An uprising of popular Instagram accounts has led to finding humor with others involved in their daily lives. Every generation has trends and things that they do and part of this generation’s is Instagram accounts revolving around students’ funny moments. Even teachers have become involved. 

One of the accounts is called “Almostfriday.whss,” where students from any grade can submit funny photos of their friends. The account posts twice a week with the pictures labeled “Almost Friday” and “Finally Friday.” It was originally started by a table group in child development consisting of Elleia Patterson, Marlie Dixon, Sophia Furtado and Zoe Clark.

“We were sitting in Child Development [when] we saw Rocklin’s Almost Friday account and we were like whoa, we don’t have one of these, Whitney needs to have one,” Patterson said. 

Although a lot of students submit pictures of their friends, some also send in pictures of teachers as well. This led to several teachers also finding out about the account. Integrated III and Precalculus teacher Mr. Joel Williams has been featured seven times on this account. 

“I’ll be honest. I think it’s funny and if the kids get joy out of it, fine. It’s great. I just don’t know how I keep getting on there,” Williams said. 

Besides Almost Friday, another account is rising in popularity. “Whs_get_footed” is where students submit pictures of people’s bare feet and get posted with a clever caption. Pictures are sent in without the others knowing, making it a surprise. 

“I definitely did not expect to be on that account. My friend showed me that and it was really funny. But whoever’s doing it, that person is pretty funny,” Isaac Seo said.

There are also other accounts including photo submissions, for example, students’ outfit styles, sleeping in class or their bad parking jobs. All of these accounts are made for entertainment purposes and include engagement from students of all grades.

“I think the Almost Friday posts are something people look forward to now, and it seems that it has gained a lot of attention as of recently. I also could see why some may dislike it but I overall think it’s a fun way to spread WHS spirit,” Bella Widrin said.
