Getting lost in the wrong part of campus… again.
GETTING LOST IN THE WRONG PART OF CAMPUS… AGAIN.
Follow for more relatable moments from our Ivy journey!
It’s a universal truth, but somehow, getting truly, hopelessly turned around on campus feels uniquely ours. You’d think by now, after countless lectures, late-night study sessions, and impromptu coffee runs, we’d have this labyrinth figured out. Yet, there we are, standing by a building we swear wasn't there last week, or staring at a pathway that leads to nowhere but more trees and a faint sense of bewilderment.
Remember that pre-exam dash, when every second counted, and suddenly you found yourself in a residential quad you’ve never seen, three times further from your chemistry exam than you started? Or the quest for a specific archived journal in a library annex so obscure it felt like a secret society meeting was about to begin? It's the irony, isn't it? We navigate complex theories, decode ancient languages, and solve equations that baffle most, but ask us to find a lecture hall two buildings over and we might as well be in a different dimension.
This isn't just about poor navigation skills; it’s about the organic, sprawling growth of campuses that blend centuries of architecture with sudden, modern additions. It’s the charming, yet utterly disorienting, interconnectedness of academic buildings, a historical gate that’s now a shortcut (or a dead end), and those mysterious paths only upperclassmen seem to know. It’s the quiet nod you exchange with another lost soul, a shared moment of silent understanding. This particular brand of lost, the kind that makes you chuckle despite your haste, truly is an "Only at an Ivy" moment.
