A Rucksack of Memes To Throw Over Your Shoulder

I don't know about your school, but at my school, all the cool kids were one-strapping it. If you were caught with both of your backpack straps tightened across your body (like the manufacturer intended) then you were as good as shunned. Never mind that it gave us all back and neck pain that has sustained into adulthood, we looked radical. We looked like nonchalant jazz cats, not 6th graders planning their next Hunger Games-themed birthday party. No, we were rough-and-tumble types, not geeks who were actually really good at trigonometry.

I don't miss all that posturing. You have to do so much of it when you're young. You have to make sure you're wearing the right clothes have the right friends and listen to the right music. I don't do any of that anymore. I'm proud to be a nerd and I don't care who knows it. I wear my backpack with two straps.

So if you're like me and you're tired of pretending, then these memes are for you. These memes aren't necessarily cool, but they serve their purpose. They will make you laugh. And isn't that what we were all put on this earth to do? Laugh?
