13 Of The Dankest Memes Of All Time

Merriam-Webster dictionary defines the word meme as, "an amusing or interesting item (such as a captioned picture or video) or genre of items that is spread widely online especially through social media."

I consider myself a connoisseur of meme culture. Through meticulous research, surveys of my friends/peers, and my own personal opinions, I have compiled a list of the 13 Best Memes of All Time.

Some of the memes mentioned are purely innocent and honestly, just funny. Others were just asking to be made fun of.

13. Harambe


Out of respect for our fallen hero, Harambe will forever be in our hearts. RIP.


12. "I am legally blind!"

This is definitely a staple in my household. "Can you see?" "BARELY!"


11. Confused Mr. Krabs


Are you feeling it now, Mr. Krabs? We have all been in this moment at some point, the world starts spinning and your brain gets fuzzy. Mr. Krabs never fails to be relatable.


10. Sweet Brown

My response to everything. The autotune remix of this news interview has almost 60 million views.


9. Hide Yo Kids, Hide Yo Wife

Personally, I don't know whether to be ashamed because he is from Alabama like me or proud because it is one of the most iconic memes of all time. The Antoine Dodson vs. Bed Intruder song went viral with almost 65 million views on Youtube.

8. Ermahgerd Girl


The face says it all. The unfortunate picture of Maggie Goldenberger shot to fame after it grew popular on Reddit. It had people everywhere saying "Ermahgerd!" Fun Fact: Maggie is now a nurse living in Arizona.


7. Joe Biden


After Donald Trump was elected, the Internet was quick to make light of it. At the brunt of the joke was then-Vice President Joe Biden. A bright light in the dark times for some, it is safe to say that he has become the VP of memes.


6. Nicolas Cage


It seems like everything Nicolas Cage does is meme worthy. Most of his memes have roots from Reddit. Just to name a few of his others: Nick Cage has great hair, Nick Cage in The Wicker Man, and Nick Cage as everyone.


5. But That's None of My Business


Kermit the Frog might actually be the king of memes. But That's None of My Business is now associated with every sarcastic insult spoken while spilling the tea. Along with this meme, Evil Kermit is one of the most popular memes currently.


4. Bad Luck Brian


One of the most iconic memes of all time. A longtime friend of Brian's submitted the picture on, you guessed it, Reddit. Fun Fact: Brian's real name is Kyle.


3. Grumpy Cat


Grumpy Cat was so ridiculously popular that the meme itself has its own website with merchandise available for purchase as well as a Facebook page with 8.7 million likes. In 2014 the Grumpy Cat meme got its own feature film called "Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever."


2. Gavin

Gavin first rose to meme fame after appearing often in his uncle, Nick Mastodon's, Vine videos. Quickly, the many faces of Gavin became widely used reactions images. Admit it, his face epitomizes what we are thinking half the time.


1. Rickroll


RICK. ASTLEY. "Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down." I know you know the words! He was a meme before memes were even a thing. Trolling through your parents' emails, Rick Astley goes down as the most OG in meme history. To this day, Rickrolling links will always be clicked on.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.

Growing up I have always wanted to own a horse. My grandparents own a well known equestrian facility in Georgia, so I have been riding since I was born. A bond between a person and their horse is a bond so strong that it cannot be broken. Everywhere I went I wanted to be around horses, even forcing my family to go on trail rides during vacations. Horses have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember has taught me great responsibility, as well as 14 things that all equestrians can relate to.

College is super hard. Between working, studying, and having a social life, it feels like a struggle to just keep afloat.

I understand. When you feel like your drowning and there's no way to stay afloat I understand that it feels like everyone else is doing just fine. I understand all the frustration, long nights in the library, and that feeling that you want to just throw in the towel. I understand that sometimes it's too hard to get out of bed because your brain is already filled with too much information to remember. I understand because I am also feeling pretty burnt out.

Some of the best advice I've ever received was from my social studies teacher in sophomore year of high school. He stated, "If you don't know it at midnight, you're not going to know it for the 8 a.m. exam, so get some sleep."

It's such a simple piece of advice, but it holds so much accuracy and it's something that the majority of college students need to hear and listen to. "All-nighters" are a commonality on college campuses in order to cram in studying for an exam that is typically the next day.
