Just because you can’t physically sign a yearbook does not mean you can’t commemorate your high school or college memories with your friends and teachers, right? There’s already a trend among students these days: creating online yearbook accounts on Instagram to celebrate their accomplishments, share memories and jokes and leave some encouraging words. Online yearbooks for the class of 2020Īlthough high school seniors won’t be able to dress for their prom and walk across the stage at their graduation ceremony, there’s one tradition that keeps continuing: yearbook signing, though not with a pen. Students will also enjoy some musical performances during the multi-hour marathon live stream. Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Jennifer Lopez, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and many other inspirational leaders, celebrities and influencers will deliver inspirational speeches to the 2020 seniors. To give the Class of 2020 a dose of positivity to carry with them as they take their next big steps in life, YouTube will host a virtual graduation event. Speaking of this, there’s something extraordinary that’s going to happen next month. We learn to be more empathetic and compassionate to each other. There are also beautiful things that this pandemic brings. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do, but adapt and make the most of this strange situation. Nobody would ever have thought that this is what the Class of 2020 will look like. Students will sit in their cars, watch their farewell parties on a huge screen made for movies and think of which high school memories to post in their online yearbooks. Instead of filling the auditoriums, gymnasiums, and football fields with graduates and their loved ones schools have decided to shift to virtual ceremonies or socially distant celebrations at drive-in movie theaters and school parking lots. Thousands of students all over the world should have prepared to take pictures for their high school yearbooks, enjoy their last days as students and get ready for their graduation and prom ceremonies. This period should have been really unique, full of emotions, and special for the class of 2020. This virus has got everything out of sorts, especially the world of education. Traveling is canceled, malls and schools are shutting down, and everybody is isolated at home since the beginning of this year. The COVID-19 pandemic affects us all, one way or another.
