A Love Letter To Imgur

Because they weren't internet famous enough.

A Love Letter To Imgur
Imgur

Indeed, there exists a community of loving, meme-sharing individuals that just want to use dogs to help make this world a better place. I mostly want to pay tribute to the glorious work these gents pull off every day, but I will also try to show you, gentle reader, what it is that gives Imgur its own unique, off-brand flavor. Wherever possible, I will include definitions in parentheses for your benefit.

When you were a kid, did you ever rewind scenes from movies when the characters said something in a weird voice or made a funny face? Imgur is a place where people who never got tired of doing that may go. The greatest memes constantly make front page (place where the most upvoted content goes), greats like:

Confession Bear

Conspiracy Keanu

And Success Kid

Not just arrestingly funny, some of these creations can get surprisingly deep. I once or twice found myself moved by them, for instance by this Confession Bear which I still remember from over half a year ago:

Not once have I ever seen the Imgur community lash out at anyone trying to express genuine and real feeling. It feels nice to see a group who can understand the difference between a good laugh and a serious conversion conversation. Of course, the people in the comments section do sometimes make the front page, too, and the results are always glorious.

Never before have I seen so much sassiness in one place.

Never have I seen so much anarchy either (but then again, I haven't been on 4chan)...

...or cuteness!

All in one place! Absolutely perfect for procrastinating on tests or prolonged trips to the bathroom (hey, I won't ask). I beg of you to give the website a try. If you don't like the look of anything that pops up, try sorting the images based on what you think you would like to see (my personal favorite being science and tech). Even if you don't like it, then the most you did was waste time, which was kind of the website's point, to begin with.

Trash panda tax.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

1. People assume you are mad all of the time.

2. Ten out of ten times you will give off an intimidating impression to others.

3. People do not acknowledge your feelings because you "do not have any."

4. Constantly being exhausted from trying to smile and not look like a witch.

5. And on the rare occasion your facial expressions show how happy you are, your friends think you are going crazy.

6. Each of your friends has said "I thought you were so mean when I first met you" at some point.

7. Then they follow that by saying "you are just hard to read."

8. So naturally if people do not know you they just assume you are a snob.

9. And when you are actually mad, your facial expressions are horrifying.

10. In the end you always look like you are judging people, when in reality people are ALWAYS judging you.
