Intelligence is fluid, and baby, my brain is dehydrated right now. I find it extremely funny when adults go around touting their high IQ scores from tests they took as prepubescent boy geniuses. I honestly believe there is no such thing as static, unchanging intellect. Being smart is something you work at every day for your entire life, and as my Lyft driver from last Thursday said, «if you don’t use it, you lose it.» Constantly needing to think through problems was one of my favorite things about being in school. Even if I wasn’t the most remarkable student, I loved attending class and discussing the course’s subject matter in-depth. As a student, you have a lot of stake in understanding challenging material and being able to bounce in-between different subjects throughout the day. And at the risk of sounding like a total nerd, I think that’s rad as hell! 

It’s okay if you’re not feeling your smartest right now because you always have the power to change that! If you’re not ready to better yourself intellectually just yet, these stupid memes might give your smooth brain a dopamine hit.
