EATING COLD PIZZA FOR BREAKFAST AND CALLING IT BALANCE.
Follow for more relatable Ivy moments you can’t explain to anyone else!
Let’s be honest. There’s a special kind of "gourmet" we perfected during our academic years, known only to those navigating the relentless pursuit of knowledge. It’s 8 AM, the sun barely up, and your brain is already wrestling with complex theories. You stumble out of bed, eyes blurry from a late-night sprint through readings, and there it is: yesterday’s leftover pizza. Cold, a little stiff, but utterly perfect.
To anyone outside our hallowed halls, this might seem questionable. A sad sign of poor life choices. But for us? It’s a badge of honor. It’s a testament to squeezing every last drop of productivity from the previous night, that sleep was a luxury, and efficiency was paramount. That cold slice isn't just food; it's a time-saving, nutrient-delivering, mood-boosting marvel because you survived!
We call it balance, right? Not the kind of balance a nutritionist would approve of, perhaps, but survival balance. It’s balancing rigorous academics with the need for sustenance, sleep deprivation with a quick energy hit. It’s knowing you’re not alone, that countless others are partaking in this same breakfast ritual—a shared secret handshake of the academically intense. It’s a quiet nod to the unique pressures and ingenious solutions forged in the crucible of elite education. This, my friends, is an an Ivy moment through and through.
