Just like a person would feel lonely when they are not around people but their day will suddenly go bright if they spend time with the people they love. Now it’s the same way the assignment is feeling unless the student attends to it.
What makes this funny is the idea that the assignment has feelings and can be lonely when the students do not attend to it. It helps to reduce the tension that comes with finishing schoolwork by creating a playful environment.
- Hey there, procrastinator! Your assignment is feeling lonely—brighten its day with your brilliance by giving it some attention before the deadline!

Come in with your assignment, not memes, and let’s keep things professional. This phrase shows the importance of maintaining a professional tone in academic settings by highlighting the priority of submitting assignments over sharing memes.
If a student should submit memes instead of their assignment then it shows how much the student is unserious with their academic work.
As a cool teacher who is also a bit of a meme enthusiast and you drop this line to your students, ‘‘Hey, let’s be serious and turn in your assignments, not memes.’ then it means you are reminding the students that there is a time for grades and also for laughs. Still, this particular situation calls for the assignment.
- Remember, in this class, it’s all about academic excellence – let’s keep it professional, so come in with your assignment, not memes.
