college

At this point we've accepted that we're going to be paying for our unimpressive bachelor's degrees until we die. At the very least it feels that way. Every payment hurts, and what hurts more is that it's just a drop in the damn bucket. But at least we're not alone. These student loan tweets really speak to our debt-ridden and depressed asses. 

Louisiana State University recently tweeted photos of their insanely fancy football locker rooms which reportedly cost them $28 million to renovate. Louisiana is one of the most impoverished states in the country and the tweet had people asking why the school wasn't making more of an effort to put that money toward education, or at the very least paying the athletes.

Here are some of the reaction tweets.

If you're not familiar with what "manspreading" is, it's the stereotype that men tend to take up more space than necessary in public spaces by spreading their legs. Women, on the other hand, are stereotyped as trying to take up as little space as possible by crossing their legs or keeping them tightly closed.

A student at the University of Brighton was fed up with dudes taking up too much room on the bus so she created an art project called the "Manspreading Chair," which forces men to keep their legs closed. 

Whether or not you believe manspreading is a cultural problem, you gotta admit that the whole thing is pretty effing meme-able!

Twitter user Oscarewilde proved she's an evil genius when she decided to lend out an absurdly large pencil she received as a gift. The result of lending the thing out is often quite awkward, as you'd imagine. You gotta find some use for a ridiculous gag gift like that after all, right?

Working may not be fun, but it sure as hell beats studying. Money will always feel more gratifying than the abstract "reward" of a good grade. These memes really sum up our feelings about school. 

Congratulations, grads! You're now entering the real world, which means you'll be enjoying some delicious instant noodles daily and crying over countless job-application rejections! 

In all seriousness though, congrats on your achievement- getting through school isn't easy and we really wish that college graduates were more appreciated in our world today. You know, with jobs and stuff...

Earlier this week writer Caroline Moss asked Twitter to share moments of their lives that seemed more like a bad movie than something IRL. She offered up a tale of being broken up for "not being Jewish enough" while at a National concert. During the set. Many of the responses to her request dwarf her experience in the cringe zone - here are some of the most painful tales we could dig up.

We've finally made it to May! Do you know what that means? Yeah, summer is "around the corner," but before everyone can sit back and relax, there are millions of stressed students getting ready for the absolute hell that is finals week. Between the cramming, working for pennies, and internships, it is to be expected that mental health is at an all time low. Fortunately for our scholars, we have some memes here that will remind the study-addled that they're not alone.
