A Love Letter To Imgur

Because they weren't internet famous enough.

A Love Letter To Imgur
Imgur

Indeed, there exists a community of loving, meme-sharing individuals that just want to use dogs to help make this world a better place. I mostly want to pay tribute to the glorious work these gents pull off every day, but I will also try to show you, gentle reader, what it is that gives Imgur its own unique, off-brand flavor. Wherever possible, I will include definitions in parentheses for your benefit.

When you were a kid, did you ever rewind scenes from movies when the characters said something in a weird voice or made a funny face? Imgur is a place where people who never got tired of doing that may go. The greatest memes constantly make front page (place where the most upvoted content goes), greats like:

Confession Bear

Conspiracy Keanu

And Success Kid

Not just arrestingly funny, some of these creations can get surprisingly deep. I once or twice found myself moved by them, for instance by this Confession Bear which I still remember from over half a year ago:

Not once have I ever seen the Imgur community lash out at anyone trying to express genuine and real feeling. It feels nice to see a group who can understand the difference between a good laugh and a serious conversion conversation. Of course, the people in the comments section do sometimes make the front page, too, and the results are always glorious.

Never before have I seen so much sassiness in one place.

Never have I seen so much anarchy either (but then again, I haven't been on 4chan)...

...or cuteness!

All in one place! Absolutely perfect for procrastinating on tests or prolonged trips to the bathroom (hey, I won't ask). I beg of you to give the website a try. If you don't like the look of anything that pops up, try sorting the images based on what you think you would like to see (my personal favorite being science and tech). Even if you don't like it, then the most you did was waste time, which was kind of the website's point, to begin with.

Trash panda tax.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
