From hating on geese to critiquing dining hall foods, here are some Instagram accounts to view when in need of a laugh during finals and a stressful end to the semester.
Most college campuses have their assortment of large squirrels, with NIU being no different.
Whether it’s leftover food from the dining halls or the abundance of acorns nearby, the squirrels on campus appear to be heavier than average.
This account takes in photo submissions from users and shames squirrels on each post. It’s a good laugh, especially with the aggression in each caption.
Everybody loves a comfortable seat. Especially one anonymous Instagram user who goes around showcasing chairs on campus.
With over 200 posts, this account highlights all sorts of chairs on campus, including non-functional toilets, piano benches and folding chairs.
Aside from pictures of chairs, @niuchairs has been seen commenting on various NIU affiliated accounts, especially when the photos involve a person sitting.
Recently, they commented on the Northern Star’s treasure hunt Instagram post and hoped the paperweight was underneath a chair. Sorry to disappoint you, @niuchairs.
If you hate how geese leave their droppings on the sidewalk or hiss while they walk, then this account is for you.
Every picture is of the account owner giving the bird to these birds and cussing them out in the caption.
The location on campus where the geese are getting flipped off is different in each post, making followers wonder where the NIU geese hater will strike next.
Serving as the Yelp reviewer for on-campus dining is @huskiediningcritic.
Posts are brutally honest, descriptive and showcase the good and bad that every dining hall’s food had to offer.
Each caption includes a long description of the anonymous user’s thoughts and opinions on the food, noting the appearance, taste and scent.
For a short period, the owner of the account was allegedly battling with a campus dining worker named Denise over pizza. It’s uncertain whether this argument existed.
Unfortunately, the account owner posted a final review and farewell announcement on Dec. 12, 2025. A new reviewer was supposed to take over, as seen in the caption, yet users patiently await their arrival.
The NIU Backrooms Instagram account highlights spots on campus that come off as liminal spaces.
Each location is given a certain level similar to the 4chan thread created back in 2019.
In addition, each post includes a brief caption on the location describing the lighting, temperature and associated psychological feeling.
Every post concludes with what fictional entities await users who visit the location.
It’s eerie and funny seeing the time dedicated to each post of seemingly irrelevant locations, and great for those that are fans of creepypasta.
