The United Scandal - And The Memes That Came From It
Bloomberg

As everyone may know by now, United Airlines recently underwent a massive public scandal which has been extremely publicized. So what really happened?

Apparently, United Airlines overbooked a flight, and needed someone to get off the plane in order for everyone to be able to fly. It has been said that one man in particular initially volunteered to change flights, but after he got on the plane changed his mind, and wanted to stay. United Airlines was visibly unhappy with this decision, and forcefully yanked this man out of his seat and dragged him out of the plane.

This type of airplane treatment, especially by United, is unheard of, which is why so many people were shocked by this. It was extremely off-putting seeing the video that other passengers took of this innocent man being dragged off the plane, so I decided to look further into it to see if there were any other details.

Upon looking into the scandal more, I was shocked to find that the Internet had done what the Internet always tends to do - it had created many different memes directly addressing the scandal and completely making fun of United Airlines.

Even Southwest Airlines joined in on the fun too.

College Informations

Most of us have already started the spring semester, and for those of you who haven't started yet, you suck.

It seems like coming back from winter break wouldn't really be a break all things considered, since we all come back to school and pick up right where we left off. We know exactly what to expect, yet we're unprepared every single time.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
