Fighting for the last chocolate chip cookie.
FIGHTING FOR THE LAST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE.
Follow us for more relatable moments you can only find here!
Remember those nights? It’s 2 AM, your brain is fried from a hundred pages of dense reading, and the only thing keeping you sane is the promise of a late-night snack run. You trek to the dining hall or that cozy campus cafe, eyes half-closed, fueled by caffeine and sheer willpower. And then you see it. The holy grail. That single, perfect, golden-brown chocolate chip cookie sitting all alone on the tray.
Suddenly, the fatigue vanishes. Your gaze locks. But then, across the room, another tired soul makes eye contact. They saw it too. It’s a silent standoff. A battle of wills over a baked good. No words are exchanged, but the message is clear: "This cookie is mine. My hours of studying, my missed sleep, my existential dread – it all entitles me to this singular moment of sugary bliss."
You quicken your pace. They do too. It’s a race against intellectual exhaustion and competitive hunger. Your hand reaches out, a fraction of a second faster, claiming victory. Or maybe, just maybe, they got there first, leaving you with the crushing realization that even in a place of boundless knowledge, sometimes, you just miss out on the simple things. This isn’t just about a cookie; it’s about the unique intensity of our shared experience, where even the smallest comforts become highly coveted treasures. Only at an Ivy, right?
