48 IG Caption Ideas for All Your College Move-in Day Pics
College move-in day is one of the most emotional days of the year: The bittersweet feeling of leaving behind everything that’s familiar to establish a whole new way of life. The anticipation of hoping all of your perfectly packed items fit in your new space. The excitement (and possible awkwardness) of meeting your roommates for the first time. The butterflies when you discover your campus crush. The intense focus of determining where to place your furniture and each decoration. The fear of using the communal bathrooms. The hope for all the opportunities that lie in the year ahead of you.
As a rising junior with a couple of move-in days already under my belt, my biggest piece of advice for any college student on move-in day is to embrace each feeling so you can cherish the memories for years to come. But even if you do that, it can all still be a bit of a blur, so my favorite way to ensure I can really capture the memory is by documenting it on social media. And as for the caption? I’ve got you covered with plenty of ideas.
