Graduation Memories

TAKING GRADUATION PHOTOS IN FRONT OF IVY-COVERED WALLS.

Follow us for more reflections on our shared experiences!

That iconic shot. We all know it. The cap and gown, the proud smile, and behind you, the unmistakable embrace of those ancient, verdant vines creeping up the hallowed walls. It's more than just a photograph; it's a rite of passage, a visual timestamp on a journey that changed us forever.

For those of us who’ve walked these grounds, whether just wrapping up senior year or years removed, that image instantly transports us. Remember the feeling? The bittersweet mix of exhilaration and melancholy, the culmination of countless late nights in the library, intense debates in seminar rooms, and the profound intellectual growth that shaped our worldview. This wasn't just a school; it was an experience, steeped in traditions we sometimes loved, sometimes quietly endured, but always, always remembered.

The ivy-covered wall photo, perhaps one of the most universally embraced senior rituals, encapsulates so much of what we gained. It’s a quiet testament to the resilience, the ambition, and the unique camaraderie forged within these institutions. It’s a promise whispered to our future selves, a reminder of the foundation we built here.

For our current seniors, as you plan those final shots, truly take a moment. Feel the weight of the moment, the history in those bricks. This isn't just for your Instagram feed; it's for your soul. For our alumni, look back at your own photos. What memories resurface? What lessons still guide you?

These walls, these traditions, they bind us. They are part of the story we all share, a narrative written in the quiet moments of reflection and the triumphant strides of graduation day. Let’s keep sharing these stories.
