"Okay but why does serotonin stop doing its job during winter every year?"

It's that time of the year again: the absolute worst three weeks of the year for every college student . You don't even have to say it to know that finals week is upon us, and students at universities around the world are super bummed out about it. This is the first December I haven't had to deal with finals week since I was a mere preteen, and I'm incredibly stoked. You're telling me I no longer have to kill myself for 4-6 classes during the most depressing time of the year? Sign me up; being…

Let's face it: it's pretty damn easy to feel bummed when things get tough. Over the past few years, we've been looking for the proverbial light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. And each time we catch a glimpse of anything optimistic in the distance, it's canceled out by yet another terrible world event. At some point, you have to stop hoping that something good will happen and create positivity in the present. That can be done by making a list of things you're grateful for, indulging in a l…

Thanks, I love it

As Mrs. Peacock once said, “Well, someone's got to break the ice, and it might as well be me. I mean, I'm used to looking through memes; it's part of my husband's work. And it's always difficult when a group of new friends meet (to scroll through 30 hilarious images) together for the first time to get acquainted. So I'm perfectly prepared to start the ball rolling. I could start reading the memes out loud if you'd like. Or perhaps, I could pass them around in an orderly fashion. Whatevers going…

Some of you may be familiar with our freelance editor, Mel. She used to work for Memebase full-time, but had to depart for another country after her partner lost his visa. If the lovely chap didn't own his own little apartment in Edinburgh, I would probably feel pretty bad for her. But he does. This means she doesn't really pay rent, and she gets to be somewhere that is not the United States. So I enjoy the Instagram posts featuring great food, adorable foxes, and gorgeous green hills covered w…

ASMR probably doesn't fall under the category of “Pumpkin Spice” vibes

Back again

Well. It's happened. I've gone and contracted Covid-19 again. It started small - with a little scratch in my throat and a low cough. Every year, without fail, I'll get sick with some flu or sinus matter, and then it always turns into bronchitis. So I thought I was cool. But no. I'm stuck in my room typing away with the piddling amount of strength I have left, fighting off the fever and phlegm. Lovely, right? Anyway. When I'm sick as a dog, most of the joy that is derived from everyday life gets…

Who loves orange soda? Only millennials know the answer.

We're 10 days into the World Cup, and already the games have been riddled with drama! Before they even started, members of the international community raised concerns about the games being held in Qatar. The games are being held in a stadium that was built by slave labor, and many of these “workers” died in the process. Qat Some English fans were not allowed to enter the stadium after showing up in battle outfits from the Crusades.

It has always amazed me that the internet has a place for everyone. It has the incredible power to bring people together, and not just thanks to our social media platforms. Because of both meetup sites and meetup apps, people are making real connections with individuals who have similar interests. It's no easy feat to combat excruciating loneliness that seems to hang over many of our heads, so props to these people for taking action. It's great that some individuals can get together IRL, but th…

Bloody brilliant content

Press pause for memes.

Today is the day we've all been waiting for. Today nosy people can finally definitively know what music has been playing in their friends' and acquaintances' headphones over the last 11 months. Today's the day when you remember why you're not paying $9.99 for Apple Music. Today is Spotify Wrapped Release Day. Every year, Spotify gives you stats on all of the abjectly embarrassing music you've been jamming to since January. It tells you your top songs and artists and even curates a playlist of y…
