…SIT ON THE QUAD FEELING LIKE THE MAIN CHARACTER.
Follow for more authentic glimpses into the Ivy experience.
Remember those moments on the quad? Maybe it was a crisp autumn afternoon, leaves swirling around historic buildings, sunlight catching the stained glass of a grand chapel. Or a late spring evening, the air buzzing with distant laughter, the promise of summer just around the corner. You were probably sprawled on the grass, surrounded by textbooks or deep in conversation, but somewhere, deep down, a quiet hum resonated. That feeling. The one that whispered, "This is it. You're here. You belong."
It wasn't always glamorous. Sometimes it was exhaustion, the weight of expectations, or the quiet fear of not being enough. But then there were those brief, perfect flashes. A sudden insight from a lecture, a burst of shared laughter with friends, the undeniable sense of being part of something larger, something truly exceptional. That’s when the 'main character' energy kicked in. Not a narcissistic delusion, but a profound awareness of being at the epicenter of your own extraordinary story, playing a pivotal role in a narrative unfolding right there, on that very quad.
So, did you even go if you didn’t have that moment? If you didn’t feel the weight of history and the thrill of possibility converge into a singular, emotional experience? We all have that shared memory, a silent nod to the unique blend of pressure and privilege that defined our time. What was your quad moment? What made you feel like the protagonist of your Ivy journey?
