WRITING ESSAYS WHILE PACING YOUR DORM ROOM.
Follow for more relatable insights into the Ivy League journey.
We’ve all been there, haven't we? The late-night existential dread setting in as the essay deadline loomed. For many, this wasn't just a mental marathon; it was a physical one too. The rhythmic back-and-forth across your dorm room, a self-soothing ritual as words slowly, painfully, formed on the screen. It was your unique quirk, perhaps, in a sea of equally unusual study habits. From meticulously color-coded notes that could rival a rainbow, to finding solace – or despair – crying silently in the hushed confines of the library stacks, the Ivy League experience forged some truly distinctive coping mechanisms.
These weren't just study habits; they were survival strategies. The odd stretches, the specific brand of tea, the chosen corner of the common room, or the peculiar playlist on repeat. We found our rhythm, however unconventional, to conquer the intellectual Everest before us. That pacing wasn't procrastination; it was percolation. Ideas brewing, arguments forming, paragraphs taking shape with each step. It was a silent testament to the pressure, the passion, and the peculiar process of academic excellence. Whether you’re currently living this reality or reminiscing about those intense years, remember: your quirks were part of your journey, shaping the brilliant minds we all became.
