The Same Old Same Old
What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?
This is a meme that I found on Google, but I have seen similar memes on Instagram and Twitter.
Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.
Personally, while this pandemic has impacted many people around the world, in my area we are not as affected by death nor illness, but rather the fear of the situation. There is much doubt and fear in our world at this moment in time, not only with COVID-19 but also in regard to the riots and protests. Despite this, I have merely stayed at home and both stressed over coursework and enjoyed more time to relax. I feel that this meme encapsulates the relief I experience over not having to physically go places, but also the sadness of not being able to see my friends and family. However, with social media and games especially, I am able to communicate with them and talk as I would do with them online like I would if we weren't on lockdown.
