I dropped out of college and now make up to $5,000 a month as a 'meme lord'

newsletterI was studying English at Rutgers University in New Jersey, but I felt like I was wasting a lot of time in class. I knew I wanted to write for an online audience, but we weren't taught how to write blogs or newsletters or Twitter threads.

I've had a bunch of memes go viral and that led to people messaging me and asking me to do it for them too.
