Let’s be real, the three things you need to survive are food, water and the Internet. And by Internet, I mean the obsession we have with tagging our friends in memes. But, who doesn’t love memes? They’re incredibly random and somehow capture our true personalities in the most relatable way. Without them, our social media feeds would be looking a lot like our parents’ Facebook profiles.
So without further ado, if you recognize these seven memes you are definitely an internet addict tucked away in your bed reading this.
1. “It”
Clowns are creepy. Period. There is nothing you can say to make them less creepy. But ever since Andres Muschietti’s adaptation of It released this fall, the clown trend has grown way out of proportion. Thankfully to battle the fear of clowns, the Internet does what the internet does best: make memes.
2. Homeboy’s Gonna Get It
Bella Hadid went sneaker shopping with Complex in Manhattan this year and when asked her feelings about a questionable pair of shoes…well, let’s just say the Internet has a new catchphrase of the year.

3. Donald Trump Doing His Best to Help
No matter where you stand on this, anybody can get a laugh at Donald Trump multitasking practicing basketball while also helping hurricane survivor victims. May I reiterate…basketball and hurricane survivor victims…two completely opposite things…

4. First of all…
ATTENTION : CALLING ALL SASSY PERSONALITIES!! We know all too well that when people assume something about us, we absolutely have to drop it down on em’. If this is you, your time on Twitter has come…

5. Mocking Spongebob
If you’ve made it this far, you’re probably getting the gist that memes are all about sarcasm. Well, just your luck, here’s the most sarcastic meme you can find out there: Spongebob mocking like a chicken.

6. Distracted Boyfriend
Looking for a plain photo to put in your PowerPoint? Where do you go you ask? Stock photos. They’re simple and easy to find, and oftentimes so random we think, “who would ever take a picture like this”. It’s about time they became a meme. If you recognize this, you definitely relate to the boyfriend and his competing desires.

7. Roll Safe
Last, but not least, roll safe. This meme has been around for what feels like forever yet it’s by far the most used AND the most popular meme out there. It is literally just a guy grinning while pointing to his head and somehow Twitter turned it into a meme expressing sarcastic advice.
