COPY-PASTING LECTURE SLIDES INTO A GIANT STUDY DOC.
Follow for more real talk on the Ivy League grind.
It was the quintessential study hack, wasn't it? That desperate, late-night scramble to condense weeks of dense material into one monstrous, scrollable beast. You’d open a new document, a blank canvas of hope, and systematically dump every PowerPoint, every PDF, every stray professor comment into it. The sheer volume of information was daunting, and this felt like a proactive step, a way to tame the academic dragon.
We’ve all been there, haven't we? Staring at that ever-growing document, convinced that merely assembling it was a form of learning. The illusion of productivity was powerful. It wasn't just about saving time; it was about managing the overwhelming pressure, the unspoken expectation to absorb everything. Sometimes, that giant doc became less a tool and more a monument to our own academic anxiety, leading us directly to those hushed library corners where the occasional tear was an unspoken rite of passage.
It's a shared memory, this pursuit of the perfect study system amidst the relentless intellectual demands. Whether it worked or just made us feel better, it was a part of the journey. What truly mattered was the grit, the late nights, and the collective understanding that we were all in it together, trying to make sense of the academic firehose. This habit, among others, forged the unique resilience we carry.
