GO TO A TALK JUST BECAUSE IT HAD SNACKS. Follow for more relatable campus tales and a trip down memory lane!
Remember those days? The campus was a relentless whirlwind of opportunities and obligations: guest speakers, club meetings, networking events, info sessions. Your digital calendar was a chaotic mosaic of commitments, often self-imposed in a desperate attempt to 'maximize the experience' and prove you were truly engaged. And let’s be honest, for many of us, the most compelling reason to show up wasn’t always the illustrious speaker or the groundbreaking research. Sometimes, it was the promise of free pizza, lukewarm coffee, or those surprisingly good cookies.
These weren't just snacks; they were lifelines. A tiny, edible reward for pushing through another late-night study session, a quick, guilt-free dinner when your schedule allowed for nothing else, or simply a moment of shared, carb-fueled camaraderie. That silent, knowing nod across a crowded lecture hall as you both eyed the refreshment table? That was a hallmark of our time. It wasn't just about the 'free' aspect; it was about finding small, human comforts in an intensely demanding, high-achieving environment. It was about strategically navigating the offerings to sustain yourself, both physically and emotionally, through a relentless schedule. Did you even truly experience our unique academic ecosystem if you never strategically planned your evening around which department or student group was serving dinner or offering the best dessert spread? It’s a quintessential part of the journey we all shared.
