We need a meme

[eriatarka]

I was talking to a friend tonight who's also applying to grad school, and we are both so wracked with anxiety and over-analyzing everything. I joked that we were acting like Bridezillas.... we're GRADZILLAS!

 

With all the irrational things we do and say during application season, such as refreshing emails a million times per day, etc., I thought I'd pose the question to you all:

 

You're a creative bunch.... If you could caption a meme based on GradCafe or your own personal freak-outs, what would you write?

I can only apply existing memes...(sorry).

 

"What's the number of times you've checked your email today?"

I feel like if Paranoid Parrot and Socially Awkward Penguin had a weird lovechild, then Insanity Wolf and Clueless College Freshman had an even weirder lovechild, the byproduct of those lovechildren producing a meme-baby would be the most accurate depiction of GradCafe forum users.

I think the level of detail obsession that went into describing this meme is itself a meme for applicants at the GradCafe! Meta-meme?

I laughed so hard. Thanks pears. Do you have a visual for this 3rd generation meme creature as well?

Love. Like for real, this is what I am so tempted to do.... But I have found will power I didn't know existed. I'm trying to just satisfy myself with compulsively checking my email :(

I wish someone drew this creation...... It's awesome

I may end up doodling it by hand, once my abstract due dates and presentation schedules calm down a bit.
