If you don’t follow The Lancaster Tab on Instagram, what are you actually doing with your life?
Aside from the important article updates we share, we also love to gift you a meme or two every so often, just to bring the humour to what can be a very stressful few years of your life.
Our Socials Editor posted a whopping 89 memes in Michaelmas Term, 12 of which complained a little about the uni buses. Very creative, as usual. The Lancaster Tab’s memes have ranged from Stranger Things to Traitors, to Sabrina Carpenter, so we thought it would be a great idea to dive into 13 memes that you’ll only understand if you’re a Lancaster Uni student.
