Nothing Unfortunately Sums Up 2013 Better Than Instagram’s #LockdownSelfies Tag

These are literally the faces of how we lived in 2013.

Over the last year, users have been sharing lockdown selfies on Instagram and Twitter. They appear every time there's a shooting or a school goes into lockdown over a potential bomb threat or gunman.

These selfies were taken at Central Connecticut State University on November 4th, after the campus went into lockdown when someone reported a man with a gun.

Many are taken by students who are bored, trapped in dorms or classrooms, as law enforcement determine whether or not a gunman is still active on campus.
