Caroline Calloway is fascinated. It's not just a running theme among her popular Instagram posts about her life at Cambridge University -- she repeatedly expresses amazement at the fact that a reporter thinks she's interesting enough to write about.

Constantly hurling insults at herself, Calloway laughs that she's not answering questions coherently, and claims she's suspicious some of her 418,000 Instagram followers are alias accounts her mom runs.

"It's definitely not cool to be so in awe of things," Calloway says, a nod to the posts about how glamorous Cambridge can be. "It's definitely very embarrassing and not very classy at all. But I can't tell what would be sadder: to react to these things in the right way or to live without wonder entirely."

Calloway, 23, has attracted Internet fame because her Instagram account doesn't just feature interesting photos, but a couple hundred words of prose with each post. She writes about her own life, telling her story over the past two years as someone who moved from New York City to England to study at Cambridge, and about her romance with Oscar, her charming neighbor on campus-turned-boyfriend.
