17 TikToks from Freedom Day that will make you want to sink a VK and weep with nostalgia

I’d give my life to live in the smoking area of a club


It’s been one whole week since Freedom Day and hangovers across the country have been rife. The clubs have been booming with young people dancing together, ordering drinks at the bar after a 15 minute wait and a tonne of awkward eye contact with the bartender trying to grab their attention. Not to mention the smoking areas being full of sweaty people chatting out of their arses non-stop for the first time in MONTHS. Nature is healing.

Of course people were going to document their first time in a club in over a year. It’s only right they record it to savour the moment lockdown was lifted and they could snog a total stranger or five. But if you didn’t manage to get out, you can cherish these 17 nights out from people on TikTok to try and ease your crippling FOMO:
