15 memes about student loans for when you're in debt and need to laugh it off

Will we ever be free? Who knows! It is a mystery.

Congrats graduates! Your student loan debt might be forgiven if, and only if, you are left-handed, live in Iowa, apprentice under a wizard, and it's the third cycle of the fifth blood moon.

So in the mean time, we might just have to fork over the cash every month. It can be hard to be slapped with an adult-sized bill when you still feel like an exhausted child, except taller and with the ability to drink alcohol. Who gave us this responsibility of tens of thousands of dollars for the next few decades? After all, as so many people so eloquently put it, "I'm baby."

You start thinking to yourself — did I even need that higher education? I don't feel any smarter? Why am I laying down stacks when my TA just showed Bill Nye videos our entire lecture?

Sadly, we don't have the answers (we're all currently dealing with our own student loans, RIP.) But if you feel like good ol' Sallie Mae is burning a whole in your paycheck every month, and nobody seems to have a concrete plan to destroy the loans through a bit of light arson, these memes are for you.

At least we won't be stuck paying our loans back in the afterlife. Right? Right?
