ROOMMATE SETS 5 ALARMS AT 6 A.M. AND STILL OVERSLEEPS.

Follow for more insights into the true Ivy League experience.

We've all been there, haven't we? That particular symphony of beeps, buzzes, and increasingly frantic melodies that pierce the pre-dawn quiet. Not once, not twice, but five times. Each crescendo promising a new day, only to be followed by the softest snore from the other side of the room. It’s 6 AM, and your roommate, despite their meticulous alarm strategy, is still deeply entrenched in dreamland, leaving you wide awake and contemplating the existential dread of an early lecture or a pre-breakfast study session.

This isn't just about a broken sleep schedule; it's a cornerstone of the Ivy League dorm experience. The shared absurdities, the quiet frustrations that turn into inside jokes, the bizarre rituals that only make sense within those four walls. From the frantic dash to the library after a "quick nap" to the late-night philosophical debates fueled by stale coffee and ambition, these moments define our collective journey.

Remember those nights spent cramming, fueled by the same anxiety that probably caused the oversleeping? Or the bonding that happened when you finally roused them, or just let them sleep and chuckled about it later? These aren't just anecdotes; they're the fabric of our formative years. They're the stories we tell, the bonds we forged amidst the chaos, the testament to our unique blend of intellectual rigor and delightful human imperfection. Whether you're navigating it now or reminiscing, that 6 AM alarm ritual is a core memory.
