TAKING SNOW DAY PHOTOS LIKE YOU’RE IN A CATALOG.
Follow us for more deep dives into the traditions that shaped our Ivy experience.
Remember those magical mornings? The campus blanketed in a pristine layer of snow, transforming gothic architecture and historic quads into something straight out of a postcard. Before the slush, before the frantic dash to class, there was that collective, almost primal urge: grab your phone, find the perfect angle, and capture the idealized version of our student lives.
We all did it, didn't we? Donning that perfectly coordinated scarf, cradling a steaming mug, strategically placing ourselves amidst the ancient trees or against an iconic archway. Every shot meticulously framed to look effortlessly picturesque, ready for admission brochures or a perfectly curated Instagram feed. It wasn’t just about documenting the beauty; it was about embodying that serene, aspirational image of Ivy League life, even if just for a few fleeting moments before diving back into the library’s deep end.
Those snow day photos weren't just pictures; they were a shared performance. A temporary respite from deadlines, a collective acknowledgment of beauty amidst the grind. Now, as alums, do those images still evoke the same feeling? Do you remember the friend who always nailed the shot, or the ridiculous lengths we’d go to for that perfect ‘catalog’ aesthetic? Share your favorite snow day memory or the funniest behind-the-scenes tale. What stories do those picture-perfect moments tell you now?
