Teens are flocking to Instagram and Tumblr to vent about school group projects and the results are hilarious

As high school and college students finish up the school year, social media is full of worries, complaints and jokes revolving around the stress surrounding final exams and projects.
And as you may have noticed, the most popular thing to complain about online by far is the group project.
Memes that convey the stress and frustration of working on a project with ambivalent classmates are all over Tumblr, Twitter and Instagram. Some of them use popular movies like "The Hangover" to get the point across.http://dodomir23.tumblr.com/post/48051375827 The memes are passed around by students and don't seem to originate at a single source. Popular ones, such as the above "Hangover" shot, pop up on plenty of accounts after a search for "group project."As anyone who's ever gone to school will remember, group projects usually devolve into a one-man show...
Things start to look bleak and the only place to vent safely is apparently online.

Posting screenshots of group members' awful behavior is also popular.
Jessica Lange makes an appearance in this meme.
The posts go through the entire cycle of group project emotions, including the confusion felt when group members are apparently banding against each other.
Bad excuses and attitude problems are also cataloged.http://likeextremelygay.tumblr.com/post/68563333873/every-time-i-work-on-a-group-project-and-magically
Some advocate stealing the show during the final presentation in order to show who did all the work.Posts from people who happily cede responsibility to their "smarter" classmates are more rare, but they exist.
Finally, the happy gifs are rolled out after the project is done.
