This meme pairs top text reading 'When you managed to finish college even though you didn't know what was going on most of the time' with a still from the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise showing Captain Jack Sparrow standing unsteadily on the mast of his heavily damaged, barely functional ship the Black Pearl. The joke draws a parallel between somehow successfully graduating college despite constant confusion and being in control of a vessel that is barely holding together despite appearing to function enough to keep sailing, making the content highly relatable to people who struggled through their college degrees.

This is a two-panel pun-based meme that uses the popular mirror reflection meme template. In the top panel, a man stands facing a mirror pointing at his reflection, with encouraging text about graduation that reads: "You Will graduate / You Will get that degree / You Will get the hell out of that school". In the bottom panel, the punchline is revealed: instead of the man's reflection, the figure is a guillotine dressed in a graduation cap with a diploma, that says "Thanks Human". The joke relies on the phonetic similarity between the words "graduate" and "guillotine", creating an absurd pun on the graduation encouragement.

This image is a screenshot of a public tweet from economist Douglas Webber. In the tweet, Webber shares one of his favorite experiences as a PhD committee member: after a PhD student finishes their dissertation defense and waits outside the room while the committee deliberates on the result, he loves opening the door to bring the student back in and simply greeting them with 'Doctor' to confirm they have passed and earned their doctorate. He notes he has gotten to share this moment 17 times and counting as of the date of the tweet. The moment is widely viewed as a heartwarming, wholesome celebration of the student's years of hard work.
