Best Farming Memes

Excellent news for all farmers and farmer supporters - there seems to be a trend budding on the horizon in internet and meme culture. Though we have yet to see if this trend will really "take root," it looks like farming memes have been - get this one - "cropping" up with increasing frequency lately in various online circles. Finally! Some recognition for the humble tillers of the land. This sort of meme certainly has a history, but it's only now that there are enough memes being produced to potentially constitute an identifiable phenomenon.

Here are some important farming memes that everyone should be aware of.

1. Classic Farming Memes

This farming meme is a sort of classic - one might call it the father of farming memes. I can't find a definite date or place of origin, but one Facebook group called "Farming memes" posted it in 2014, making the meme at least two years old. There are several other memes of this caliber, many of which I could find on best-farming-memes.tumblr.com. Here is a lesser-known example:

All the posts on this blog are also about two years old, and adhere to a similar format. These types of posts would occasionally get passed around as oddities - "farming memes" was a joke rather than an actual phenomenon.

2. Farmsuggestion

Flash forward to March 24, 2016. Amidst the growing popularity of "suggestion" blogs, "farmsuggestion" makes its first post - "yehaw." The blog continued to post things that might be relatable to farmers. Here is an example of a farmsuggestion:

This blog has made several popular posts, and in my opinion, could be the cause of the trend of new types of farming memes being made, such as the ones I will discuss next:

3. Farmer Reminders/Farmer Culture

In the past few weeks, posts like these have been making the rounds, which alerted me that a trend might be forming. Here is another such pro-farmer post:

Will this wave of farmer positivity continue to build? Only time will tell. In the meantime, be on the lookout for more farming memes. Invest in meme capital. Keep your eye on the corn prices. It could be huge.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

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.
