Using the group chat for memes instead of notes.
USING THE GROUP CHAT FOR MEMES INSTEAD OF NOTES.
Follow for more real talks about the Ivy experience.
Remember those ambitious first-week vibes? Your planner was immaculate, notes meticulously color-coded, and every study group session penciled in as a sacred, productive endeavor. We all started there, didn't we? Dreaming of perfectly structured discussions, dissecting complex theories, and emerging enlightened. The reality, though, often looked a little different.
Picture this: midnight, library stacks, a mountain of textbooks, and your "study group" chat. It probably started as a noble attempt to share insights on the latest econ problem set or debate the philosophical nuances of your lit class. But somehow, by 1 AM, that same chat would be a hilarious, chaotic stream of relatable memes. A dog wearing tiny spectacles to illustrate your academic struggle. A GIF perfectly capturing the feeling of impending doom before a final. Or just a plain "Is anyone else completely lost?" followed by twenty identical crying emojis.
It wasn't always notes, was it? Sometimes, it was just surviving. And honestly, those meme-fueled diversions, those shared moments of exasperation and dark humor, were as crucial as any textbook. They were the glue. They reminded us we weren't alone in the beautiful, brutal marathon. For those still in the thick of it, keep sharing those memes. And for our alumni, let these memories bring a knowing smile – because you’ve lived it, survived it, and probably still use a group chat for anything but work.
