Having a dorm-wide existential crisis after one class.
HAVING A DORM-WIDE EXISTENTIAL CRISIS AFTER ONE CLASS.
Follow for more chronicles from the hallowed halls!
Remember that Tuesday afternoon, stumbling back to the dorm, brain still reeling from a single, impossibly dense lecture? One moment, you’re meticulously taking notes on quantum mechanics or post-structuralist philosophy; the next, your entire worldview has been dismantled, reassembled, and then shattered again. It wasn’t just your crisis; it was contagious. The moment you walked in, eyes glazed over, someone else was already sprawled across a beanbag, staring blankly at the ceiling, questioning the very fabric of reality after their own encounter with academic brilliance (or brutality).
That's the peculiar magic of our dorms, isn't it? These weren't just buildings; they were crucibles of collective intellectual madness. One challenging seminar could send ripples through an entire floor. Suddenly, midnight became prime time for debates on free will, the meaning of consciousness, or whether your professor was secretly a nihilist. Forget the mice; the real inhabitants were the perpetually racing minds, fueled by lukewarm coffee and an insatiable hunger for understanding – or at least, for surviving the next assignment.
We've all been there. That shared moment of realizing how little you truly knew, how vast the intellectual landscape, and how thrillingly uncomfortable that feeling was. These weren't just academic challenges; they were identity shapers. They forced us to think, to argue, to collaborate, and ultimately, to forge bonds over the shared absurdity of it all. To current students: embrace the chaos. To alumni: remember the camaraderie born from those late-night, world-shattering conversations. They built us.
