I’m going to give you 20 minutes to discuss these 26 break out room memes
Does anyone actually enjoy break out rooms?
2020 has been one of the worst years: A pandemic, university years cut short, a national lockdown ruining summer, and now break out rooms have come to top it all off.
Most uni students hate group work with a passion and we all assumed that online uni would result in zero group work. Instead, most of us have had to participate in more group work that we have ever have because every lecturer seems to love saying the words: “I’m going to put you into break out rooms now”. This is possibly the scariest sentence a uni student will ever hear. After months of isolation from the real world how are we supposed to be able to talk to a group of strangers?
Here are 26 of the best break out room memes:
1. Time for me to go x

‘We are going to now put you into breakout rooms’ and ‘leave zoom meeting’ sound the same to me
