Sunday memes are a widespread fixture across the internet, reflecting the collective mood of internet users as they wind down their weekends. These memes are often centered around the universal experience of “Sunday Scaries,” which are the anxiety and reluctance to face the upcoming workweek.

Sunday memes typically capture feelings of procrastination, existential dread, or the bittersweet reluctance of a weekend nearing its end and needing to go back to the real world on Monday morning. Whether it’s an expression of not being productive enough or a comedic exaggeration of how much time was spent on social media instead of preparing for the week ahead, these memes are designed to be funny and cathartic.

They tap into the shared experience of trying to break away from the demands of a busy schedule and the overwhelming anticipation of the responsibilities to come.

Check out 30 of the most relatable Sunday memes below:
