We've got to hand it to the creators of starter pack memes. While some starter packs are easy (grandma starter pack, high school teacher starter pack) most require a good deal of thought. While the format itself is super versatile, it's hard to pull 'em off in a way that does the subject justice. These starter packs, carefully selected from the r/starterpack subreddit, are the best we've seen lately. And we're here to share 'em with you.

These people might not be breaking Mensa, but they sure have some quality brains. In this gallery you'll find it all: crafty moms tricking their children into imbibing medicine, fiery tumblr posts, and clever life hacks we wish we'd thought of. Happy scrolling! 

If you're craving a little more edge than you usually get from memes, these unsettling pics will probably satisfy your horrific cravings. From offensive takes on real issues (how little money teachers make) to horribly tasteless jokes about a father's death, these memes have the extra dash of spice that'll make you shake your head in a good way.

We love that teachers and professors have been getting creative with memes in the classroom. It's important to stay current, and using humor to connect with students is an amazing way to earn their respect. Twitter user and teacher @theyloveNoonie has definitely scored an A+ in this area by making these amazing "Ight Imma Head Out" Spongebob meme hall passes, and the internet is responding with a whole lot of admiration and respect. It's one thing to teach a college course in memes, but we think that adding spice to classroom mundanity via memesis even cooler. 

These kids may have technically gotten their test and homework questions totally wrong, but we think they deserve some credit for being clever. Like, way more clever than anything we (fully grown adults) could ever come up with. Okay, that might not be saying much, but you understand the sentiment.

Whether you're in school, out of school, or teaching school, these memes are sure to hit pretty damn close to home. For us, the days of bullshitting have just shifted from doin' it for free to doing it for our paltry wages. We all have to grow up at some point.

Whether you've been out of school for years or are desperately waiting for your high school or college graduation, these memes will definitely hit you where it hurts. Toiling away for some promise of a future isn't always rewarding, but at least we have the memes to remind us that we're anything but alone.
