Top Memes of 2016

America is the land of the free, home of the brave, and country of the jokes. As a nation, we make humor of everything that is prominent in our mass media. For example, Saturday Night Live has made a multi-million dollar industry out of turning the day’s news into the night’s comedy. While it’s not always Saturday, we do always have our phones close and our social medias open. Memes are a popular trend for this generation, so let’s take a look at this year’s most popular memes so far.

Spongegar: This is a flash from the past. Prehistoric Spongebob, an unforgettable character from our childhood, has returned and is taking the internet by storm.

Petty Skai Jackson: The Jessie and Bunk’d actress was photographed backstage at an event, and the photo has since gone viral in the form of some of the internet’s funniest memes.

Ted Cruz the Zodiac Killer: Former Presidential nominee bears an uncanny resemblance to drawings of the infamous Zodiac Killer. The internet noticed and ran with it.

Jordan Cry Face: Michael Jordan was photographed at an emotional moment, and after some cropping and photoshop the photo went viral as a comedic sensation.

DJ Khaled: The DJ turned lifestyle guru after an interview-- in which he coined the phrases "another one" and “you played yourself”-- went viral

Mr. Krabs Blur: Here is yet another flashback to our childhoods. The cheapskate Mr. Krabs perfectly captures the reaction to almost any situation.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

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.

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

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.
