Dorm Life Chronicles

YOU LIVE ON THE TOP FLOOR: LEG DAY EVERY DAY.

Follow along for more chronicles of dorm life that defined our Ivy experience.

Remember those endless flights of stairs? Whether you were dragging yourself up after a grueling all-nighter at the library, laden with textbooks, or just returning from a late-night study group, that top-floor residency was a daily workout. Forget the campus gym; your dorm building was your personal fitness center. Every ascent was a testament to grit, a quiet challenge accepted day in and day out. It wasn't just about physical exertion; it was a metaphor for the entire Ivy journey – demanding, relentless, but ultimately building a resilience you never knew you had.

Those top-floor havens often came with their own unique charm, from the occasional uninvited critter making an appearance, to the unparalleled silence for midnight debates that stretched into dawn, fueled by instant coffee and ambition. We navigated shared bathrooms, communal kitchens, and the peculiar echoes of dorm life, but those stairs? They were the constant. They taught us endurance, the value of a strong will, and perhaps even how to appreciate the ground floor. It’s a shared memory, isn't it? One that forged a unique bond amongst us, top-floor residents and all.
