Teaching assistants Memes

The eternal comedy of academia – a lab TA wearing a military cap desperately trying to look authoritative while internally screaming "I have no idea what I'm doing," meanwhile the undergrad volunteers stare with wide-eyed reverence like they're in the presence of scientific royalty. The blind leading the slightly more blind! This is the secret hierarchy of every university lab where impostor syndrome meets unwarranted confidence. Graduate students everywhere are quietly nodding in painful recognition.

The blind leading the blind—but with lab coats! That penguin with the captain's hat is every grad student who's been thrown into teaching a lab section after exactly 3.5 minutes of training. Meanwhile, the eager undergrads follow behind like they're being led by Einstein himself. The beautiful irony of academia: everyone's faking it till they make it, but somehow science still happens. The real experiment is seeing how long the TA can maintain their façade of competence before someone asks a question that wasn't in the manual!
