College students: whether you're right in the middle of your semester or about to start cramming your a$$ off for finals, we're betting that these memes will resonate with you. You're probably stressed out one way or another, so we hope memes can help you relax for a brief moment.
Happy studying to everyone except...ahem... certain people whose celebrity parents bought their way into school.
In light of this week's clusterf*ck of a news story involving a bunch of rich celebrities bribing their spoiled kids' ways into the nation's top colleges, people on Twitter are parodying the situation by highlighting the satirical ways that they themselves were admitted into college, without relying on trust funds from stupidly wealthy parents. Anyone who's endured the trials and tribulations of college applications, pulling study all-nighters, and crippling student debt will be able to relate to these tweets hardcore.
Are y'all ready for a mess of a news story? Lori Loughlin, AKA Aunt Becky from Full House, was taken into custody this morning for participating in a huge college admissions sting to get her completely unqualified daughter admitted into the University of Southern California. Several other wealthy celebrities were involved, including Desperate Housewives' Felicity Huffman and her husband William H. Macy.
Charges so far include $25 million in bribes to university authorities and fabrication of credentials to be admitted into some of the top universities in the nation.
Some have pointed out that Loughlin's daughter, Olivia Jade Giannulli, would never have been admitted to USC on her own academic merit. Giannulli, a prominent beauty YouTuber, even admitted in a video back in August that she plans to focus more on college parties than her classes.
Under the monikers #FreeAuntBecky and #CollegeAdmissionScandal, many memers and Twitter users have expressed their frustration at the situation, pointing out that regular people have to get admitted to universities on actual academic merit and not absurdly rich parents.
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.
I technically wasn't lying.
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.
Are you in college? Then chances are, right now you're writing an essay, studying for finals, crying, or perhaps even out drinking to forget about the pain. Okay let's be real, you're probably out drinking, avoiding all of your responsibilities. If you want further distraction from the studying you're not doing, have some memes!
