We all arrived on campus with grand expectations, picturing Gothic spires and intellectual debates in perfectly manicured quads. Then reality hit – often in the form of a slightly unglamorous dorm room, perhaps with heating that had a mind of its own, or a window that just wouldn’t quite seal. But among the unique challenges of student living, there’s one particular rite of passage that whispers, "You're truly one of us." It’s that moment you realize your room isn't just yours; it has a tiny, whiskered resident. And what do you do? You don't call facilities immediately. You observe. You learn its habits. You name it.
Whether it was Stuart, Remy, or Squeaky, that little creature became an unexpected roommate, a silent companion through late-night study sessions, exam stress, and even those occasional existential crises. It wasn’t about being unhygienic; it was about resilience, making do, and finding a strange comfort in the shared reality of ancient campus buildings. It became an inside joke, a whispered tale among friends, a testament to adaptability in an environment designed to push intellectual boundaries, not always offer five-star accommodations. Did you truly immerse yourself in the full Ivy tapestry if you didn't, at some point, develop an unspoken, slightly bizarre bond with a dorm mouse? It’s these quirky, uniquely shared experiences that truly define our time, forging connections beyond the classrooms and into the very fabric of our shared history.
