‘Class Of 2021’ Uses Unpredictable Year As Inspiration For Meme Fest

From cancelled exams to virtual graduation ceremonies, the Internet is filled with memes from the class of 2021

While there is no doubt that the pandemic and the subsequent lockdown has affected people across the world in several ways, there is one section of the population that found themselves staring at a slightly more unpredictable future than others.
