I’ve seen my fair share of interesting class presentations through the past few years (my favorite was a Wiz Khalifa-themed pro-marijuana one), but nothing quite beats the student from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas who used a meme in his PowerPoint about the Dakota Access Pipeline. And not just any meme. A porn meme.

According to Buzzfeed, students in the class were assigned to write an essay about a social issue of the student’s choice. Once the papers were in, the students were required to make a presentation about it and were encouraged to add visuals like memes, tweets and videos.
I don’t think the professor was ready for this, though.
The student who captured the moment on camera, Bernadette Robyn Villalpando, uploaded the picture to Twitter, and the response was absolutely beautiful.

Still wondering what college these kids go to where they can be completely unprofessional in their presentations https://t.co/LgUBWQ4lPL

But whatever, I still think it’s funny. Why didn’t I ever think of doing this before?
I should have done my values sem paper on this

Oh yeah, because most of my professors probably wouldn’t have found it very funny.
Oh, college, how I miss you.
