It’s been a minute since borders reopened and life rekindled, but living through the pandemic has changed us. 2022 holds promise and all most of us are hoping for is that it doesn’t turn into “2020 too”. Yet, it can be hard to shake our pandemic habits and readjust to a more normal life. In fact, it is common for some to have concerns or feel anxious about socialising and being out in public. You might feel intimidated, afraid, or insecure — these emotions are valid. COVID-19 is still at large, and regaining some form of normalcy should never come at the expense of health and safety. Fret not, here are some helpful tips to readjust to life after the pandemic.
In a world of ever increasing digitisation, it is safe to say that a new era of cultural transmission has dawned upon us, with this era mostly being known for the continual expansion of memes as an Internet commodity. The 21st century’s version of the ‘Cultural Revolution’ has taken the Internet by storm, and people across the globe of all ages have found themselves subconsciously (or consciously?) infected by this cultural insurgency.
