Memes are an integral part of millennial culture: we live, breathe, sleep and eat memes. We reference them at least five times a day. It comes as no surprise that, since we're eligible to vote, memes transitioned into our politics as well. The 2016 Nominations were great for generating content for our meme-ing needs. So here are the best memes for each political party in the 2016 Presidential Meme Debate.

The Republicans

Marco Rubio

I never thought I'd find myself saying this, but thank you Donald Trump. Thank you for the gift that was the "Little Marco" meme. It was, truly, quite hilarious.

Ben Carson

Sadly, Ben Carson was used for so many memes and was such an easy target for millennials to poke fun. But hey, we got some good ones out of it.

John Kasich

The combination of the butt of the jokes and the candidate most unlikely to win is another easy target. Everyone likes tossing Kasich and Steve Harvey into the same meme.

Ted Cruz

By far, I think Ted Cruz provided one of the most interesting memes of the 2016 Primaries hands down. This mock conspiracy is absolutely entertaining, and I enjoy annoying my brother by constantly sending him variations of this and information that proves that Ted Cruz is indeed the Zodiac Killer. Have we ever seen him and the Zodiac Killer in the same place before? No. I rest my case.

Donald Trump

He is an endless source of memes that keeps on giving. Everyone is trying to tear down Trump and millennials are no exception. Trump is the reigning king of the Republican primary memes, based on the number of memes of which he is the source.

The Democrats

Hillary Clinton

The main source of memes with Clinton is the email scandal, under which she is currently under investigation. They are proving to be entertaining, and we don't need a secure server to see them.

Bernie Sanders

Mr. Sanders has plenty of millennials voting for him. Consequently, there is a vast resource of memes. If there were to be a Presidential Primaries Meme winner, it would be him.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
