59 Funny School Memes That Are Way Too Relatable
Whether it's back-to-school season or graduation time, school memes can truly be the thing that makes us keep it together when all you can think about is, well, school.
School, no matter if it is high school or college, can be a rollercoaster of emotions, and quite honestly, knowing you are not the only one going through those ups and downs can be more than reassuring—it can also be funny!
The anxiety of the first day of school, the looming pressure when back-to-school season is around the corner, the stench from PE class, the promposal craze…. There are some feelings we all share and relate to, and there's a meme (or two) out there to illustrate them.
In the internet era, memes are without a doubt the great unifier. You can send them to your best friend, they serve as the ultimate response in group chats when you just don’t know what to say, and you may even try to explain them to your parents or older family members (and will probably fail). Even in tough moments, a good dose of school memes can completely turn your mood around.
Ahead, we've rounded up a few of our favorite school memes for when you just need a good laugh. Or cry. Or a little bit of both!
First day of school and back to school memes
The back-to-school meme is totally the king of all school memes. Why? Because it’s a time of year that brings about so many different emotions. Maybe you’ve spent weeks planning the perfect outfit for the first day, or maybe you’ve been busy brushing up on those SAT questions. Or perhaps your MO is to do anything to extend those lazy summer days of sleeping in, hanging out with friends, and lounging by the pool. Either way, these back-to-school memes are sure to make you laugh, no matter what grade you are in.

College memes so good they hurt
School transitions are tough, whether you’re making the move from middle school to high school or even from elementary school to middle school. New environments, new peers, new locker combinations to memorize—there’s a reason we all have those nightmares where we forgot about a specific class for an entire semester, only to find ourselves sitting down for the final exam we knew nothing about. But there’s something about entering college that hits a bit differently. Chances are, you’re on your own for the first time. You’re eating the exact same sandwich from the cafeteria every single day. And roommates… well, that’s a big change. If you need a moment to disassociate from it all, well, these are for you.
College really is different! :’)
