Goodbye 2020, the year that felt like a bad horror movie we all accidentally clicked on. Remember when we thought the biggest concern in January was whether our New Year’s resolutions were sustainable? Ah, the good old days when being haunted was just about last year’s diet. Fast forward to December, and we were dodging invisible monsters while figuring out how to bake banana bread in quarantine.
Let’s talk about the "ghosts" that haunted us throughout this unforgettable year. First on the list: social distancing. It’s like the universe decided we needed some “me time,” but instead of a relaxing spa day, we got a global pandemic. Suddenly, our social lives went from “Let’s meet for coffee” to “Can you hear me now?” on a Zoom call where everyone’s internet connection seems to have a vendetta against clarity.
And who could forget the fashion statement of 2020? The pajamas that became our new work attire. I mean, what’s more professional than a shirt and tie paired with fuzzy slippers? It’s the epitome of “business on the top, party on the bottom.” Maybe we should thank 2020 for redefining the corporate dress code—who needs a suit when you can be comfortable while pretending to be productive?
Then there’s the rise of "influencers" who suddenly became experts in everything from baking sourdough to home workouts, despite having never stepped foot in a gym since 2018. Who knew that a pandemic would turn everyone with a smartphone into a certified life coach? Just remember, if your sourdough didn’t rise, it’s probably not your fault; it’s the ghost of 2020 messing with your yeast.
And can we please discuss the endless stream of “unprecedented times”? A phrase that, by December, was so overused it could have its own Instagram account. If I had a dollar for every time I heard “unprecedented,” I could fund my own apocalypse survival kit. It’s as if someone decided we needed a new buzzword for the year, and that was the best they could come up with.
As we wave goodbye to 2020, let’s not forget the lessons learned: sometimes, it’s okay to embrace the chaos, whether that’s hosting a virtual party where only half the guests show up or finally figuring out how to make TikTok videos that will never go viral. Here’s to hoping that the ghosts of 2020 stay in the past, along with our excessive stock of hand sanitizer and toilet paper, and that 2021 brings a little less haunting and a lot more living.
So, raise your glasses (or mugs of lukewarm coffee) to a new year! May it be filled with less doomscrolling and more “remember when” stories about that bizarre year we all survived together.
