9 Motivational Memes (And a Gif) To Get You Through This Week

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SMU chapter.

As we college students know, “April is the cruelest month.” This is the season where the last vestiges of syllabus week are washed away, and the professors begin to dive in with projects, papers, and exams everywhere you turn. A month ago you may have been able to scroll through Instagram during a lecture or only halfheartedly skim the reading the night before it’s due. Not so in April. To keep you off the internet for too long and maybe to get you started on your homework, we’ve compiled a list of 10 memes to motivate you this week.
