The 10 Best Memes of 2016
redbubble,net

We can pretty much all universally agree, 2016 was a pretty rough year. Whether it was personal struggles, or issues that affected the world over, everyone felt the pain this year. Thankfully, though we were all put through the ringer, not everyone lost their humor. The Internet has truly outdone itself this year. With that being said, here are some of the most memorable memes of 2016.

1. The Kermit Darkside Meme

This meme was everywhere in 2016 and there was a version of it to fit almost any situation. This particular version of the meme pretty much sums up everyone’s reactions to everything this year, though.

2. Confused Math Lady Meme

Like the Kermit meme, there were several versions of this meme to fit multiple situations, and each version was equally as funny as the last

3. Damn Daniel

Of the many bizarre reasons people on the Internet become famous, this was definitely one of the weirdest, especially since this kid in white Vans and his friend rose to the level of fame to be able to appear on Ellen. Damn.

4. The Why You Always Lying Meme

Not only was the song hilarious, but the dance moves in the video and the memes that were produced out of it were funny as well.

5. The Papaw Meme

This one was heartbreaking. However, the response from the Internet, in which tons of people showed up for dinner with Papaw, proved that there is faith in humanity.

6. The Justin Beiber as a Waiter Meme

There has been no shortage of roasting Justin Beiber over the last few years, and 2016 was not an exception, although this year was tamer than years past.

7. The Obama and Biden Memes

While the presidential election was an emotional rollercoaster for everyone, and many of us are sad to see these two leave the White House, at least we have these memes, and hilarious (and let's be honest, fabricated) memories to remember them by.

8. The Troy Bolton Meme

Yes, High School Musical came out 10 years ago, but Troy Bolton is still as relevant as ever, and his awkward posing made for some funny memes for 2016.

9. The Leo Winning an Oscar Meme

We’ve all been waiting for this moment for over 20 years. And when it finally happened this year, the Internet absolutely lost it. I guess 2016 wasn’t all bad.

10. The Arthur Hand in a Fist Meme

I don’t know about you, but this one made me laugh out loud every time I saw it.

The year 2016 definitely had many ups and downs, but luckily, the people of the Internet were there for us to inject humor into any and every situation when life got us down. I can’t wait to see what the year 2017 will bring, and all of the Internet’s responses to it all.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
