HEARING THE SAME SOCIETY RUMOR EVERY YEAR.

Follow for more insights into the Ivy experience.

Remember those whispered tales about secret societies, the hidden tunnels, the initiation rites? Every year, the fresh faces arrive, and the same old myths resurface, passed down like ancient scrolls. It’s part of the mystique, isn't it? This campus, these hallowed grounds, always held something more than just lecture halls and libraries. But beneath that veneer of whispered legend, we all shared a different kind of secret: the one about our study habits.

From the meticulous, color-coded notes that looked like works of art, to the quiet despair of finding yourself crying in the stacks at 3 AM, surrounded by books and self-doubt. That wasn’t a rumor; that was our shared reality. The pressure was immense, the expectations even higher, and the pursuit of perfection often felt like a lonely marathon. We juggled extracurriculars, internships, and the constant internal battle to measure up, all while pretending we had it all figured out. We were building futures, yes, but also surviving a unique, intense crucible. It created a bond, a silent understanding among us, that goes far beyond any campus myth.
