Eight Great British Bake Off memes every Lincoln student can relate to
Life imitates art or, in this case, life imitates the sliding heap of what was once a cake
In case you’ve been too busy downing shots and living it large to notice, we’re now halfway through bake-off season. The true mark of autumn, The Great British Bake Off is one of those shows that has everything you could ever ask for in TV: drama, delectable goodies, and a host of wonderfully endearing contestants.
While you may wonder what students could possibly have in common with a show you’ve only heard your gran rave about, there are a surprising number of similarities. Life imitates art or, in this case, life imitates the sliding heap of what was once a cake. Here are some memes, hand selected for your enjoyment, that we feel really capture what it means to be a Lincoln student.
When you no longer care what your timetable looks like, you just want it
