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.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
