Motivational Monday Memes

Mondays are hard. They’ve always been hard, and they will always be hard. But do you know what makes hard things easier? Memes.

In case, you know, this is your first time on the Internet: A meme is an image, video, or phrase that is spread rapidly by Internet users. They’re quick to digest, not very sophisticated, and extremely funny—essentially, they’re everything you’d expect from a millennial phenomenon.

You know what else is great about memes? They’re great at lifting moods. Nothing raises the spirits of the masses like an adorable doge or funny baby with a witty caption. Here’s a round up of memes making us smile today—we hope they make you smile too.
