SUBMITTING A PAPER FROM A BATHROOM STALL WITH 2% BATTERY.
Follow for more "Only at an Ivy" moments you won't believe.
We've all been there, right? That pre-dawn scramble, the digital clock mocking you as the deadline looms. You’ve poured days, maybe weeks, into this paper, every citation meticulously placed, every argument polished. Then, the universe conspires against you. Your dorm Wi-Fi, usually a ghost, decides to materialize only to vanish again, and your laptop battery, a loyal companion through countless all-nighters, suddenly plummets to single digits. Panic, cold and sharp, grips you.
You bolt from your desk, charger in hand, eyes scanning for any functioning outlet, any flicker of a signal. The library is closed, the common room deserted. Your last hope? That one, often-overlooked, surprisingly strong Wi-Fi signal that sometimes extends… to the bathroom. Yes, that's right. You find yourself hunched in a bathroom stall, the faint hum of the ventilation system your only witness, one eye glued to the rapidly diminishing battery icon, the other frantically clicking "submit." The relief, when that confirmation email pings, is unlike any other. It’s a primal scream of victory, a quiet fist pump in a very unglamorous setting.
This isn't just about a paper; it's about the relentless pursuit of excellence, the absurd lengths we go to, and the bizarre, shared moments of survival that forge an unbreakable bond among us. These are the stories we tell, the ones that make sense only to those who've walked these halls, faced these deadlines, and learned to conquer technical glitches with sheer, unadulterated will. It’s a badge of honor, a testament to what it truly means to thrive in this unique environment.
