And as you may have noticed, the most popular thing to complain about online by far is the group project.

 Memes that convey the stress and frustration of working on a project with ambivalent classmates are all over Tumblr, Twitter and Instagram. Some of them use popular movies like "The Hangover" to get the point across.http://dodomir23.tumblr.com/post/48051375827 The memes are passed around by students and don't seem to originate at a single source.

Things start to look bleak and the only place to vent safely is apparently online.

Posting screenshots of group members' awful behavior is also popular.

Some advocate stealing the show during the final presentation in order to show who did all the work.Posts from people who happily cede responsibility to their "smarter" classmates are more rare, but they exist.

 

Finally, the happy gifs are rolled out after the project is done.
