Isn’t it funny how you don’t know what you have until it’s gone? Before the COVID-19 pandemic, we all wished we could stay at home all day watching Netflix in our underwear. Now that we’ve done that for a while, we’re all ready to go back to the things we thought we hated: Riding public transportation in rush hour, standing in a crowded bar, smashing into people’s carts at the grocery store…ah, the pre-pandemic life!
Now that people have begun to get the COVID vaccine, it’s been fun to imagine life going back to how it used to be. Here are 15 things people have stated wanting to do once they’re able to get the vaccine.
