ZOOM CLASS IN PAJAMAS FROM BED—AND STILL PARTICIPATING.
Follow for more "Only at an Ivy" moments!
Think back to those moments when your perfectly crafted argument for a seminar depended on a Wi-Fi signal as stable as your sleep schedule. Or that stomach-dropping lurch when the submission portal froze five minutes before the deadline. It’s a specific kind of academic panic, isn't it? One where the brilliance of the institution clashes with the brutal reality of buffering, rendering your meticulously researched paper seemingly obsolete.
Then came the era where our "campus" extended to our bedrooms, and our dress code evolved from "business on top, pajamas on the bottom." Admit it: many of us have rolled out of bed, grabbed our laptop, and joined a critical seminar, still half-asleep, yet fully prepared to dissect Kant or debate quantum physics. The irony wasn't lost on us, was it? The world-class education happening while we were still under the covers.
But here’s the kicker: we didn’t just attend. We participated. We raised our virtual hands, offered insightful critiques, and engaged in debates that felt as urgent and impactful as if we were in a grand lecture hall. That unique blend of ultimate comfort and unwavering academic rigor? That’s an "only at an Ivy" moment. It’s the shared understanding that despite the informal setting, the intellectual intensity remained, driving us to excel even when our eyes were still adjusting to the daylight through a screen. It’s a testament to the community, the drive, and perhaps a touch of sleep deprivation.
