THE WEIRD CHANT EVERYONE JOINED IN UNIRONICALLY.

Follow us for more stories that hit home.

Remember those days? The relentless grind, the late-night library sessions fueled by dubious coffee, the pressure that felt like it could shatter glass. Amidst all that intensity, our campuses were home to some truly bizarre traditions. And honestly, we often didn't expect to miss them.

Take, for instance, that one weird chant. You know the one. It wasn't profound, probably didn't make much sense, and certainly wasn't something you'd ever admit to doing outside those hallowed halls. Maybe it was a pre-exam ritual, a collective primal scream before finals, or a bizarre rallying cry during an intercollegiate event. Whatever it was, the first time you heard it, you probably thought, "This is absurd. I'm too sophisticated for this." Yet, somehow, when the moment arrived, you found yourself right there, lungs bursting, joining the chorus of hundreds, shouting those strange, unironic words.

It wasn't just about the words; it was about the shared absurdity, the fleeting release from academic rigor, the unexpected sense of belonging. In those moments, the competitive edge softened, and we were just a sea of students, united in a strangely wholesome, slightly unhinged collective performance. Looking back, it’s not the textbooks or the lectures we miss most, but often these peculiar, communal rites of passage. They were weird, yes, but they were ours, shaping our experience in ways we never anticipated.
