Academic Survival Guide

USING THE GROUP CHAT FOR MEMES INSTEAD OF NOTES.

Follow for more relatable content.

Remember those first weeks? We all arrived armed with fresh notebooks, a rainbow of highlighters, and a steely resolve to master every syllabus. Our study habits were going to be legendary: color-coded, perfectly outlined, and executed with military precision. Then, reality hit, as it always does in a place designed to push you to your limits. The stacks became not just a place for intense concentration, but sometimes, for a quiet, desperate tear.

Enter the study group. What began as a noble quest for collective understanding quickly morphed. The initial agenda to dissect problem sets dissolved into a torrent of inside jokes, existential rants about upcoming exams, and yes, an endless parade of memes. Your group chat, ostensibly for sharing notes on advanced calculus or literary theory, became a lifeline of comedic relief. That one meme perfectly capturing the agony of a looming deadline or the sheer absurdity of another all-nighter? Pure gold.

It’s the unspoken truth of our academic journey. Beneath the veneer of intellectual rigor and perfectly crafted essays lies the chaotic, human experience of trying to keep it all together. The "crying in the stacks" wasn't just about the stress; it was about finding release, often through the shared humor of a completely off-topic group chat. We bonded over the struggle, and sometimes, the only "notes" we shared were a laugh track to our collective exhaustion. This messy reality, from color-coded ambition to meme-fueled survival, is a story we all share.
