This is a text-based meme screenshot of a casual comment thread about student life after the widespread adoption of ChatGPT. The meme opens with a question asking how people managed to complete 4 years of university without ChatGPT, followed by a joking reply. The reply compares this question to the classic older generation trope of telling stories about walking 10km to school, where older people boast about how much harder life was when they were young. The joke highlights how quickly ChatGPT has become a normalized, essential tool for students, making the pre-ChatGPT university experience already seem like a distant, difficult 'good old days' story that current students will tell to future generations. A laughing emoji emphasizes the humorous tone.

This is a two-panel side-by-side comparison meme that makes a relatable joke about the difference in motivation between reading assigned school work versus reading for fun.

The right panel, captioned 'read 800 pages novel for fun', shows Camus smiling, relaxed and happy. The joke plays on the common experience that students will happily read hundreds of pages of a book they choose for enjoyment, but struggle to get through just a small number of pages when the reading is assigned for school.
