‘UNH Memes’ Page Looks Uses Art-Comedy to Unite Students

original content, mainly

A

University-related humor, often self-deprecating. The Facebook page

titled “UNH Memes” has gained considerable traction online, mainly by posting memes about the University that have been shared with other students.

The page was started by a University student who requested he remain anonymous, but said he genuinely loves memes. At first, he was still getting used to what was popular and liked by his audience, but says he now is more comfortable and creative with the content the page produces.

“Memes are an art form in a sense,” he said.

He started the page with a few friends earlier this year with the goal of bringing the University community together through memes.

“I wanted to bring the students together,” he said.

“That one unifying thing was memes.”

admins try to keep it PG-13, recognizing that some things could cross a line. They also stay away from cultural and political issues, saying that they want to stay away from divisive content as much as possible.

The creator of the page says that the content is a way to “air grievances” about the school, citing memes that focused on Bartels, high tuition costs, and the rebranding of “UNH.” It’s more than just posting memes, though, as the creator also emphasized the importance of timing of posts, relatability to the audience, and popularity of meme structures.

Kirk Giglio is a contributor to the page and tries to find the perfect balance between “relatable, wholesome, and edginess, where they try to

Resisting the Pumpkin Spice Stigma

BY QUIANA CRIALES STAFF WRITER

T

he first week of Sep-

tember officially marks the beginning of pumpkin spice season, and individuals are already being condemned for their love of pumpkin spice.

While some people look forward to this season, whether it be for their favorite fall beverage or the cozy sweater weather, we usually receive, others do specifically, because of the pumpkin spice craze.

When the fall season rolls around, I am that person who devours anything pumpkin flavor related: pumpkin pie, coffee, pop tarts, you name it.

As individuals, our taste buds prefer different foods and flavors, it’s a fact of life, so it is okay for people to have opposing views on the pumpkin spice flavor. While, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, why should anyone judge me for liking a specific flavor?

Better yet, why is person’s a love for said flavor, automatically labeled as “a basic white

She says it is all natural, but if anyone was to pull pictures together across the years the evidence is self-sufficient.

Jenner explains in episode one that she has to “live up to her name.” She goes on to explain that she needs to post nude and sexual pictures to keep her brand going.

“I hate it,” she says.

Lie number two - Jenner is known for her scandalous and spontaneous posts on Snapchat. No one is forcing her to post sexual posts everyday, take pictures of herself in swim suits, take videos dancing to music, or make sexy lip biting videos. She is the world’s most followed Snapchat celebrity because of what she choses to snap.

ShopRite Leaves Behind a Food Desert

munity and University of New Haven students used to flock to the great central watering hole, also known as ShopRite. The source had dried up and relocated elsewhere, as of this past summer. When students made their journey home after the school year commenced, they had no notion that this “luxury” would vanish. Thirsty Chargers are feeling the aftermath.

The plentiful grocery store that once graced our neighborhood plaza, was moved to Orange, close to the West Haven town line. This doesn’t make things any better, in fact, it adds insult to injury.

hether it was based off of the celebrity you swore

you’d end up marrying, or the sport you were passionate about in the sixth grade, your username relied heavily on such aspects of your life. This week, the Charger Poll decided to ask what your most embarrassing username was, and the results are sure to make you chuckle. The Charger Bulletin’s very own Glenn shared his everlasting love for Selena Gomez by using her hit song “Who Says” as his username. Very clever, Glenn. One student even mentioned how her screenname “HATE_THIS_CRAP” was used for her PSATs account without her realizing it. Awkward! And of course, you can’t forget about the names we ever-so-subtly created, secretly hoping our tween crush would realize it was about them. Take alumna and former Assistant Editor Sami Higgins for example. She made it through her middle school with the username “lovinhim4eva1.” Incredible. If you have a username more embarrassing than these, mention @ChargerPoll on Twitter and tell us your story! Don’t forget to follow @ChargerPoll to keep up with weekly polls that will be featured in the Charger Bulletin.

response, this week’s playlist consists of hip-hop bangers that are perfect for your next workout.

Six Foot Seven Foot (feat. Corey Gunz) - Lil Wayne Weezy and his apprentice go all in on this track, devouring the competition. From the simple instance of Wayne clearing his throat at the beginning of the song, right down to the echoes at the end of the final verse from Gunz, we are intrigued. This hyped-up, bass-boosted beat courses through you as you attack the next exercise!

Remember the Name (feat. Styles of Beyond) - Fort Minor

The Charger Bulletin

Linkin Park’s Mike Shinoda works with underground rap duo Styles of Beyond on this track from The Rising Tied, and set a standard for “workout music.” They delivered a work ethic anthem that’s pure fire and sure to push you through to the next round! Remember: “it’s 10% luck, 20% skill, 15% concentrated power of will, 5% pleasure, and 50% pain!”

Beast – Southpaw Remix (feat. Busta Rhymes, KXNG Crooked, Tech N9ne) - Rob Bailey and the Hustle Standard This remake of the original song by the same artist was used for the 2015 movie Southpaw. It presents three awesome verses from three awesome rappers, all over a massively vigorous, rock-like beat that makes you truly feel like a motherf*cking BEAST!

@ChargerBulletin

Purple Lamborghini (feat. Rick Ross) - Skrillex While most people did not like Suicide Squad, the soundtrack had some extraordinary songs, such as the first track. Here, Skrillex’s legendary command of this electronic production, combined with Rozay’s rage-injected bars, creates a dynamic explosion of power that is guaranteed to rock your head – especially when the bass drops!

Mama Said Knock You Out (feat. Tech N9ne) - Five Finger Death Punch This track off of The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Vol. 1, gives the LL Cool J classic a wild, destructive metal remake that will pump your body full of hard-grade energy, making you want to scream an epic war cry as you conquer that session! Are you “gonna knock it out?”

@ChargerBulletin

DNA. – Kendrick Lamar Admit it - sometimes “HUMBLE.” becomes tiresome after being heard constantly. This track, on the other hand, is a glorious banger throughout – even during the beat change near the end. Overall, the track is more fuel for your workout energy fire that will keep on burning!

Black Skinhead – Kanye West This track off of Yeezus is an energy overload where Kanye keeps giving his arrogance raps as per usual, but this time he’s earned the bragging rights. This track of empowerment creates a vibe of incredible intensity as Ye establishes his dominance in the rap game. Toss in a contagious and booming chorus to go with it, and it is perfect for any workout you come across!

Survival – Eminem Last, but definitely not least, Slim Shady delivers raw, aggressive, pure power in what can only be described as unbridled, creative fury as he . If you like “Lose Yourself,” you’ll love this one even more. This track is sure to, as Mr. Mathers puts it, “make this whole stadium ERUPT!”

Toronto R&B singer, Daniel Caesar looks to gospel for a roadmap to the complexities of love. Caesar combines R&B and soul to display his perspective of the holy experience of love and how it is sullied by human imperfection.

Caesar has been a thriving talent in the Toronto scene with his two EP’s Praise Break (2014) and Pilgrim’s Paradise (2015), showcasing the talent this 22-year-old singer/songwriter is capable of.

Caesar’s earlier works are now fully realized on his debut album Freudian, which offers narratives of love (and lack thereof) that will touch your soul. Caesar’s own journey led him to questioning God and experiencing both
