YOU LIVE ON THE TOP FLOOR: LEG DAY EVERY DAY.
Follow for more raw, relatable insights into campus life.
Remember those endless flights of stairs? Whether it was your quaint, historic dorm building with no elevator or just the sheer vertical climb to your sanctuary, the top floor wasn't just a room; it was a daily workout. You learned to love, or at least tolerate, the burn in your calves. Every textbook, every late-night snack run, every laundry basket became an Olympic feat.
But it was more than just physical exertion. Living at the top meant a unique vantage point, both literally and figuratively. It meant embracing the quirky realities of old-school dorms – the unpredictable heating, the shared bathrooms that saw everything, the occasional uninvited critter (let's just say, the "charm" was abundant). These weren't just extreme conditions; they were the backdrop to midnight debates, last-minute study sessions, and the forging of lifelong bonds.
That daily trek up the stairs was a metaphor, wasn't it? It mirrored the academic climb, the persistent effort required to master complex subjects, to push past perceived limits. It taught us resilience, grit, and the quiet satisfaction of reaching the top, even when exhausted. It was a shared experience, a silent nod of understanding exchanged with anyone else who lived above the second floor. These are the unsung tales of campus life, the small battles that, looking back, shaped us as much as any lecture hall.
