Remember those days? The quad, the sun, maybe a slight drizzle, and your AirPods firmly in place, muttering "can you hear me now?" into the phone. It wasn't just about attending classes; it was about navigating a labyrinth of commitments. An info session for a club you might join, a networking event you had to attend, a guest lecture you couldn't miss. All while trying to grab a coffee, make it to the library, and maybe, just maybe, squeeze in a moment of actual quiet reflection.
This wasn't just overcommitment; it was a lifestyle. The "event culture" at these institutions is a beast of its own. It's the unspoken pressure to be everywhere, to do everything, to optimize every single minute. Did you even go to [Ivy] if you didn’t double-book your Tuesday evenings, then find a way to attend both simultaneously, virtually and physically? It felt like a badge of honor, a testament to our ambition and, frankly, our ability to juggle the impossible.
For those of us who lived it, and for those still in the thick of it, this isn't just a memory; it's a shared language. It’s the constant hum of possibility mixed with the frantic scramble to seize every opportunity. It’s the unique blend of unparalleled access and overwhelming demand. It’s why we truly understand what it means to be perpetually ‘on.’ What was your most absurd "did you even go to [Ivy] if you didn't...?" moment?
