Memes

This meme humorously describes common roles that students often fall into when working on group projects in school. It shows a group of men walking side by side, each labeled with a different role:

1. The first person is labeled "Does 99% of the work," suggesting that this student ends up doing almost all the work for the group project.
2. The second person is labeled "Says he's going to help but he's not," indicating that this student promises to contribute but doesn't actually follow through.
3. The third person is labeled "Has no idea what's going on the whole time," implying that this student is clueless and doesn't understand the project or their role in it.
4. The last person is labeled "Disappear at the very beginning and doesn't show up again til the very end," suggesting that this student avoids participating during the project and only reappears when it's time to present the work or take credit.

The text at the top, "Every group project in school you have ever done," implies that these roles are a universal experience for students working in groups, with each student type being a stereotype of common behavior. The overall joke is that group projects are rarely divided evenly and often involve a mix of contribution levels and engagement from the different group members.
