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?

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.
