    Twitter. Facebook. Instagram. I guarantee that you have seen these photos, in various forms, at least 4,596 times. Each with new --but predictable-- tints, tones and filters. And while it may grow monotonous, you can always count on these five pictures showing up in your social media feeds.

    Coffee Art

    Louisville Skyline 

    "Huh… I’ve never seen Louisville from this side of the Ohio. Now, let me just filter this. Maybe it would look better in black and white? No, I am thinking a sepia tint is more my style. There. Louisville looks gorgeous now thanks to me."

    5.

    College sports-inspired Pinterest projects

    "Okay, one last tuft of red/blue tulle and my UofL/UK decorative game day wreath is complete! I now have 32 of varying sizes to put on every door and cabinet handle in my home and have put photos of every last one on Facebook."
