Most Memorable Memes Of 2016

The meme- also known as the scourge of the internet. They plague us in phases, new trends replacing the old. As 2016 comes to a close, let's look back on the meme's of 2016- and like Harambe, may they all rest in peace.

Arthur's Fist

This meme stemmed from a childhood classic of TV character Arthur. It's literally just a picture of his clenched fist, and people write a grievance as the caption. (This one moves away from the classic Impact Font overlay) And is sometimes altered to fit the caption, as above.

Dat Boi

Does anyone really know the purpose of dat boi? He's a frog on a unicycle. His meme doesn't truly have a type- he's been used in many ways.

Joe Biden

One of my personal favorites of 2016: the Biden memes involve candid photos of United States Vice President Joe Biden, usually with a humorous caption.

Evil Kermit

We're no strangers to Kermit being featured in memes, with the "But That's None of my Business" meme being ever popular. This years Kermit Meme features the green frog we all know and love, and a version of himself (usually portrayed as his "evil" self) wearing a black robe. Normal Kermit is thinking something, and then evil Kermit will tell him the opposite.

Don't Talk to me or my Son ever Again.

A object and a smaller version of the same object featuring the phrase "don't talk to me or my son ever again" or some variation of that.

Spongegar

This Spongebob meme plays on our deep, primal instinct. He is a reaction to another event.

Harambe. (May he rest in Peace)

The gorilla who was killed at the Cincinnati zoo became a meme martyr. However, Harambe memes do not follow a typical format, or any format for that matter. They simply exist.

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?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
