If you're currently in college then you probably often hear your parents say that college is easy compared to the "real world." While we'd have to agree that that is true, we do also understand how horrible it is to study for exams and do homework every day.
In summary, the grass is always greener on the other side.
For some reason it's really hard for some parents to understand how taking care of their precious offspring could be considered "work" for anyone. Believe it or not, we all gotta get paid.
Entitled people like this lady need to take a big bite out of reality - nothing in life is free!
As millennials on the older side of the generation, we were actually lucky to have experienced life before the internet was used for everything. It's definitely built character and probably lent us a little extra resourcefulness. Sometimes we feel like our grandparents talking about walking a mile in the snow to school when we talk about the days before smartphones, and this little text exchange between a post-millennial and an older, wiser person will show you exactly why.
Finally band geeks can get some goddamn recognition around here. Because let's face it, you probably weren't the coolest kid in high school and you had to wear those dorky costumes at football games. We can only hope that these entertaining memes will serve as some sort of consolation prize!
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?
Can you guys believe it's already back-to-school time? We certainly can't. Although, you should really cherish the time you have in college because lemme tell you, the real world suuuucks. We know that's a total cliche, but it's true. Homework and exams are annoying as hell, but trust us, getting up at 6am every single morning and not having summer breaks is worse.
Anyone who hasn't gone through grad school will never understand the trials and tribulations one must endure just to earn that piece of paper in the end, and then hopefully get a job some day.
Whether you're in med school, law school, or working on your public policy dissertation, we think these memes will definitely relate to you!
It's that time of year again! The time of year where students everywhere are getting nightmares from the plethora of back-to-school ads on TV, and their parents are simultaneously jumping for joy over the thought of their kids being out of the house all day.
While we can't make the new school year come any slower, we can give you some memes to giggle over! Whether you're in middle school, high school or college, the sentiment here is all-encompassing.
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.
