The United Scandal - And The Memes That Came From It
Bloomberg

As everyone may know by now, United Airlines recently underwent a massive public scandal which has been extremely publicized. So what really happened?

Apparently, United Airlines overbooked a flight, and needed someone to get off the plane in order for everyone to be able to fly. It has been said that one man in particular initially volunteered to change flights, but after he got on the plane changed his mind, and wanted to stay. United Airlines was visibly unhappy with this decision, and forcefully yanked this man out of his seat and dragged him out of the plane.

This type of airplane treatment, especially by United, is unheard of, which is why so many people were shocked by this. It was extremely off-putting seeing the video that other passengers took of this innocent man being dragged off the plane, so I decided to look further into it to see if there were any other details.

Upon looking into the scandal more, I was shocked to find that the Internet had done what the Internet always tends to do - it had created many different memes directly addressing the scandal and completely making fun of United Airlines.

Even Southwest Airlines joined in on the fun too.

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.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
