“I’ve been addicted to Instagram lately and noticed a lot of overlapping themes in other people’s and my own uploads,” Zhou writes. “Here’s an illustrated guide on the most common pictures!”

P.S. On an unrelated note, Zhou is using her love for art, design, and Japanese cuteness culture (AKA “kawaii”) for a business called Maqaroon, through which she’s selling cute, gold-plated jewelry.
