Social distancing while trying to keep up with school work? Our feeds have never been so full of hilarious study-from-home content.
In the last few months, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has turned the world as we know it upside down. And yep, that includes the way we work and learn.
With the entire country encouraged to stay home, universities have swapped their physical campuses for digital-led classrooms, upping their eLearning offerings and engaging with students online.
Here are our favourite tweets, TikToks and Instagram reactions to bunkering down in a world of epic email chains, online lectures and not ever having to get out of your pyjamas.
