ZOOM CLASS IN PAJAMAS FROM BED—AND STILL PARTICIPATING.
Follow for more "Only at an Ivy" moments you won't believe.
Remember those days? The sudden Wi-Fi collapse just as your professor drops a critical concept, or the frantic scramble to find a stable connection minutes before a group project presentation is due. It was the unique brand of academic panic we all came to know, often compounded by the sheer absurdity of our physical setup. We'd be debating complex theories, solving intricate problems, or presenting groundbreaking research, all while our bottom half was still tucked cozily under the duvet.
The screen might show a perfectly composed, eager face, but off-camera, it was a different story: bedhead, a half-eaten breakfast, and the constant fear of accidentally unmute-blaming a pet. Yet, we participated. We asked insightful questions. We contributed. We graduated. This wasn't just about adapting; it was about mastering a bizarre new reality where the pursuit of academic excellence met the ultimate comfort zone.
Outsiders might never grasp the unique blend of stress, resilience, and quiet humor that defined those moments. How you could pivot from deep intellectual engagement to troubleshooting your router, all before your first coffee. It's a shared secret, a testament to the unparalleled experience that shapes us. These are the "Only at an Ivy" stories we tell, because who else would truly understand?
