WRITING CITATIONS IN PANIC MODE.
Follow us for more relatable insights into the unique Ivy League journey.
We all began with the best intentions, didn't we? Those perfectly organized, color-coded notes, the meticulously planned study schedules, the serene image of academic mastery. But the reality of an Ivy League education often paints a different, more intense picture. It’s the late nights, the relentless pressure, and yes, those quiet moments of profound overwhelm or even tears shed silently in the library stacks when the sheer volume of work felt insurmountable.
The polished facade often hides the frantic scramble behind the scenes. Remember the adrenaline-fueled delirium of last-minute cramming sessions? The endless coffee, the blurring lines between day and night, the desperate attempt to absorb a semester’s worth of knowledge in a single, caffeine-laced all-nighter. It’s a shared rite of passage, a testament to the demanding pace.
And then, the ultimate eleventh-hour challenge: writing citations in panic mode. That sudden, chilling dread as the submission deadline looms, and you're frantically cross-referencing sources, flipping through style guides, trying to ensure every comma and period is perfectly placed to avoid a nightmare. It’s a collective sigh of relief, or perhaps a nervous laugh, knowing countless others navigated that exact same high-stakes moment. These aren't just study habits; they're the raw, authentic experiences that forged us. You are not alone in having lived them.
