11 Ways The UNC Meme Page On Facebook Can Actually Teach A Few Things And Has Enlightened Me

Melanie Irizarry

Carol Folt's $4.25B Memorial Meme Stash (UNC) is UNC's largest meme community, clocking in at above 14,000 members. However, the page is good for more than laughs: through my time scrolling Facebook, I've learned some pretty real life stuff because of this meme page. Here's 11 thing I've learned about through this glorious Facebook group.

1. Phillips flooded.

Meredith Norman

Phillips, I'll never let you go.

2. Weeknight parking passes are going to be a thing.

Harrison Liu

RIP to the free, convenient weeknight parking.

3. What pollen actually looks like!!!

Ryan Chan

Who knew?

4. This red ball that was moving around campus

Madelyn Smith

Why see it first in real life when you can see it in a meme first?

5. Duke's research scandal

Maddie Carney

The devil is a lie and so is Dook.

6. Carol Folt going to USC!

Tanner Fadero

Aunt Becky scandal > racist statue scandal ????

7. Bell Tower Climb fast pass/caste system

Julia Gallagher

Hark the Sound.

8. Senior bar golf???

Olivia Park

So Senior Bar Golf is totally a thing that I had just never heard of before — you guessed it — I saw it on the meme page.

9. The spider statue.

Peggy Mullin

What better way is there to learn that UNC's been raided by spiders?

None. There are none.

10. Cherie Berry is retiring :(

Nathan Collier

And now there is an elevator-shaped void in all of our hearts, and a Cherie-shaped void in all of our elevators.

11. Love is ALIVE at UNC

Corbin Jones

And in this case, it comes in the form of an 8-legged beauty.

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.
