Back at it again with the funny memes.

The One with Memes from 2016

If you didn’t know already, a meme is a humorous image, video, piece of text, etc. that is spread rapidly by Internet users. There were a lot of great memes from this year that seemed to take over everyone’s twitter feeds. Here are a few that hopefully make you laugh!

1.) Damn Daniel!

This meme got really old, really quick, but it was funny while it lasted. This viral video featured and kid name Daniel and his white Vans, and that is basically it. The video got so big he was on an episode of Ellen and got a lifetime supply of vans.

2.) Ken Bone

Ken Bone became an instant meme after one of the political debates this year. I am not sure if it was his sweater, his mustache, or just the fact that it was a humorous break from a very controversial election, but Ken Bone seemed to put a smile on everyone’s face during a stressful time.

3.) Blurry Mr. Krabs

This blurry picture of Mr. Krabs from an episode of Spongebob was huge hit this year. It seemed like you could caption this picture anything and it can perfectly describe your mood.

4.) Spongegar

This meme doesn’t even really need an explanation, mostly because it doesn’t really make sense. But Spongegar, aka Caveman Spongebob, seems to be able to describe you when something unexpected and confusing happens.

5.) Arthur's Fist

Who knew that a picture of an aardvark’s fist could have so many emotions. That’s right, this is Arthur’s fist. The cartoon show that a lot of us watched as kid. This meme seems to be very relatable for angry people who don’t want to express their anger so they clench their fist instead.

6.) Joe Biden

BROMANCE alert! There are so many great pictures of President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden that really show their brotherly relationship. I don’t think we will ever see another iconic duo like Obama and Biden in office.

7.) Harambe

If for some reason you didn’t know, Harmabe was a gorilla from the Cincinnati Zoo who was killed after a young boy fell into his cage. Harambe may not have been intentially harming him, but because he was dragging the child he was. The killing became very controversial, many thought that the gorilla had no right to be killed, while some believed if they tranquallized Harambe it would have made him angry. The internet seems to care a lot about Harambe though considering he became into a meme and internet users mocked his death.

8.)You vs. The Guy She Tells You Not to Worry About

In this meme there are usually two people, often celebrities or television show characters. The person on the left is “you,” and the person on the right is usually a very attractive person that you SHOULD be worried about, but she tells you not to worry.

9.) Little Drake

This year Drake revealed the cover art for his forthcoming Views From the Six, which has a little version of Drake on it. The album got a lot of attention and of course became a meme. This made it way too easy to photoshop Drake in, well just about anything.

10.) Evil Kermit

Last year everyone was using the meme of Kermit drinking tea, but this is the latest meme that seems to be well deserving of a “MEEEEEEEE.” This hysterical picture of Kermit and “Evil Kermit” is good for describing battles with your inner-self.

New memes were introduced every month in 2016. People were flipping their water bottles, clenching their fists, and naming iconic duos. Hopefully 2017 can deliver even more great memes.

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.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week.
