HIGHLIGHTING RANDOM WORDS JUST TO FEEL PRODUCTIVE.

Follow us for more relatable content on the unique journey of higher education!

We all arrived with visions of perfect study habits: color-coded notes, pre-reading every chapter, insightful class participation. Then reality hit. Soon enough, those meticulously organized planners gave way to the frantic dash of last-minute cramming. Remember those moments, perched amidst towering stacks, fueled by lukewarm coffee and sheer panic? Or perhaps it was the quiet desperation of picking up a highlighter, swiping over random sentences in an attempt to absorb something, anything, just to feel like you were making progress. It wasn't about understanding; it was about the illusion of productivity, a desperate dance with the clock before a major exam or a looming deadline.

This wasn't just your secret shame. This was the shared, unspoken truth of countless brilliant minds navigating the immense pressures of an Ivy League education. Those late nights, the caffeine jitters, the absurd methods born of exhaustion and ambition – they forged a common bond. We've all been there, pushing past the breaking point, proving that sometimes, the most effective study habit is sheer resilience. It's not always pretty, but it’s real, and it’s a testament to the grit that defines us. Your path, however unconventional, was part of a collective experience.
