It’s hard to believe that three years have passed since COVID-19 was declared a pandemic.

While life has mostly returned to normal now, the challenges of those years will remain with many for a long time.

The clip has already received over 4 million views and a large amount of engagement from people who were amused and saddened by the glimpse into pandemic-era school years.

While @milaabandzz highlights select pages from the album, she also includes the text POV: you were class of ‘21, which emphasizes the surrealism of the pages.

For instance, in the school photos, many of the images are icons with the initial of the person’s first name, similar to how users appear on Zoom calls when their camera is turned off.

Similarly, on a page highlighting the Future Farmers of America club, there is a screenshot of a packed Zoom call rather than an in-person group photo.

Although the album sparks many different feelings tied to the pandemic, it’s certainly a helpful reminder of how unprecedented the era was for people and particularly young students.

@milaabandzz on TikTok captures how different high school yearbooks from the COVID-19 pandemic are in a now-viral video.
