He got more than her: Studying all semester vs cramming the night before

This is a two-panel side-by-side relatable student meme that compares two common exam preparation approaches, using real photos from the 2024 Paris Olympic shooting competition. The left panel is labeled "Girl who studied the whole semester for the test", featuring a focused female competitive shooter aiming her pistol, with a lower competition score visible on the on-screen scoreboard. The right panel is labeled "My bro who studied just the night before the test", featuring the viral photo of Turkish shooter Yusuf Dikeç, who casually holds his pistol one-handed (with his other hand in his pocket) looking very relaxed. The joke plays on the common relatable student experience where a person who crams the night before an exam ends up getting a better result than someone who studied consistently all semester, which matches the visual of the relaxed casual shooter outperforming the more prepared focused one.

This is a relatable student meme.

Below this text are four stock images showing common procrastination activities: a man lying in bed scrolling on his smartphone in a dark room, a man lazing across a couch doing nothing, a person playing video games with a controller in front of a TV, and a man napping on a couch while cuddling a pet cat.

This is a single-panel relatable meme that uses a famous scene from *SpongeBob SquarePants*, where Squidward Tentacles watches SpongeBob and Patrick through his window blinds, to illustrate a common feeling among honest students: seeing other people get away with cheating on exams easily, while being convinced that if they ever tried to cheat themselves, they would immediately get caught and be publicly made an example of (framed as a joke that God would do this specifically to them).
