LIFE

via GIPHY

The early stages of the pandemic forced us all to reflect on the past. Whether you came across a childhood toy while cleaning your room or found the perfect throwback, chances are you've been looking back. My IG feed has been filled with relatable memes about growing up in the early 2000s, and I'm here for it. In the true spirit of Gen Z, I've gathered some of the best memes and tweets to share. Spoiler alert: we all had the same childhood.

We all had the exact same science classroom

This is where I met some of the funniest people in my life 😂 hope they’re doing good pic.twitter.com/SxaEMwWwoM
