Basically just yellow journalism.

In This Article:

Hello my dear, singular reader. The Meme Examiner is a new weekly series brought to you by the creative, and often disturbing mind, of the internet "memer"(if you will allow me to use technical language).

The goal of each volume is to pick apart 10 memes that I find particularly interesting, and through doing that, completely eliminate any sort of humor that they may hold within.

Memes:

1. T(r)opical!

Is a little cold weather too much to ask?

This first meme goes out to all of you who live on the east coast. As you can see, this particular meme includes a dialogue between the residents of the Eastern Seaboard of the United States and Mother Nature. It also features a rather alarming picture of Hurricane Florence as it hurtles towards our beautiful North Carolina coast. Maybe memes will save us.

​2. Checkmate Atheists!​

Thanks God!

Whether you believe in the Christian story of creation, or you prefer to subscribe to some other reason for our existence, someone has to answer for the incredible amount of Wii Sports skill that has been bestowed upon me.

​3. Football Season​

Wow! Look at us go.

I have to say, living in a country that is just so dominant in one of the most important aspects of life is so empowering. Wouldn't you agree?

4. Daily Elon Drama

Oof

Oh how relatable you are, beloved meme. Such pseudo-sillies, am I right Sartre?

5. Vaccines Please!

Mom Power!

Oh wow the memes are getting spicy and controversial this week! I know it's a contentious topic, but please, for the betterment of the human (and planetary race), vaccinate your children.

6. Conversion Bonanza!

Just when we thought we had achieved world peace

"The Office" memes never go out of style. They offer such tension and dry-humor to the average Netflix binge watcher, so why not the Internet surfer?

7. Watch out for them Commies!

She should have disclosed that before marriage!

Wow, the blending of generic text with a vintage movie poster really increases the overall visual appeal of this meme. Its message is also straightforward and poignant, 10/10.

8. Side of Beef!

I think this one speaks for itself.

9. The Forbidden "Friendzone"

Objection!

One of my favorite species of meme is the "too real" post. Memes that deliver a message that strikes close to home while maintaining a veil of humor. I think this one fits the bill.

10. The Finale!

Let them eat cake!

Cute or chubby animal - ✅

Clever historical reference - ✅

Short and sweet - ✅

That's all she wrote this week folks! And by she, I mean me.

Goodbye.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
