    1. "This is such an Instagram moment."

    E! / Via collegecandy.com

    Why take a picture of our faces at any given moment instead of just quietly filing it away?

    2. "Perfect on the first try."

    youtube.com / Via hollyscoop.com

    For every one picture, you need to have taken 187.

    3. "Do you think you can do more of a closeup?"

    N e v e r.

    4. "We should DEFINITELY take a jumping photo."

    NBC / Via theofficenbc.tumblr.com

    You know there's a 100% chance the picture will capture you the moment that gravity takes a hold of your face and screams "BWAHAHAHAHAHA."

    5. "I should really invest in a selfie stick."

    meh.com

    No.

    6. "Hold on. Get my good side."

    youtube.com

    Every side is basically the same, tbh. Except maybe the back?

    7. "Picture day? YES!"

    Paramount Picture / Via crushable.com

    Is this it? Is this Judgment Day?

    8. "This is my best smile."

    Paramount Pictures / Via teen.com

    The truth is closer to "I'm so nervous about this that I straight-up forgot how to smile."

    9. "Is that a camera? Here I am!"

    gifsec.com

    Because you know that, whenever a camera or a phone pops out, it's your cue to run and hide.

    10. "#NoFilter"

    #EveryFilter

    11. "Bathroooom selfieeeee!"

    Instagram / Via unocero.com

    With that lighting? Would never.

    12. "No funny faces! Just our cutest smiles."

    sipofstarrshine.com

    Funny faces are the mask that we wear to protect ourselves AND you.

    13. "Tag me."

    NBC / Via imgur.com

    ~spends an entire Thursday night quietly untagging Facebook photos~

    14. "OK, pic break at the gym!"

    theberry.com

    Like. It's hard enough to take a relatively normal picture when you're NOT drenched in sweat. Also, it kind of distracts from the actual act of working out.

    15. "Wow! I look even better in this pic than in the mirror."

    Alex Alvarez / BuzzFeed

    THE OPPOSITE IS ALWAYS TRUE.

    And, finally...

    16. "Meh, who cares."

    Wait, this one's TRUE.

    Because no matter how bad you think you look in photos, your face is still a pretty awesome face. And there's much more to life than worrying about it.
