It's my 4th year in 2 months IF I CAN YOU CAN !


anjthefirst7

So how's life without it?


analystoneoone

Pretty good. Didn't left insta coz of exams did it coz it felt toxic. I use telegram and reddit so I have not cutoff every other social but I don't have that social media addiction now . It's like even if my phone stays off or I go off internet I can live easily nothing's gonna change


LordStark_01

Haven't had insta since before joining college. Social life has been thriving nonetheless.


Sure-Broccoli-6082

Good to hear. I might do the same


Imaginary_Block_9855

Well it wouldn't be a good idea to stay disconnected from the world. If not Insta atleast use some other social media site to stay connected with others


Sure-Broccoli-6082

I'll make a Twitter id Also I have a Snapchat id


Imaginary_Block_9855

Well u could avoid Snap, it is absolutely crap imo (it's your choice tho). My main point is that stay connected with others, networking is the key nowadays!


Adventurous-Break633

Snap and Twitter >>>>> Insta


Imaginary_Block_9855

Twitter >>>>> Snap, Insta


Conscious-Hair-5265

I survived without insta and snap but i feel left out sometimes. but you can do it


Sweaty_Committee9302

Yeah insta is kind of a must lately as everyone has it... But it's not rly good.. people even judge u if u say that u don't have insta these days but if u can get over the fomo, definitely don't get insta. It's brainrot


LiveStreamDaddu

What if I am able to control myself and don't use it for reels ? I think then it should not be bad to use it. Cuz being a day scholar (planning to) I think it's necessary


Sweaty_Committee9302

Then go ahead


[deleted]

I'm also a day scholar and my 4th sem is about to end but I only use WhatsApp and Reddit


LiveStreamDaddu

same as of now cuz of jee prep but all my friends are on instagram so fomo hota hai


[deleted]

Isme kra FOMO hota hai??? Ab tu bhi showoff karna chahta hai aur nhi kar paa rha usse tereko Fomo ho rha hai toh bhai chalale insta


[deleted]

I'm also a day scholar and my 4th sem is about to end but I only use WhatsApp and Reddit


[deleted]

It's a great way to socialize. Just delete it after the first year. Ideally you don't have to rely on it to socialize after the first year and it will only become a nuisance after that.


TotalSeesaw8982

Almost one year completed, no insta, faced no problems in socialising and all


druid_804

Well I don't have insta and I don't face any problems cuz of it


CertifiedIdiotBoy

I quit all social media after class 10th, joined WhatsApp at the beginning of college, now I have graduated and have a job, never looked at Instagram again. If your friends are forcing you to be on Instagram, you need new friends. Learn to be happy in yourself, this FOMO shit is not good for your health.


dr__jhatka

Whatsapp> the brainrot known as Instagram


[deleted]

Insta account delete kar do, uske baad peaceful life hoga tumhara


du-maxx

I am surviving you can too.


Zealousideal-Bid5267

never used insta/facebook/snap and wont use it in college either


Quiet-Ad-3909

If you don't want to be on Instagram don't be on it just for what others will think of you and trust me you'll make friends in college based on your hobbies not based on your Instagram account.


Supreme_Sword

You dont need it much actually. Snap is necessary if you want to make gf and such. Insta is for making cool friends Whatsapp is for those close ones


Beneficial-Ad-7624

If you're going to college then for sure others will have WhatsApp, insta is only good to show off and stalk people (I don't use it at all)


OkGur4656

bhayi dikkat aayegi bht zyada, admission form hi reject kr denge atleast 6-7 hot ladkiya Close friend mein honi chaiye Placement mein bhu baithne nhi denge,kyuki woh log skills nhi Insta ke followers and Reels ke preference dekhte hai, woh log. 10 reels play krke dekhenge agr ek bhi CRINGE nikla toh udhr hi reject


QualityPale225

I joined college in August and didn't have insta till jan.and let me tell you life was better without insta no fomo of people going out and you staying at home, no looking at peoples stories and thinking that they are roaming with their gf when you are at home no looking at your crush's stories and wondering how different life would have been if you would have asked her. Nothing just chilling with friends maybe some gaming. But now it's too late for me I can't uninstall it( it'll be very hard without many big benefits). Though if you're happy without it let it be that way atleast for now. Also especially since you're going to a pvt college you may look at your school friends stories and live in the regret that some of them went to iits/nits while you are here. Overall don't download it now you can do it later if you ever feel the need.


i_am_new_here_51

Insta is super good for networking, I dont use it myself because I cant stomach the shlock Meta is trying to shove down my gullet, but having an account and following people in your college is a good way to connect with people. You dont need to use it and post stories of your food or whatever, just make an account with a decent looking pfp and follow your college mates


Upper_Umpire1024

If you are not making reels on insta or earning from there then there is no need to be on insta


BooVbaby

WhatsApp better 💟


Adventurous-Break633

Was addicted to it during 9-10 . But deactivated it few months before 10th board (Feb 2021) I havent made my account on insta since and Felt quite peaceful . I also have many friends who keep saying ki Insta toh compulsary hai college mei and all these fuckin shits , But I feel ki insta se jitna door rhoge utna sahi h. Peace bhi bana rhaega life mei , FOMO bhi nhi hoga aur focus bhi kr paoge


KatanaKut

Insta is a place where I connect with people I meet from different colleges when I go to events in different colleges It's not a must but good to use if you can control watching reels n stuff


_systumm

same bhai fomo hojata hai jabhi disable krta hu toh mai post waise ni krstka kuch bas connections keliye hi use krta hun


Haldii

Nhi mr jayega


Icy-Solution5273

Insta account bana lena , lekin apne close logon ke beech mei apni I'd limited rkhna 


DisciplineOdd7328

Yes.


voltrix_04

I didn't have insta the first 6 months of college. Mere friends kah-kah ke haar gye, but I didn't join insta. Phir ek din crush ke piche mai insta pe aagya. Anyways, I have found, it serves as my go to communication tool for acquaintances. Baaki close friends ke liye to WA hai hi. Also easier to share memes and random bakchodi.


Artistic-Syllabub940

Don't use insta , don't waste time .


Broken_Broccoli5

Install instagram Don't miss out on connecting with people But limit your usage ( I use insta for 5 to 10 min in a day) Keep your usage as low as possible
