And when a student asked for the motions to be translated to English this happened…

 

When the hunger was hitting like a truck

 

Some said what we were all thinking

When people were arguing over the microphones

Simply relatable

 

 

Here are other reactions worth sharing:

 

And, finally, when the queen spoke.
