…SHOWER WITH FLIP-FLOPS AND DEEP EXISTENTIAL DREAD.
Follow for more shared campus tales!
You know the one. That communal bathroom, the lukewarm water, the ever-present flip-flops, and the crushing weight of everything. It’s 3 AM, you’ve just wrestled with a problem set that made your brain melt, or maybe you’re prepping for a presentation that feels like the end of the world. As the steam rises, so does that familiar question: “Am I even supposed to be here?”
That shower wasn't just about getting clean; it was a crucible. A brief sanctuary where the pressure of expectations, the fear of inadequacy, and the dizzying future collided. You’re surrounded by brilliance, constantly pushed, and sometimes, the only thing grounding you is the thin rubber of your shower sandals and the quiet hum of your own profound anxiety.
For those currently navigating the labyrinthine halls and late-night study sessions, you’re not alone in that dread. It’s part of the journey. And for the alumni, you remember it, don’t you? That shared vulnerability, those moments of doubt, were as much a part of your elite education as any lecture hall. They forged a resilience, a quiet understanding among us that transcends GPA and career paths.
It’s these unglamorous, often uncomfortable, moments that truly define the experience. They remind us that behind every polished resume is a human being who once stood in a shared shower, wondering if they were enough.
