Seniors Share Their Most Embarrassing Moments and Fondest Memories

EXPERIENCES

Fondest memory: The best moment was waking up in the Adams House courtyard one Sunday morning. I didn't feel like climbing up the four flights of stairs.

Robert M. Zirovich

Most embarrassing moment: Freshman year, on the very first night, my roommate locked himself out of our room in Canaday and slept in the bathroom using a shower curtain as a blanket. He was running around in his underwear outside trying to get us to open the door but I had earplugs in and my other roommate thought he was dreaming.

Fondest memory: My fondest memories have just been talking to various close friends late into the night. Nothing too spectacular.

Most embarrassing moment: The most embarrassing was probably peeing in my room my freshman year and my roommate yelling at me. It was pretty bad.

Fondest memory: Fun was staying up all night playing cards, all the time.

Steven N. Kalkanis

Most embarrassing moment: My roommates love to play practical jokes and pranks. Junior year, I remember one time when I had half an hour until my meeting with a professor, and I still had to prepare for it. But when I went into the closet to get something, my roommates locked me in; when I told them I had to prepare for my meeting, they just gave me a flashlight and kept me in there. As it turned out, I was late to my meeting--I had a fun time explaining to my professor why I was late.

Fondest memory: Right before winter break sophomore year, my roommates had a smores party in our room. It started out as a small gathering for the entryway, but as all our parties seemed to end up, there were between 100 and 200 people going in and out of our room. For me, that's what Harvard is all about--meeting people from different places and having fun. That night epitomized Harvard.

Lynn D. Lu and Lorna K. Brittain

Fondest memory:

LU: When the Wall Street Journal guy came to Adams House...

BRITTAIN: And we all sat in the dining hall and read Baudelaire.

LU: Somebody got up and made this announcement that the shuttle bus was a capitalist tool.
