'Horrible Situation Somehow Gets Worse': 22 Memes to Carry You to the Weekend

Thank heavens it's Friday. Now let's put on our dancing shoes.

As Rebecca Black once said, it's Friday. It's lowkey my favorite part of my week, because it holds all the anticipation. You never know quite what is going to unfold, but you hope it's something amazing. Maybe you have fun weekend plans, or maybe you're truly ready to stretch out and do nothing. Saturday can be overwhelming and can often induce FOMO. If you feel like you're not spending it perfectly, then you feel like you're doing something wrong. It's the peak of the weekend, so if it's terrible, the weekend feels like a bust. But Friday holds perfect promise. If it's a bust, then there's always tomorrow. The pressure is off, so you can truly enjoy it for what it is.

If you're feeling that Friday feeling but don't know how to celebrate it, then memes can be the perfect way to start. Memes make us feel a little bit festive even when there's nothing else going on. Memes pluck us out of the mundane and send us into another dimension: a dimension of laughter. We don't need to do anything other than enjoy them. We can kick off our shoes and stick our toes in the metaphorical sand. We can cast off the dullness of the week and let something new wash over us, something transformative. We can thank our lucky stars that we are alive at the same time as the internet. And we can scroll through these memes like it's our dang job.
