A Facebook meme page created by students for students might just make your day.
“Carol Folt's $4.25B Memorial Meme Stash” is a Facebook group with over 13,500 members. It is a closed group, which means that people have to send a request to be added. Once approved by one of the page’s administrators, the fun begins.
This group has five rules: “don’t be a jerk, keep content UNC related, no promotions, try to offer original content and do not use the FB report tool.” Simple enough.
The page serves as a place for students to come together and laugh at mutual frustrations and relatable issues.
“I like the ones where it’s something that’s so easy and something that’s so relatable, but you just don’t think about other people thinking about it too,” said Johnny Petela, a group member.
Petela posted a meme last night about a train that runs through Carrboro, and how it disrupts his sleep.
The idea began when he was laying in his bed and texted his friends to see if they heard the train, too. When they responded that they did, he did the only natural thing — he made it into a meme.
The result was an image from the show "iCarly," in which some characters were labeled to represent how Petela feels about the train. However, this was not Petela’s first claim to fame. He had memed on the page before with much success.
Allison O’Connor, a member since her first year, posted a meme on Monday night that received more than 1,000 likes in just 20 hours. Her creation contains screenshots of emails she received that told her that, unfortunately, she had not been selected for the basketball lottery — five times in a row.
