Meme Details

Here's a detailed description of the image: **Overall Structure:** The image is a four-panel meme (often referred to as a "brain expansion meme") depicting a brain's perceived development related to common advice surrounding college education. **Panel Breakdown:** * **Panel 1:** Text reads "Go to college to secure your future." Above it, a small brain with limited activity is depicted. * **Panel 2:** Text reads "Go to college to 'follow your passion'." Above it, the brain is slightly larger and has a bit more activity. * **Panel 3:** Text reads "Go to college to network." The brain appears even larger, with more activity. * **Panel 4:** Text reads "Realize you paid $40,000 to sit in a room watching a guy read from PowerPoint." Above it, the brain is significantly expanded and brilliantly illuminated, contrasting with a seated figure in a dark, starry expanse. **Visual Style:** * The brains are rendered in a stylized, almost anatomical way, with visible structures. * The background of each panel features a dark, space-like setting with stars and nebulous colors. * The progression of brain size and activity is visually exaggerated to emphasize the increasing level of realization or complexity. The meme conveys a satirical commentary on the perceived disconnect between the lofty ideals associated with college and the often mundane reality of the experience.
