BEWARE of PSAT Memes

Congratulations to all of the juniors who survived their last PSAT! Time to get ready for the SATs now… but let’s not talk about that.

Now, don’t lie. I know you all have been looking at those PSAT memes. Shame on you. Shame.

But looking at them isn’t what I’m here to warn you about - I, myself, am guilty of doing so - I’m here to tell you this:

Don’t share them! Not even bits and bobs of them.

Because let me tell you something: the College Board has Twitter.

Honestly, I’m having a bit of trouble writing this article. I think the room I’m in is too tidy.

Anyway, the point is: don’t retweet these memes! If you search #PSAT on Twitter, you’ll find that the College Board is pretty enraged about these posts. You might be thinking, “Oh, it doesn’t matter, they’ll never find out it’s me anyway.” Well, need I remind you that you signed a contract promising you will not distribute any content found on the PSAT? And yet, you proceed to directly share that content - on Twitter, which is linked to your email, which you provided to the College Board.

So, yeah, as amusing as they may be, I am just here to remind you that they may not be quite as funny a year from now when the College Board is throwing your college applications out the door like your shrimp of an ex husband.
