24 pounds in 2 weeks? No, unless you will starve and dehydrate yourself which will actually have an opposite effect when you start eating again. You have plenty of diet topics here, just read and educate yourself. I can assure you though, you won't become fit in 2 weeks.

College Annual Day? Is that like college reunion?
You can do some nutter butter diet of lightly baked chicken, protein powder and eggs combined with mad lifts to lose weight. You'll probably never find yourself in caloric surplus because the taste is just so bland

Read up, go to YouTube and research Intermittent Fasting and Ketogenic Diet. Find out if that would work for you. I know it's working for me long term health and fitness wise. It's not a quick fix solution for your particular intention though.
Best to avoid fad diets. Think about sustainability and long term health and fitness. So what if you don't look aesthetically pleasing for that one college day?
You've got the rest of your life to be functionally healthy for.

A boiled egg diet is simmilar to an egg fast which is a short term diet consisting of only eggs, butter and 1/2 oz cheese per egg.
This diet, being very low carb and high fat will get you into deep ketosis and you could lose 10lb in a couple of weeks although much of that will be lost water weight.
To keep losing fat weight after that go on a ketogenic or Low carb high fat diet.

Keep it simple
Diet ingredients (simple):
Fresh spinach (throw in freezer if going bad, then chop up and saute if needed)
Frozen cauliflower and broccoli
Eggs, seafood, steak, chicken
Fats for flavor when needed (butter, oil)
Frozen veggie mix
Sharp cheddar
Potential dishes:
Spinach and boiled egg salad
Veggie and egg burrito (tortilla) with sharp cheddar
Butter sautéed shrimp on spinach
Steak with side of cauliflower and broccoli with sharp cheddar
Etc
Advantages:
Most dishes you can start to finish in less than 15 minutes
Don't have to buy much
Ingredients last (frozen veggies and shrimp lasts a while, eggs last weeks, steak buy fresh, spinach buy fresh then put in freezer)
I love all of these ingredients and dishes, so if you don't, adapt it to your flavor.

Im getting my friend during the last week of August to do a keto diet. I told him to gather the motivation to do it for just 1 week.
Both of us want to see what 1 week can do for him in terms of body weight. He lives on a pure carb diet and probably weighs the same as you.

Forget this college annual day and start prepping for next years.
That's the best advice you're going to get if you have less than two weeks to prepare for this one.
You aint really gonna do shit in two weeks.

You could drop quite abit of fat in two weeks depending how rough you're willing to feel and how disciplined you are.
24lbs is unrealistic though.
Do something like:
-Full ketogenic. Meals: big chunk of lean meat, low carb veggies, abit of healthy fat(coconut oil, olive oil). Breakfast lunch and dinner. Couple of teaspoons/day of coconut oil for mental energy
-Multivitamin, omega 3s, extra B-vitamins
-Drink tons of water
-Lights out and sleep 10.30pm every night
-Tons of walking - 2hrs+ per day
-Some exercise like weightlifting or sprints 2x-3x a week. Short workouts. No "long slow cardio".
-1day/week "Carb up" where you eat carbs after a workout, none any other time (resets complicated hormonal things, keeps your metabolism up)
Absolutely NO:
-Sugar, candy, desserts
-Dairy
-Alcohol
-Starchy carbs like bread, pasta, rice, potatoes etc - except on the carb-up day
You will feel like shit and melt fat but it won't be 24lbs. 10lbs is possible. If you've never gone low carb before be prepared to feel light headed, cranky, fatigued. Coconut oil relieves it somewhat, but dont go overboard, no more than couple of spoonfuls a day.
Also ignore scale weight (since water weight fluctuates much) and measure fat on your body with calipers/ mirror if you can judge it visually.

Think long term, because honestly you sound pretty overweight. Even 24 pounds isn't going to change that much. Find a diet and a weight lifting regime that you can stick to

Seems like one of those threads where OP doesn't like the answers due to effort and won't come back with a report. I love surprises though.
