Fighting with the printer like it’s personal.
FIGHTING WITH THE PRINTER LIKE IT’S PERSONAL.
Follow for more relatable Ivy moments you won’t hear anywhere else!
You know the feeling. It’s 2 AM, your caffeine levels are dangerously high, and that crucial paper is due in mere hours. All that stands between you and academic glory is the cursed library printer. It beckons, then it scoffs, jamming on the final page, or worse, demanding a payment you swear you just made moments ago. The screen displays cryptic error messages that seem designed purely to mock your dwindling sanity. You jiggle the trays, you open and close the cover, you threaten it with your very GPA. It's a personal vendetta, isn't it? A silent battle of wills waged in the hushed halls, the culmination of all your tech-induced academic panic.
The Wi-Fi drops out right before your submission, the lecture capture system decides to take a nap, but the printer? It feels like it knows you, intimately aware of your desperation. This isn't just a machine; it's an adversary. And you've seen the look in another student's eyes across the room – that shared, weary understanding of a foe only an Ivy student truly comprehends. It’s a unique rite of passage, a badge of honor, a story you can't quite explain to anyone who hasn't lived those high-stakes, late-night tech struggles. The sheer relief when it finally spits out those pages is unmatched, a small victory in a world of intellectual giants.
