Remember that economics group project? The one where everyone magically became a "Co-Founder" of some theoretical startup by the time the final presentation rolled around? Or maybe it was just a club, yet your LinkedIn bio read like you single-handedly launched a global initiative. We’ve all been there, subtly — or not so subtly — refining our narrative to fit the mold of future titans.
Because let’s be real, did you even go to an institution of this caliber if you didn’t spend half your time perfecting your elevator pitch for an imaginary VC, or meticulously crafting your resume to highlight that fleeting leadership role in a club with 12 members? It’s part of the unspoken curriculum. The relentless pursuit of that perfect internship, the grueling club application processes that felt more intense than grad school admissions, the quiet competition to see whose “passion project” sounded most revolutionary.
This behavior isn't just about ambition; it’s about navigating a unique ecosystem. It’s the learned art of strategic self-presentation, a skill honed in these halls where every opportunity feels like a stepping stone to something monumental. From the moment you stepped onto campus, you were immersed in a culture that valued achievement, innovation, and an ever-expanding list of credentials. That "founder" title for a class project? It's just a rite of passage, a shared secret among those who truly understand the game. It’s part of what makes our experiences here so uniquely ours.
