51 Funny Monday Memes That Perfectly Capture the Struggle

The root of why funny monday memes are so popular across the globe actually resides within science. The “Monday Blues” is also a real psychological experience; psychologists have discovered it is an actual emotional response to moving from weekend relaxation back into weekday structure. We aren’t just people being dramatic; it’s a true change of brain chemistry and mood habit.

The human brain is programmed to find patterns and routines, yet it also desires novelty and freedom. It’s on the weekends memes that we have the freedom to take breaks from our set timings and do things we actually like doing. We spend the whole weekend off, only to turn around come Monday morning and tell our brains to think exactly the opposite of what they were thinking all weekend. That transition is a lot to process, and monday memes are part of how we cope with the change.
