Social media has the impressive power of connecting us with one another, and also informing us. Take a second to think about how much time you spend on social media -- especially Instagram. Our feeds are where we turn to and see what our friends (past and present, casual and best) are up to, and it’s where we expect to get specific updates.
Considering how much time we spend on Instagram, its important for Waterloo students to follow some specific accounts to stay in the loop on everything happening in the city, at your university, other universities, and some other key places.
