There is no getting around the fact that for many, January is one of the most miserable months. It is the epitome of the party being over and buckling down to do all the unfun things that life requires, whether we like it or not, and who knows if we'll even see the reward at the end of it? Needless to say, this can be demoralizing. It can feel like there are vanishingly few pleasures left to allow ourselves, so we have to make the most of the ones that we can. Seeing as you're here, we have to assume that one of your resolutions wasn't giving up memes, and that's just as well. They are one of the easiest and cheapest ways of putting a smile on your face, even when times seem bleak. Here's hoping that the ones below wind up being capable of doing exactly that for you.
