What A Time To Be Alive

When dreams become memes.

What A Time To Be Alive
Know Your Meme

It's such an amazing time to be alive right now. Not because of all the great technology avaliable to me in the 21st century, that is ever so slowly bringing us closer together as a species. Not becasue, thanks to the ubiquity of smart phones, all the information I could ever want is avaliable to me 24/7. Not becuase of the massive amounts of mulitmedia entertainment around to keep me perpetually entertained. It's a beautiful time to be alive in America becuase my two favorite things in this world just merged together: Politics and Dank Memes.

In a truely brilliant stroke of attempted millennial outreach, the Hillary Clinton Campaign made the assertion that Pepe the Frog is synonymous with White Supremecy. Understandably, defenders of Pepe were rather upset that their beloved manic frog was being linked, through Simone Biles caliber mental gymnastics, to White Supremecy. I, on the other hand, want to personally thank Hillary Clinton and her campaign becuase she just gave me an excuse to post the dankest Pepe memes I can find, in order to demonstrate the diversity of this classic gem, and make a relevant political statement using those memes. A rare oppurtunity, almost as rare as this actual White Supremecist Pepe that CNN made:


Pepe doesn't support the superiority of the white race, instead he supports motherhood:

Pepe is motivational

Pepe promotes friendship

Pepe is enjoyed by people of all ages

You can even use Pepe to help your campaign

Pepe is the conduit for social commentary

Pepe is even an inspirational basketball star

See Hillary Clinton, how can you say Pepe is a symbol of white supremacy when he stands for so much more? It couldn't be because your campaign is so out of touch with the world, especially millennials, that you aren't even aware of memes and internet culture, could it?

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
