Take a Minute is a daily post that will catch you up on Internet happenings on campus and around the world.

Hope you all have taken a minute (get it?) out of your day to think about those who have sacrificed for America this Memorial Day. Naturally, Twitter’s been filled with well-wishes, tributes and words of pride and support.

Happy labor day….Enjoy it

Okay, so not everyone totally grasps the gravity of the day. Others do though.

I love the troops. Because if they weren’t the troops, I would be the troops. And I would be the worst troops. Happy Memorial Day.

There’s nothing that we could do to thank our servicemen & veterans that would equal their contributions. Happy Memorial Day.

And now for something completely different.
Video of the Day
From my friend and fellow Lakers fan Andrew comes this gem. There’s a little something for everyone here: Kobe fans should love it because it will make them nostalgic for Afro Kobe. Kobe haters should love it because, well, it touches on all of Kobe’s competitive shortcomings. And hipsters should love it because it’s Gotye.

Think you found something worthy of the next Take a Minute? Hit me up on Twitter!
