This is my official attempt to convince everyone who still thinks they’re too good for BeReal to download the app. For those of you who (somehow?) don’t know what BeReal is, it’s an app that notifies you once a day at a random time to take a picture using your front and back cameras. It’s fun! It’s silly! It also helps me remember when the last time I did my laundry was. To reflect on the six months I’ve had BeReal, here are the best and worst moments I’ve captured:
October 31, 2022
This was on Halloween night when my friends and I did our second annual bar crawl. I always love it when the BeReal goes off when we’re all together because all of our pictures are the exact same but at different angles. It’s like Spider-Man pointing at himself, but in real life.
October 14, 2022
I waited for my dentist for ten minutes only for her to come in, stick her fingers in my mouth, and tell me that I need to floss more. Where are you supposed to look when they do that? Should you gaze longingly into their eyes? I wanna show that I’m listening to them. On the plus side, she gave me these sick sunglasses.
October 8, 2022
I am insanely proud of this one. BeReal went off super late, right as I was getting settled in, and instead of a boring picture, I decided to spice things up and throw my phone. This took about twelve tries (which isn’t very real of me, I know), but it’s one of my absolute favourite BeReals I’ve ever taken. As you can see, October was a good month for me.
July 27, 2022
I went to the washroom, sat down, and opened my phone. Ding! This is probably the most real I’ve been.
March 29, 2022
This was a legendary day for me. I was super hungover and couldn’t stomach any food. Sounds were too loud and I wore sunglasses in the shower because it was too bright in there. I was also going to an Olivia Rodrigo concert that night. (In case you’re wondering, I was fine and I had a great time! I sobbed through “drivers license.”)
July 19, 2022
Ah yes, I’ll always remember July 19 thanks to this BeReal. My boyfriend broke up with me on this day! Luckily, I was prepared because I listened to “All Too Well (Sad Girl Autumn Version) (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)” beforehand.
Aug 12, 2022
My friends and I have an inside joke on BeReal where once in a while, I’ll post one with my feet in it (yes, for free… but only when engagement is low). On this day, my friends and I went to the beach and BeReal went off at the exact moment we decided to dip our dawgs in the water. If you direct your eyes towards me (on the right), my smile is filled with pure deviousness. (I’ve censored our feet for the sake of everyone reading.)
