Back to school blues? These memes will get you through it

Going back to school can be tough any year. It’s hard to start waking up with an alarm again. The loss of a sense of freedom can be emotionally draining. Usually there are a few good things like seeing your friends more often or taking an interesting elective, but it’s still not a time of year most kids are excited about.

However, this year, the year 2020, is a chaotic dumpster fire of a year. Going back to school isn’t just not-fun sounding, but it’s also potentially a health hazard. So, because this is the internet and there’s only one true coping method here, we have memes for you. We hope they help make you laugh.

Mixed messages

Some schools have been waffling back and forth on whether or not they’ll do digital learning or in-person schooling. It’s a confusing time.

Radio silence

Other districts have just been completely silent as they wait until the last possible moment to make a decision.

PJ day is every day

Do you think this year’s yearbooks will just be everyone’s favorite selfie?

Fashion statement

We’re not even convinced anyone would make fun of a kid dressed like this. Odds are they’d just be jealous all they have is hand sanitizer and crossed fingers.

Yikes

Depending on how you interpret this, this could be incredibly dark . . . or just an honest realization that a lot of parents probably won’t let their kids go to a physical school right now.

Height of it all

Ouch, this one hurt a little and we don’t even go to school anymore.

You’ve changed

It’s been a rough year on even the most innocent of souls.

Since the plague

Problem is . . . the plague isn’t even over yet.

Cheating

There’s classrooms that banned water bottles during tests because of cheating, but you can’t ban a health protocol! . . . Right?

Constant fear

Spare a thought for the poor teachers who are going to do everything they can to keep everyone safe even though it very well might be a futile exercise.
