School is officially back in session, and with it comes a whole lot of drama, from the endless preparations and school-supply shopping to the daily battles to get out of bed and the never-ending messages in parents’ group chats. Luckily, Egyptians on TikTok have turned these all-too-familiar struggles into memes, and honestly, we can all relate. Here’s how social media is capturing the chaos of going back to school.
School Supplies: The Shopping Struggle Is Real
Buying school supplies is no longer just about picking up a few pens and notebooks. Somehow, it has turned into a full-on shopping mission, with parents spending a small fortune on things they’re not even sure their kids will use, or what they’re actually for. And, of course, Egyptian parents have a lot to say about it.
Welcome to the Mummies Group Chat
Classes have barely started, and the mummies’ group chat is already flooding with messages. Who forgot their belongings? Who’s fighting with who? Which teacher are we already complaining about? From missing water bottles to homework questions and a million other concerns, the group chat is already doing what it does best: keeping everyone updated, confused, and slightly stressed.
Every year, the same back-to-school jokes seem to resurface as summer vacation comes to an end, somehow making us relive all the stress of school while also feeling a little nostalgic. From the school-supply chaos to the mummy group messages, these memes remind us that some back-to-school struggles never really change.
