Unconventional procrastination. #IGTR

Finals: the time of year when everyone is trying so hard to stay focused, that they can't help but be distracted - where a five minute study break to check your Facebook turns into endless scrolling down the newsfeed.  In other words, the perfect breeding ground for memes.

This finals period, I noticed a lot of particularly funny memes spread through the Rice University interwebz.  Some were pretty generalized:

Evan A.


But soon, the majority of memes were based upon people's friends.

There were plenty more that I missed or did not collect here.  What were your favorite Rice memes from Finals '11?

I Go To Rice. #IGTR

Hello.  I go to Rice.  I consider Beer Bike to be the biggest holiday of the year, even better than Christmas.  It's possible that I go to more Powderpuff games than I do Rice football games (although I will paint myself blue with zero hesitation to support my Owls).  I refer to the library as Club Fondy, and may even consider myself a member of Fondren College during finals period.  I am shamelessly enthusiastic about my academic interests.  Adults live in the same building I do, and I actually feel like it has enhanced my college experience.  I like to visit this magical place called the leisure pool.  I feel sorry for other universities with lesser "welcome weeks."  When asked where I am from, I respond with the name of my college.  A cheer is hardly complete without at least a little profanity.  My college is the best college.  I call cafeterias, serveries, and the university actually has to force me to leave campus once a week by shutting them down (otherwise I might never leave the hedges).  I am hardly phased anymore when naked people run around campus twice a month.  West Lot is an ungodly long distance from wherever I live, and I'd rather wait the seven minutes for the shuttle.  Heat and humidity is a given, but I still like to complain about it.  When it drops below freezing for more than a few nights in a row, I get a snow day.  My university's marching band defies all descriptions.  My goal in life during Owl Days is to make prospies love Rice as much as I do.  I am an Owl. #IGTR
