The phrase “I went to Harvard and I never recovered” is often used humorously or ironically. It can imply that attending an institution like Harvard was so intense, challenging, or transformative that the person still feels its effects—whether emotional, intellectual, or social—long after graduating. It could also be a playful way of saying, “I’m still processing that experience,” or a jab at the lasting pressure to live up to the expectations of such a prestigious education. Ly Paul <3
