Every finals season, there seems to be a new Facebook trend that emerges just in time to prove that students would rather do literally anything than study. In the past, the competition of who can bump the most embarrassing photos of their friends from their middle school days has been the go-to time waster, but now, there is a new Internet meme; fake Facebook events. Perhaps people ran out of ugly photos to rediscover on Facebook, or maybe these events are the only thing students can say they are going to while confined to the library, but either way, they make everyone temporarily chuckle and forget their impending doom. Here are just some of the funniest fake Facebook events you should be “interested” in attending (because you need to procrastinate somehow):
1. “Make sangria & drink alone in ur apartment while watching Beans from Even Stevens”
Location of event: “Trader’s Joe’s Wine Shop”
2. “Listening to old drake songs and cry”
Description of event: “Take care.”
3. “Drop out of school to become a cat”
Description of event: “Cats don't need to take exams, so why should you?”
4. “Pretend to be Adele pretending to be an Adele impersonator impersonating herself”
Description of event: “hello. it's me. or is it?”
5. “Weird fake event to show everyone how quirky and cool I am”
Description of event: “You probably think Wes Anderson is a good director and Zooey Deschanel is actually funny.”
6. “Become an actual potato”
Location of event: “Hell”
7. “Devour a hotdog with one bite”
Description of event: “Gobble gobble.”
8. “No time 2 study 2 busy attending fake Facebook events”
Description of event: “is gon b lit fam”
9. “Thinking you lost all hope but then losing that last additional bit of hope you didn’t even know you had”
Description of event: “life sux/evry1 is evil”
10. “Cry and eat ice cream because it’s ok to fail finals”
Location of event: “Baskin-Robbins”
11. “Give ur goldfish a bath bc you’re procrastinating studying for finals”
Description of event: “finals are coming up. are u ready??????????????????”
12. “Eat Top Ramen and cry during finals week”
Date of event: “1 December 2016 – 12 December 2016"
(Probably because you’ll still be crying about finals in a year from now, too.)
13. “Calculating what you need on the final to pass and crying”
Description of event: “The tears are real and salty.”
14. “Crying and Eating Bread by Yourself on the Floor”
Description of event: “I like crying. I like eating bread. I like being by myself. I like lying on the floor. I thought I would combine all four into one epic night of self pity and regret. Tissues and light refreshments will be provided (see note).
note: refreshments will not include bread. The event is BYOB: Bring Your Own Bread (see note ii)
note ii: bread cannot be gluten free. Bagels are accepted.”
Notice how many events included crying and failing finals. This Internet meme probably has a two-week lifespan at the longest, and once finals end, so will this fad. In the meantime, enjoy these fake events because anything is better than studying for finals.
