MAKING A MASTER SPREADSHEET OF DEADLINES ACROSS 5 CLASSES.
Follow for more raw, relatable glimpses into the Ivy League journey.
Remember that feeling? The one where your entire academic existence seemed to hinge on a single, meticulously crafted spreadsheet? Not just any spreadsheet, but the master document tracking every assignment across five incredibly demanding courses. It wasn't just about being organized; it was an act of survival, a desperate attempt to impose order on the beautiful, terrifying chaos of an Ivy League syllabus.
Each cell, each color-coded entry, a silent promise not to miss a beat. We became accidental project managers, our obsession with academic planning reaching levels only truly understood by those who lived it. This wasn't just a habit; it was a coping mechanism, a way to channel the immense pressure into something tangible, controllable.
Because let's be honest, behind those perfectly curated schedules were countless nights fueled by coffee, whispered prayers in silent study rooms, and yes, sometimes, a quiet moment of despair amidst the towering shelves of books. The 'crying in the stacks' wasn't a myth; it was a rite of passage, a physical manifestation of drive pushed to its limits.
That same obsessive precision, forged in the crucible of those intense years, often finds its way into our post-graduate lives. The desire to plan, to master, to excel – a part of our shared DNA, a legacy of those spreadsheets and the resilience they represented.
