Retaking Memes

The academic food chain in its natural habitat! First-year students staring in horror at their potential future—grown adults crammed into a kiddie pool labeled "People Retaking 1st Year Courses." That moment when you realize college isn't just about making friends and attending parties, but also about potentially spending eternity in Organic Chemistry purgatory. The terrified expressions of the freshmen perfectly capture that "Is this my destiny?" existential crisis that hits around midterm week. Remember kids, study now or join the splash zone later!

The academic food chain in its natural habitat! Four grown men lounging in a kiddie pool labeled "People Retaking 1st Year Courses" while actual children labeled "First-Years" stare in bewilderment. This is university natural selection at work - those who couldn't evolve past Intro to Chemistry are now the apex predators of the freshman ecosystem. The veterans have claimed the prime territory (the inflatable pool) while the newcomers must stand around wondering if this is what their tuition is paying for. Nothing says "I've mastered the academic system" quite like taking the same course for the third time and explaining to 18-year-olds why the professor "totally has it out for everyone."
