You know, folks, the pandemic has been a real eye-opener. Suddenly, everyone became a master chef, right? I mean, who knew that making banana bread and Dalgona coffee could become survival skills? I've seen people googling recipes like their life depended on it.
And speaking of survival, remember the toilet paper apocalypse? I still can't wrap my head around it. It's like everyone thought, "Hey, if the world's ending, I want to go out with a clean behind!" Supermarkets turned into battlegrounds, and toilet paper became the currency of the future.
But you know what's wild? Zoom calls! They went from a corporate thing to a family reunion, a gym session, and even a wedding! I've seen more of my relatives on Zoom than I have in person my entire life. And let's not forget the awkwardness of forgetting to mute yourself or not knowing where to look when someone's frozen mid-sentence. It's a whole new level of social interaction... or lack thereof.
Let's talk about quarantine hobbies, shall we? Suddenly, everyone was Marie Kondo-ing their homes, decluttering like their sanity depended on it. I mean, if you didn't come out of quarantine with a newfound talent or a closet organized by color, did you even quarantine?
And the fashion evolution during quarantine was something else. Pajamas became the new business casual, sweatpants were formal wear, and the only time we wore real pants was for a Zoom call waist-up. And don't even get me started on "maskne." I thought my teenage acne days were over, but nope, mask acne decided to make a comeback.
And can we talk about the sourdough starters? I swear, those things had a higher success rate than most of my relationships. Everyone became a sourdough connoisseur overnight. If you didn't have a starter, were you even a part of the quarantine crew?
The vaccine rollout was like the Hunger Games, wasn't it? Everyone was strategizing and competing to get that elusive appointment. People were refreshing websites like it was the hottest Black Friday sale, trying to snag a slot. And then the bragging rights once you got the jab! It was like a VIP pass to immunity, the golden ticket out of this mess.
But hey, the vaccine has also turned everyone into armchair scientists. Suddenly, Karen from down the street is an expert on mRNA technology, while Steve from accounting is convinced it's a government plot to control our minds. It's like a real-life episode of "CSI: Vaccine Edition."
And the side effects? Oh boy. I've seen people cancel plans for days just because they heard their friend's cousin's neighbor had a headache after the shot. Suddenly, we're all hypochondriacs Googling symptoms like we're on WebMD speed dial.
Lockdown had us doing some crazy things. I mean, have you seen the lengths people went to for a haircut? DIY became the norm, and suddenly, we were all barbers, hairstylists, and, let's be honest, some of us were butchers. I've seen more bowl cuts and uneven bangs than I care to admit.
But hey, let's not forget the thrill of grocery shopping during lockdown. It was like going on a mission impossible. We made lists like they were treasure maps, and if the store had toilet paper or hand sanitizer, it was a jackpot. It was survival of the fittest in the produce aisle.
And let's take a moment to appreciate the creativity in social distancing. Six feet apart became the new pickup line, and elbow bumps were the cool handshake. We went from being "close talkers" to "distance whisperers" in a heartbeat. Who knew personal space could be so trendy?
