The Best Laughable Memes

What is a meme, you ask? A meme is like an inside joke -  something that is only laughable if the person reading it really understands it's context. But technically, a meme is an idea or a symbol of culture and society  that can be replicated. It eventually evolves, goes viral then spreads worse than herpes at an underage binge drinking party. When I'm looking for a good meme, I'm looking for something that makes me LOL. A good meme should be sarcastic, dramatic and hilarious. If it's not, then don't waste your time.

For example: Ryan Gosling. He is a huge sex symbol in American culture and he is known to play the part of a sweet, tender hearted lover in the majority of his movies. There are multiple Ryan Gosling meme's circulating the internet, most of which apply to his character that every woman adores and melts over. Here is one of my favorites:

Get it? It's supposed to be funny and exaggerated. If Ryan whispered this into my ear, I would probably melt in his arms. And by probably I mean definitely.

Why yes, yes you can...


Here is another: Hillary Clinton. From the tumblr page of textsfromhillaryclinton, the memes are all about Hilary Clinton and how much of a badass she is at running the world, all while texting at the same time.


Get it?! She's rejecting Mark Zuckerberg's friend request on Facebook because she is too much of a badass - LOL!!

Straight up. 


Hopefully you are now starting to understand what a meme is and how they can surely brighten your day. Here are a few more favorites.

Obviously some memes can get out of hand and can be quite annoying. Don't bother creating your own unless you know, for a fact, that they will be hilarious. Also, be careful what you post on the internet. Memes are perfect ways to emit sarcasm and embarrass people and if you are not careful, you could be the next victim of an endless meme yourself....

DIY Monogram Letter

I've been eyeing the monogram letters at the craft stores over the last couple months and debating on what I would do with one if I bought one. I finally figured out a project I could use it for (which will come later) but then I thought... I do not want to drive all the way to the store to get one of those letters right now... and as I stared at an empty cardboard box on the floor, I thought shoooooot! I will just make my own! I already had all the materials I needed and this project literally cost me 50¢ which is how much the book of sheet music cost. It's not extremely time consuming but you may have to play with the layers to get it just right. Have fun!

DIY Earring Holder

My earrings are usually a tangled mass of metal sitting on my dresser. I been using an earring holder made with an old window screen but I found it pretty annoying to try and fit the earring hooks through the tiny mesh holes - they would get stuck and when I tried to pull them out, about 20 other pairs would come out with them. I saw a lovely idea for an earring holder on Pinterest so I decided to create my own!

This entire DIY earring holder cost me $3.00! I found the picture frame at a garage sale for $1.00 and I found an entire spool of wire at Scrap for $2.00. The nails were free. Basically I hammered nails into the edges of the frame and wrapped the wire - tightly - around the nails. The wire was pretty slippery and somewhat difficult to keep a grasp on so I must admit, I started over quite a few times to get it right. However, it's finished and now I have a cute, decorative and easy to use earring holder!
