There’s a unique cadence to a Monday morning on an Ivy campus, isn't there? It’s more than just the start of another week; it’s a symphony of anticipation and intellectual energy. Do you remember the crisp, cool air that hinted at autumn, carrying the faint scent of freshly brewed coffee mingling with ancient library dust? The distant clatter of bike chains, the rhythmic crunch of footsteps on cobblestone paths, and the murmur of early risers exchanging thoughts before the day’s lectures began.
Perhaps it was the comforting thrum of the heating system in your dorm, or the subtle creak of a historic building awakening. The soft glow from library windows, already populated by determined faces, was a testament to the pursuit of knowledge. And then, the undeniable pull towards that first seminar, the air thick with potential, every mind buzzing with new ideas and challenges. This wasn't just a place; it was an atmosphere, a living, breathing entity that enveloped us.
For those still navigating these hallowed grounds, savor these moments. For those who have moved on, close your eyes.
