Like so many people in the world right now, students at Aarhus University's Mundus Journalism program are social distancing due to the coronavirus pandemic. We're into a second week, and we're getting used to this uneasy new reality, but not without a lot of existential angst, confusion, tears, loneliness and...TikTok videos! Yes,  just like how our parents discovered Facebook (a platform initially built for college students), we 20-somethings are crowding out the Teens on TikTok. 

In this episode, we discuss how a daily TikTok challenge helped us feel less lonely. How social media can still be extremely overwhelming, and how it carries with it all of the contradictions of our times. 

Featuring Sindhuri Nandhakumar, Pauline Bakker and Susanna Carta.
