The 10 Best "College Freshman" Memes

Ahh, to be a college freshman-- universally reviled and derided. You can't get into parties, your friends are people you meet by chance in the dining hall, and even memes mock your essays in self discovery.

In honor of that sordid time, Quickmeme has set about hilariously skewering all the well known cliches of being a college freshman. The meme takes a stock photo of a hapless UNH freshman and sets it to text, such as "Hangs 20 Beer Signs In Dorm... Only Ever Tasted Miller Lite" Laughter ensues.

But who is the poor man in the photo?

According to knowyourmeme.com he is Griffin Kiritsy, who did an interview with a magazine and was asked, innocently enough, to pose for a photo.

But even that was an embarrassing process, redolent with unnecessary ironies.

As he put it,

I ended up on Thompson Hall lawn in the middle of the day in the middle of the week. For those of you who aren’t UNH-ers, it’s like walking in the middle of Main Street during rush hour. And I was there while he took 137,000 photos. Talk about committing social suicide as a first semester freshman.

And there you have it.

#5 is not only true, it should be followed by him berating his teachers for daring to question his innate brilliance.

Unfortunately, Obama took an economics class. Now he thinks opening trade with Korea, Colombia, and Panama will revive our manufacturing, and thinks that giving states and schools bogus incentives to do what he wants them to do will fix our education system.

Meme's and a Huffington Post, a place where people (not including me) who haven't a clue of comedy shouldn't mix

must be a generational thing like that high pitched sound only youngsters can hear...I find this artilcle incredibly obtuse and extremely unfunny. Obtuse--do you even know what that word means--whoever is presenting this post?--I dont actually see anyone taking credit for it. Duh.

The ones from my daughters floor-mates are so much better and more creative. Not that I'm biased or anything.

No kidding. How on earth did the article get posted with all those mistakes?! Ridiculous.

I filled out a "Send Corrections" form. They fixed it (but it shouldn't have happened in the first place).
