Friendsgiving is a really special holiday in college. You’re in a phase where you’re establishing your “found family” and creating traditions of your own — maybe for the first time ever. It’s a chance to solidify new friendships and make memories together, and no celebration is complete without the perfect college Friendsgiving Instagram captions for pics of your spread and camaraderie.

For some, Friendsgiving is an exciting way to kick off a magical holiday season with loved ones. For others, it’s even deeper; not everyone can travel home for Thanksgiving (and some might not want to). Regardless of why you celebrate, getting together to play games, get sappy about what you’re thankful for — and eat delicious food while you’re at it — can bring you and your friends even closer than you were before. 

After you spend all day making classic Thanksgiving dishes (or buying premade food from the store or reheating leftovers), there’s only one thing left to do: Post about it! 

Whether you want to share an earnest tribute to your college friends or humble-brag about the killer cheese board you assembled, there’s an Instagram caption for that. Go ahead and show off the great time you had with the help of these cute, funny, and iconic Friendsgiving Instagram captions.
