ZOOM CLASS IN PAJAMAS FROM BED—AND STILL PARTICIPATING.
Follow for more insights into the Ivy experience that truly resonates.
We’ve all been there, haven't we? That intellectual whiplash only an Ivy-leaguer understands. One minute, you're nestled in your sheets, debating hitting snooze. The next, your screen lights up, and suddenly you’re expected to dissect quantum ethics or Renaissance literature with the sharpest minds in academia. Even as your brain half-dreams of that perfect grade.
It's the ultimate paradox. The rigor, the demand for excellence, the sheer intellectual firepower of your classmates and professors—all delivered through a glitchy Wi-Fi connection to your messy dorm room or apartment. You’re physically relaxed, perhaps even comically underdressed, but mentally, you’re performing an Olympic-level sprint. The academic panic is real when your internet suddenly decides to take a vacation just as you’re about to contribute a groundbreaking insight.
But here’s the thing: you still participate. You still raise that virtual hand. You still engage, because that drive, that insatiable curiosity, that push for knowledge, doesn't care if you're wearing yesterday’s t-shirt. It's a shared secret, a nod of understanding between us. We know the unique blend of ambition and exhaustion, the digital tightrope walk between comfort and academic excellence. It’s a testament to the grit forged in these hallowed, yet sometimes very informal, halls.
