GET LOCKED OUT IN YOUR PAJAMAS.
Follow for more authentic Ivy experiences you didn't know you needed.
We’ve all been there, haven't we? It’s two AM, the library session finally ended, or maybe you just stepped out into the hall for a quick, brain-clearing walk. One moment you’re in the safety of your dorm room, surrounded by textbooks and the faint smell of instant ramen. The next, the door clicks shut behind you. You’re standing there, perhaps in mismatched socks and that questionable hoodie, or worse, full-blown sleepwear, clutching your empty mug. And you realize, with a sinking feeling, that your key is definitely on the other side.
That sudden chill, both from the drafty hallway and the dawning horror of your predicament. The frantic, silent check of the door handle. The sigh of resignation. Who do you even call at this hour? Your roommate is likely fast asleep, or maybe they’re the reason you’re out here. This isn’t just a simple mistake; it’s an Ivy League rite of passage. It's proof that even the most brilliant minds, meticulously planning their futures, can be utterly baffled by a basic lock.
It’s these small, often embarrassing, shared vulnerabilities that truly bind us. The silent nod of understanding when someone mentions their own pajama-clad odyssey. It's part of the fabric of dorm life, a testament to the wild, independent, sometimes utterly chaotic journey of living and learning at a place that demands so much. So, did you even go if you didn’t have a story about that one time you were stranded in your sleepwear, wondering if you’d have to sleep in the common room?
