Who is performing? Do you know? Does anyone know? Does the College Events Board even know? Well, while CEB frantically begs someone, anyone to perform by next Sunday, we’ll provide our guarantees predictions on who it will may be.

The Soundcloud Rapper from My High School

\r\n\r\n

My dad once told me: “expectations lead to disappointment.” In light of his wisdom, we will begin by setting the bar as low as it could go: SoundCloud, high school, and teenage boys. Believe it or not, MattyBars from good-ole’ Ellicott City, Maryland might just pop out. With his 3k listens on SoundCloud and dropout-level ambition, MattyBars has officially made it to the big (Ivy) leagues. Matty if you are reading this, I was your fourth listener on SoundCloud. Remember me forever.

\r\n\r\n

Future

\r\n\r\n

I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge CEB’s first clue: “🎭📅". The most convincing argument I have gathered thus far has been none other than Future himself. I mean come onnnn: Masks? Mask OFF?? July 17? A date that is in the FUTURE??? Now how about the second clue?: WALL-E? THE MOVIE THAT TAKES PLACE IN THE FUTURE??? This is very high-level thinking, I know. These guys forget we go to Harvard.

\r\n\r\n

One Direction

\r\n\r\n

Yes, you read that right. The One Direction reunion IS happening AND it’s happening right in front of my freshman dorm. Girls will be screaming, guys will be crying, and Rakesh Khurana will be getting a very blurry selfie with each and every one of them (yes, including Zayn). This is the time to find out what makes you beautiful. This is the transformative experience a Harvard education provides. This is what ecstasy feels like.

\r\n\r\n

Okay. Now wake up. Apart from your dreams, this would only happen in your wattpad fanfictions. I’m talking to you, y/n.

\r\n\r\n

The Weeknd

\r\n\r\n

I am going to be honest and admit that this is ChatGPT’s guess and not mine. Here’s what it told me though!

\r\n\r\n

Masks: The Weeknd is known for wearing masks at his concerts and performances.

\r\n\r\n

July 17: The Weeknd’s debut album contains the lyric "July 17 will never be the same." (fact check: it does not.)

\r\n\r\n

Wall-E (this one is actually crazy): “The Weeknd contributed a song titled "Earned It" to the soundtrack of the movie "Fifty Shades of Grey", which was directed by Sam Taylor-Johnson. Taylor-Johnson is married to Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who played the character of John in the movie "Nowhere Boy". The main character in "Nowhere Boy" is played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster, who also played the voice of the character of Ferb in the TV show "Phineas and Ferb". The voice of the character of WALL-E in the movie "WALL-E" was provided by Ben Burtt, who also provided the voice of Ferb's pet, Perry the Platypus, in "Phineas and Ferb". Therefore, the connection between "WALL-E" and The Weeknd is somewhat convoluted, but it can be traced back to his contribution to the "Fifty Shades of Grey" soundtrack.”

\r\n\r\n

No Caller ID: I spent eight minutes arguing with AI for it to give me a viable relation between this clue and the Weeknd. Nothing. Literally nothing. If this is the future, I’m out. How could you possibly use this thing to write your EXPOS essays?

\r\n\r\n

Taylor Swift

\r\n\r\n

Call it optimism, call it delusion, I don’t care. Those two are synonymous anyway. BUT WHAT IF? What if Taylor Swift heard the cries of desperate Harvard students and wanted to atone for Ticketmaster’s crimes? What if she just loves the cold, damp mess that is Cambridge, Massachusetts? What if she wanted to add Remy to her cat collection? These are possibilities people. I will fully enter cardiac arrest if this happens. I am not joking. I will be sobbing to every song and meditating on this experience for the rest of my existence. No, I cannot remember a single formula from Ec 10B, but I will be able to recite every single syllable of the 10-minute All Too Well.

\r\n\r\n

Please be aware that these are not predictions, but pure fact. If the headliner is not one of these artists, it’s because it WAS, and the College Events Board read THIS article, and CHANGED it. If all goes well, I’ll see you and MattyBars at Yardfest! <3

{shortcode-d31c96c95df33d25d23f0b48c87b3f1bef795842}It’s April and by now, it should be hard to get through more than a few days without someone asking you what you’re doing this summer or where you’ll be this May, June, July and August. Are you studying abroad? Working for a startup? Taking summer classes? Doing research, shadowing, and volunteering this summer? Oh wait, I got it — it’s your consulting era. Doesn’t matter. Sometimes, no matter what you say, nothing really feels like the *perfect* answer to the dreaded question… So, what are you doing this summer?

\r\n\r\n

Here are five excellent and honest ways to respond to this inescapable question, that may happen to be the most common responses you’ll hear on campus:

\r\n\r\n

The Overcommitted and Unaware Student

\r\n\r\n

That’s a great question. I’m so glad you asked. I am working at five internships simultaneously at the U.N., McKinsey, Moderna and the CDC all of which are full-time but I’m doing part-time (they don’t know that I’m full of shit, overcommitted, and drowning in work, but now you do).

\r\n\r\n

The Study Abroad FOMO Disease Spreader

\r\n\r\n

I’m actually doing an internship abroad! In Europe! It’s been my lifelong dream to travel outside of North America and now I’m doing it. When I come back to campus, I’ll make sure to spend the first three months showing everyone all the unique cities I’ve been to — Paris, London, and Rome. Does my boss know I don’t speak French? I do speak French! At elementary proficiency…

\r\n\r\n

I’m a Proud Nepo Baby

\r\n\r\n

This summer? Hmmm… I guess it’s time to call my uncle. You know, the one that works at McKinsey’s New York City branch, so I can get this job fair and square. With my 4.0 GPA and my out-of-this-world confidence in advising major companies definitely not gained solely from my experience working with certain campus consulting clubs — I’ll get a job in no time.

\r\n\r\n

I’m Broke but It’s New York City

\r\n\r\n

NEW YORK CITY is the greatest city in the whole wide world. I’ll be there all summer! Have I found an affordable place to live? Nope. Have I found any place to live? Nope. I’m sure my summer stipend will cover the cost of housing. Meals are another story… but the sights! There is so much to see in the city and with public transportation, everything will be so affordable. (not.)

\r\n\r\n

I May Be Doing Nothing But I Can’t Tell You That

\r\n\r\n

This summer, I will be in the comfort of my hometown, hanging out with friends from high school. You know, I love investing in my long-term friendships and local community. I’ll be working from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on some personal projects and in the evenings, I’ll spend quality time with my family. It’s really an ideal summer situation (lowkey, this may be 100 percent the ideal living situation).

\r\n\r\n

None of these are relatable? Think again or ask a friend to call you out. If you genuinely cannot relate to any of these and are simply ~not like other Harvard students~, we applaud your individualism. Regardless of your certified summer plan red flag, flyby wishes you all a fulfilling summer experience and hope you make the most of this break!

{shortcode-6a17124dcdac8a411693092bfc2f1f33533aa527}It is no secret that ChatGPT has revolutionized college work (among other, I suppose, more important things). Just yesterday, I heard that someone “wrote their essay” in seven minutes. While I’m sure ChatGPT’s take on Hegel and Kant was illuminating, I figured its try at a Flyby article would be even more insightful (and funny).

\r\n\r\n

I first imputed some of my previous Flyby articles until ChatGPT (my new friend?) seemed to have gotten the gist. According to ChatGPT a Flyby article “appears to be a type of student journalism piece that provides a lighthearted, personal take on a recent event or topic of interest to the college community. It often includes personal anecdotes, opinions, and observations, and may be written in a more informal, conversational style.” I couldn’t have said it better.

\r\n\r\n

Next, I instructed it to try its hand at writing. It returned some fairly decent attempts: “Flyby Tries: Starting a New Hobby at Harvard” and “Flyby Tries: Joining a New Club”. I quickly realized I would have to be more specific, as these both were, no offense, extremely boring.

\r\n\r\n

So, I asked ChatGPT to write the easy article, “Flyby Tries: The Pomodoro Method.” I also included some joke ideas. After a couple rounds of feedback, here’s the final product:

\r\n\r\n

Flyby Tries (And Fails Miserably): The Pomodoro Method

\r\n\r\n

By: ChatGPT, A.I. Journalist and Comedian

\r\n\r\n

As a seasoned procrastinator, I was excited to try out the Pomodoro Method, a study technique where you work for 25 minutes, take a five minute break, and then repeat the cycle. It sounded easy enough, and I was ready to enter my grind era. Boy, was I wrong.

\r\n\r\n

On my first attempt, I lasted a whole three minutes before I got distracted by my phone. My friend had sent me a Hunger Games TikTok thirst trap. How could I focus on work when Peeta Mellark’s abs were right there in front of me?

\r\n\r\n

But I didn’t give up just yet. I tried again, determined to make it work. For a while it did. I managed to work for a full 25 minutes without getting distracted. It was a miracle. But then the five minute break came around, and things went downhill from there.

\r\n\r\n

Unfortunately, my five minute breaks turned into 10 minute breaks turned into 15 minute breaks, as my friends and I went down an endless gossip spiral about the romantic lives of our favorite college celebrities.

\r\n\r\n

Somehow, my unproductivity was made even more unproductive. At least we were having fun. When I did buckle down and study, though, the Pomodoro Method was surprisingly effective. When I managed to focus for those precious 25 minutes, I actually got quite a bit of work done. It was a small victory, but a victory nonetheless.

\r\n\r\n

If you’re going to give it a try, just make sure you have a good support system to keep you on track. And don’t forget to include some fun things during your breaks! Might I suggest listening to the song “Hair Up”? from Trolls (the movie). It’s a total bop that I would highly recommend all college DJs include in their sets.

\r\n\r\n

So, who does it better, Flyby or ChatGPT, A.I. Journalist and Comedian?

I’m not a junior, but Junior Family Weekend was absolutely fantastic to watch. The cute mother/daughter duo I saw ordering matching cappuccinos at Starbucks. The angsty 15-year-old pretending not to be excited when his brother gifted him a Harvard sweatshirt. I loved it. Sadly, not every moment is as spectacular, especially when it comes to parents. Yours (and mine) have probably done something on this chart. Check out where they fall, from reasonable to terrifying a little over-excited.

{shortcode-1c6c60ab58ed49937e8ac1eb99a4074a2f7a8791} Getting your acceptance letter from Harvard comes with a range of emotions — excitement, relief, panic, followed by a moment of calm and quiet as the news starts to settle in. After such a monumental moment that may be accompanied by some tears, laughter and hugs, what do you do next? How can you respond to getting into Harvard? Flyby has got you covered with five things you can do immediately after getting into Harvard.

\r\n\r\n

Pretend you haven’t opened your letter and do it again, this time filming a well-curated reaction video. Make your followers jealous and your future classmates cringe. After all, you need hard evidence of the moment. Plan it ahead of time, and most importantly, study Flyby’s article on How To: Get the Best Acceptance Reaction Video before you hit record.

\r\n\r\n

Follow every and all Harvard Instagram accounts. Start with @flybyblog (obviously). Then head over to Dean Khurana’s account — start figuring out ways to be spontaneously featured. Check out the IG pages of clubs you are interested in joining, maybe an a capella group, a pre-professional club (for all you type-A students), or The Crimson (specifically, @flybyblog. Wait, I said that already).

\r\n\r\n

Tell every friend or family member who will listen. Call that long-lost cousin of yours who you haven’t ever actually met in person. Reach out to your elementary school crush who you haven’t talked to in a couple of years. Shout it from the rooftops. Everyone needs to know.

\r\n\r\n

If you are local, get to Harvard and take pictures around campus. Drive those 15 minutes to Cambridge. Or, if you are super local, walk from your house to the Yard. For all non-locals, international students, and out-of-state students alike, consider photoshopping yourself into stock images of Harvard’s campus. These will be perfect for your Facebook post introducing yourself to your future classmates.

\r\n\r\n

Accept the offer. Kidding. Consider your options. Make a pros and cons list of the schools you are considering. Reflect on what you want out of college. Talk to people about your decision, but at the end of the day, it’s up to you.

\r\n\r\n

The best thing you should probably do after getting into Harvard is do some thorough research of Flyby’s content. Flyby will give you the brutally honest version of everything you need to know about student life, extracurriculars, Harvard’s campus, the dorms, our food, the rats, and much more. Flyby will be your trusted companion as you deal with the aftermath of getting admitted to Harvard.

\r\n\r\n

We’ve done it. We’ve gotten through another season of midterms, finally handing in that paper we’ve been stalling on for weeks, taking that test in the Science Center everyone crammed for. But now that we’ve gotten a very well-deserved break, let’s take a moment to reflect back on this midterm season before gearing up for finals or yet another round of midterms, since apparently I learned more than just my Quizlet flashcards.

\r\n\r\n

Studying Early is a Myth

\r\n\r\n

I’ve heard people swear up and down that if you just start early, studying really won’t be that bad!! Apparently, I’m supposed to sit down a week before my exam, open up Quizlet, and get to work. These same people claim that if I study for an hour every day leading up to the exam, when the time comes, I will “know the material.” If I study early instead of cramming, I’ll do… better? I think the theory is that my actions have consequences. Ugh.

\r\n\r\n

Common Sense is Your Best Friend

\r\n\r\n

Picture this: it’s the night before my midterm, and it’s getting to that time around 11:30 p.m. where if I power through I’d have maybe two more productive hours until I pass out. You might be thinking: But the midterm! You have to study! That’s where you’re wrong. LS1B? It’s your body. Econ 10B? I spend money everyday. Gov 20? I turned in my absentee ballot. You’ll figure it out. Common sense is king.

\r\n\r\n

Escaping Your Dorm is Key

\r\n\r\n

Here’s another time where much to my dismay, all the responsible people are right. Getting out of your dorm room to study, even if it’s at Capital One Cafe, crowded around a tiny table with friends, makes a huge difference. Sure, maybe you get distracted by the sidewalk sign (whose handwriting is that good??) or maybe you waste 20 minutes staring out the window people watching, but you got outside. You sat down with your work and no matter how many times you put your notes down to gossip with your friends, it was still more productive than rotting in your bed. Great work.

\r\n\r\n

It’ll Actually Be Okay (Really!)

\r\n\r\n

I have had my fair share of pre-midterm breakdowns and I have, on several occasions, walked out of an exam room thinking wow, I understood maybe a third of those questions?? Don’t get me wrong, I was not being dramatic and I really did understand less than half of the material, but I usually end up doing a little better than I feared. You probably will too.

\r\n\r\n

Midterm week was a shitshow little stressful — I won’t deny it. While finals may be around the corner, I really do believe that with two midterm seasons under my belt, I get a little better at studying every time. I hope you do too.

Even as the fun of Housing Day has settled down since before spring break, our love and admiration for the Housing Day videos has stayed strong. This year’s songs were especially catchy and the bar was raised towering-ly high, but some houses still excelled above the rest with their musical abilities. Here’s Flyby’s definitive list of rankings for this year’s Housing Day videos.

\r\n\r\n

Currier Tier: The Best of the Best

\r\n\r\n

1. Currier: Currier vs. the World

\r\n\r\n

This one probably comes with no surprise—we know that this song is still stuck in your head. Currier had it all: the video production, the editing (flyby shoutout included), the audio quality. This video singlehandedly rebranded the entire Quad (ignited the Quad Renaissance, if you will). They were right when they said “this is what you want.”

\r\n\r\n

Gold Tier

\r\n\r\n

2. Quincy: #PenguinsForever

\r\n\r\n

Quincy’s video was unique in its ability to appeal to bring many different types of vibes at the same time. It began with on-screen lyrics overlaying sunlit videos of Quincy House residents, moving into a more hype, rap-reminiscent style of videography with quick cuts of footage taken mostly indoors—and we ate up every second of it. We know that we’re going to have “Q-U-I-N-C-Y, we the best, you know why,” on repeat in our heads for the next two to three business days at the minimum.

\r\n\r\n

3. Pfoho: We Are Pfoho

\r\n\r\n

This video was incredibly genius and the theme was executed well throughout the entire video, which was very much appreciated. The lyrics went hard, and the Pfohomies did not hold back: “Your man in the river and he flockin’ to the Quad for me”—yeah, they did that. The pfriends theme song already had us drawn in, and the contrast that it created with the rest of the video just made it all the more wonderful. Very well done.

\r\n\r\n

4. Cabot: Caborilla

\r\n\r\n

Cabot’s video quality was honestly one of the best we saw. Actually, the chorus of this video is still stuck in our heads. There was not one part that we felt compelled to skip because the Cabotians were able to find so many different ways to hype up their house, especially when it came to highlighting their spacious singles! C-A-B-O-T till the end!

\r\n\r\n

Silver Tier

\r\n\r\n

5. Mather: Mather Forever

\r\n\r\n

The list of songs that Mather chose was EXQUISITE. Such a good selection, especially with the vibe of the house and people showcased in each scene. The visual choices and faculty integration was adorable; shout out to the dhall staff! Where Mather fell short, we’re afraid, is that their shining points about the house were a little redundant. Yes, the towers are high, yes, it looks like concrete. It’s okay though — the gorilla cheerleader at the end made up for it.

\r\n\r\n

6. Winthrop: ThropGun Riverick

\r\n\r\n

The thumbnail and title of this video definitely made it one of the most creative releases this season, especially considering the hold that Top Gun had on all of us. (We have to admit: the sunglasses were definitely the move.) The shots in this video were not as clean-cut and pristine as some of the others we have seen, but we nonetheless adored the addition of the puppy and the kiddo. It was still quite catchy, too.

\r\n\r\n

7. Dunster: Dunster House

\r\n\r\n

Dunster’s take was very unique compared to the others, taking the musical approach instead of the typical rapping approach. The big dance scene, the lyrics, the vibes — so Dunster. We couldn’t imagine it any other way. The only thing we would have liked to see was a little more genre variation — we aren’t all theater kids, and you’ve got to appeal to all types of audiences!

\r\n\r\n

Bronze Tier

\r\n\r\n

8. Kirkland: “Kirk It”; “Boars In, Boars Out”; and “Kirky Crooks”

\r\n\r\n

Okay, we have to confess, Act I is quite literally the love of our lives and will be living rent-free in our heads for an entirely reasonable amount of time (until next year, maybe?). Still, Act II kind of fell flat, with lyrics that seemed to focus only on Kirkland’s proximity to the Yard. We found Act III a little bit better, though, and will be cackling at the Mather disses the next time we walk past either Kirk or the Concrete Jungle.

\r\n\r\n

9. Eliot: domus, usa

\r\n\r\n

Eliot’s video was sometimes a true bop but switched vibes too many times to let our two brain cells rest in peace. The House staff in the video were adorbs, though, and we will definitely be showing our non-Harvard friends “Sippin’ on that Stein Wine” next time we need to convince them that we go to a “prestigious institution.”

\r\n\r\n

10. Leverett: 106 & Lev

\r\n\r\n

Leverett had some solid song choices, resonating with our childhoods in the best way possible. We felt that it was a tad lacking in the execution of its retro concept, but the 106 & Lev emcees went so hard, we just had to buy in. The special guest was also amazing!

\r\n\r\n

Honorable Mentions

\r\n\r\n

11. Adams: Doing the Most

\r\n\r\n

The Adams House peeps tried so hard and the “surveillance footage” concept was kinda cute, but the scenes included in Adams’ video weren’t enough to convince us that Adams is, indeed, doing the most. We still cracked a few laughs at the House residents showing us their wacky sides — including their famous Adams boxers.

\r\n\r\n

12. Lowell: Bells and Bars

\r\n\r\n

Lowell’s opening was beautiful, but the rest of the video was not captivating enough to have us playing it on repeat. The energy we wanted was just not there, and it seemed like the video started with one concept and then pivoted to something entirely different, making our viewing experience not as immersive as we would’ve liked, though still a vibe. But at least we’ll remember the belltower?

\r\n\r\n

Overall, every Housing Day video did a fabulous job of showcasing the vibrant community and amazing perks found in each and every House. We learned so much about each House just by watching them, and at least a few minutes of each one will be finding their way onto our playlists. We can’t wait for next year’s!

But if you’re really meant for Harvard, you should know that every moment, including opening your admission letter, is an opportunity to capitalize on your past successes. Enjoy the moment with your family and friends? Reflect on your successes and let yourself feel proud of what you’ve accomplished? Ha! No, you need to post a reaction video and get those sweet, sweet TikTok views. Here’s how to make it happen.

\r\n\r\n

Choose your approach ahead of time

\r\n\r\n

There are three categories of acceptance video: shock, yelling, or crying. Shock is gender-neutral, whereas the crying tends to be women and yelling tends to be men. But who knows, this could be your year to break the glass ceiling. Regardless, you have to practice in advance to make sure you have the most shareable shock/yell/cry. A tip from my long-gone theater kid days: mint chapstick under the eyes will get the tears to come quick.

\r\n\r\n

Make your most emotive friend or family member stand behind you in the frame

\r\n\r\n

Does your mom cry at commercials? Did your brother punch a wall when the Patriots didn’t make it to the Superbowl? Did your bestie jump really high when she was prom-posed to? Good. Put them in the background of the video to really play up the emotion of the moment. And don’t tell them beforehand that you already know you got in, so you can get their genuine reactions.

\r\n\r\n

Remember to say that Harvard is your dream school

\r\n\r\n

Harvard. Is. Everyone’s. Dream. School. And don’t you forget it.

\r\n\r\n

Choose one of the following background songs:

\r\n\r\n

“I Did It All” by Vince Myers. The ending of “Chiquitita” by ABBA. “Perfect Day” by Hoku (because of “Legally Blonde”). “Dies Irae” from Verdi’s Requiem.

I hope you utilize these tips. When I was a prefrosh, I didn’t yet understand how to commodify every aspect of my life. So, alas, my acceptance went unposted. Now I write snarky articles on Flyby to try to make up for all that attention I missed out on. Don’t be like me. Go get that publicity. See you at Visitas.

\r\n\r\n

I know that I can’t speak for everyone else, but honestly, I’m going to do it anyway. Spring break was definitely needed, and man, it felt great to finally be home. But, as nice as no responsibilities for a week felt, I did find myself missing parts of campus life. When our day-to-day schedules are clogged by midterms, late-running labs, and last-minute psets, it can be hard to take a step back and smell the roses. But, when you do, it’s clear that there are a lot of things to love about this place. Here are a few of the things that I missed about Harvard during our weeklong hiatus.

\r\n\r\n

The Wednesday $1 Drinks at the Capital One Peet’s

\r\n\r\n

There is nothing better, in my humble opinion, than getting a cute little treat to bolster your motivation for studying. Just kidding, there is something better: when this doesn’t break the bank! Even though I might stand in that god-forsaken line for more than an hour, the Wednesday after 3 p.m. Capital One Cafe $1 drink is exactly what I need in the middle of every week to lift my spirits. It is criminal that I missed one of these Wednesdays while I was at home.

\r\n\r\n

My suitemates <3

\r\n\r\n

I absolutely ADORE my roommates. They’re genuinely the sweetest people to walk the surface of this Earth. Not having them in my company for a week (with the exception of the one I brought home with me) was definitely lonely. It wasn’t even the fact that they weren’t there to talk to, we definitely texted over break. It’s just the little moments, like walking back into the dorm at 3 a.m. disheveled after a night in Lamont— thinking that you’re so deep in the trenches, beyond the point of saving, only to find your lovely suitemate sitting at their desk in the dim lamplight also suffering. An even better scenario is if they’re making the late night trek back to the dorm with me. It’s always so comforting to know that I am not alone in my struggles, and I definitely missed this special bonding over break.

\r\n\r\n

Late night food runs

\r\n\r\n

Speaking of Lamont and silly little treats, the best type of late night treat is not coffee (or shouldn’t be, at least) but instead food. I don’t think that there is anything that brightens my mood more than when I am in the Lamont basement and the friends I am studying with suggest a food run. Yes, I will gladly leave my backpack in the library at 1 a.m. to take a quick walk down the street for a burrito. No, I’m not that hungry. But the journey to the Jefe’s register when we are all hysterical makes it worth the $10 and change. And even better, on the weekends, food after the function never fails to hit the right spot. There aren’t a lot of places that have the same aesthetic at home. It’s just not the same.

\r\n\r\n

That One Class

\r\n\r\n

I definitely have a favorite class this semester. Let me just say that the TF and people you’re with can make all the difference when it comes to dreading or loving your first class of the morning. I have never been so awake during a math class in my life, but the people that I am surrounded by constantly have me holding my stomach laughing, tearing up while trying to understand who Green is and why his theorem is important. Yes, I was happy to not have to bear the horror that was the MQC last week, but deep, deep (very deep) down inside, I missed it.

\r\n\r\n

The River

\r\n\r\n

Since the weather has been nicer, I have finally been able to appreciate the beauty of the Charles river without wearing the heaviest jacket that I own. It is such a wonderful feeling to put everything down for even a half hour and just take a walk with a few friends, talk about life, catch up. Definitely fuels the Cambridge and Boston aesthetic, and was something that I was missing back home in Connecticut.

\r\n\r\n

My twin XL

\r\n\r\n

I genuinely believe that I have never slept better at any point in my life than I have during college. It could be the late nights, but more than likely it’s the mattress topper that I got on sale from Bed, Bath, and Beyond last summer. Sleep in my twin XL always hits the spot. This is not to shade my bed at home but here, my bed is especially comfortable exactly when I need it to be. I know my twin XL is here for me in the darkest times, and I missed that loyalty away on break.

\r\n\r\n

The colors in my GCal (like yes I was stressed but at the same time at least it looked pretty)

\r\n\r\n

I religiously use my GCal, and last week it was sad to see her so blank. Even though it was break and the time to relax, I kind of missed having all the pretty colors staring back at me while I would switch between tabs during lecture to see what was in store for the upcoming week. Sure, it’s stressful, but it’s also a good aesthetic.

\r\n\r\n

The library social life

\r\n\r\n

Even though the social life at Harvard parties might not be comparable to what other colleges have going on, the social life at Harvard libraries never seems to fail. Cabot Library, I’m looking at you. You could walk into that building at any time of day, especially night time, and find at least 10 people you know: that person from your FOP group that you haven’t seen in a while, that one CA from last semester — you name it, they’re probably there. Sometimes you just need that type of social interaction, and I missed having this hotspot to lean on.

\r\n\r\n

Sidechat/Dean Khurana’s Instagram

\r\n\r\n

There is only so much that can be posted on Sidechat while we are all at home, and nothing compares to the pictures and jokes sent in while we are all on campus. I missed seeing the daily HUDS content, or the overheard quotes from lectures. And the same goes for Dean K’s Instagram. How am I supposed to be featured if I’m catching up on sleep at home? I was definitely excited to come back for this one.

\r\n\r\n

Remy <3

\r\n\r\n

This is a given. Who doesn’t like cats? Who doesn’t absolutely adore Remy? This rush of happiness that I get when I unexpectedly see this little cat roaming around campus is the transformative experience that I think Harvard promised me all those months ago. I love my dog at home, don't get me wrong, but Remy was definitely lovely to come back to.

\r\n\r\n

Even though this is only a list of 10 things, I think that I could go on and on. As awful as Harvard seems sometimes, there are definitely things we love and look forward to on campus. Savor it while you can; eight semesters isn’t that long!

{shortcode-ab4de48c78b43c5db330d8268154363b01e69443}For all the college students who celebrate — Happy Ramadan (Ramadan Mubarak)! For most of us in our college years, it can be difficult to imagine a fulfilling Ramadan experience without the comfort of your family and delicious home-cooked meals at the end of a long fast. As a freshman, I was really nervous about what Ramadan would be like at Harvard. Luckily, I was pleasantly surprised to enjoy my time and I found that you can still make the most of this month, even away from home. Here are some tips that will hopefully help you to discover the same!

\r\n\r\n

Prepare For Suhoor/Sehri In Advance

\r\n\r\n

If you’ve been struggling with waking up for that 9 a.m., make sure to think ahead about planning for suhoor/sehri. You can grab pre-bagged individual breakfast through the Harvard bag meal portal from HUDS. If you would like to cook with friends in one of the house kitchens, you can also order packouts of breakfast ingredients online through the Harvard packout system. There’s also a list of kitchens in every house and the Yard that you can check out here. Last year, since I knew I was lazy tight on time, I would have overnight oats, smoothies or granola bars ready for a quick suhoor.

\r\n\r\n

Talk To Your Roomies

\r\n\r\n

Let your roommates know how things may be different in the upcoming weeks. Let them know that you will be waking up early in the morning to start your fast and how that may mean extra alarms in the morning. Perhaps getting that single now would be a better idea for everyone or it may be better to have meals in the common room. It could also be good to explain what Ramadan is and how yes, you can’t even drink water and how you may be missing out on group lunches and dinners for a while.

\r\n\r\n

Reschedule That Lab

\r\n\r\n

If your lab is around the time to break fast, try talking to your professor to see if you can reschedule the lab to an earlier time for a week or two. Alternatively, see if you can step out for a bit to break your fast. Most professors are easy to talk to and will be very considerate of your needs — just make sure to let them know in advance! Same thing applies to sections and lectures.

\r\n\r\n

RSVP For The Soch Iftars

\r\n\r\n

Ramadan is always more fun with a community of people to break fast with. This Ramadan, RSVP for the iftars at the SOCH held by the Harvard Muslim Chaplain. These nightly iftars invite members of the Harvard community, including students, staff and faculty. If you miss the SOCH iftar, you can also request a to-go container from your dining hall with a halal entree.

\r\n\r\n

All Nighters in Cabot Cafe

\r\n\r\n

My favorite part of Ramadan was pulling all nighters in Cabot after getting a drink from our favorite cafe — Cabot Cafe. During Ramadan, I found it easier to study for exams and do a chunk of my homework from the time between iftar and suhoor/sehri while I could still snack and consume unhealthy amounts of caffeine. After suhoor, I would catch up on sleep.

\r\n\r\n

Buddy System

\r\n\r\n

One of the biggest tips I heard from other Muslims was to seek out community — do things with other people as much as you can! It can be isolating to do Ramadan away from home for the first time for so many people. One way to find other Muslims to do fasts with, is to reach out to the Harvard Islamic Society and attend some of their Ramadan programming. The SOCH iftars will also be a great time to say hello to a few new people!

\r\n\r\n

Keep Simple Goals

\r\n\r\n

As we fight for our lives to secure an internship, deal with the pressure of courses and the ongoing crisis of existing — keep simple goals for your ibadah during college life. Don’t compare your journey with anyone else. Maybe this Ramadan will be about praying all five prayers on time, reading one ayah a day, making intentional duas, or fasting at least once a week. Consistency and intentionality is key!

\r\n\r\n

Carry Dates and Water Everywhere

\r\n\r\n

Even if you plan to break your fast at the SOCH or at dinner — you never know! Keep a date and a water bottle on hand just in case you’re stuck somewhere and it’s time to eat. Better safe than sorry, we promise.

\r\n\r\n

Happy Ramadan to all those who celebrate! May this month be filled with lots of blessings and cherished memories for all of you. We hope that these tips will be your guide for the rest of your college years!

{shortcode-d8a3d24190848e3822ddda82c7465e690d5dbd5f}Housing Day is one of the most celebrated days at Harvard. It can be both exciting and stressful. After the stress of navigating blocking and linking groups, we scale walls and sneak around HUPD into each of the nine river houses, desperately trying to win the favor of the River Gods. Although there are many myths and preconceived notions about each house, here are my post-housing day realizations.

\r\n\r\n

River Run is a hoax

\r\n\r\n

Many people carry the belief that River Run saved them from the tragedy of being quadded to their grave. However, from personal experience, this is not true. I was a firm believer that River Run was do or die: If you don’t do it, have fun walking the extra 15 minutes to the yard. If you weren’t going to do it, then you were strictly cut out of the blocking group (can’t have dead weight on the team). Against my deepest wishes, some of my blockmates did not participate in River Run activities… and despite my nightmares of C-A-B-O-T being yelled up our stairs the next morning, we were pleasantly surprised with the screams of C-A-B-O-T followed by A-D-A-M-S. And, let's not forget about our fallen soldiers who correctly “River Ran” and unfortunately still got quadded.

\r\n\r\n

Don’t stir up shit within your blocking group

\r\n\r\n

Please, don’t be the group that already has blocking drama without even having lived together. Just imagine what your life will be like in six months, when you’re sharing a room and living side by side, if you’re already having issues now!

\r\n\r\n

Please, no blockcest (you don't need any new members in your blocking group)

\r\n\r\n

As seen on Sidechat, pregnancies are on the rise (some discovered in Lamont Library, others maybe in Cabot, or Widener). Don’t let one of these be from the intricacies of your blocking group. Blocking groups should be sacred spaces with as little drama as possible. Adding a baby to the crew could ruin the group dynamic… or, I suppose, it could potentially unite everyone to work together to raise a child that is already a double legacy! Just beware of dirty diapers, throw up, and the cries you might encounter around the clock. But then again, also keep in mind the endless excuses for why that assignment that was due last night was not submitted on time ;)

\r\n\r\n

Beware of spring breaking with the blocking group

\r\n\r\n

Watch out for the potential consequences of vacationing with your blocking group. Just know that you will have the next three years to spend time with these people. Maybe spring break is the perfect chance to truly get a real break from Harvard and its people… Don’t let spring break leave you, and the blocking group, spring broken :(

\r\n\r\n

The river is not always sunshine and rainbows…

\r\n\r\n

Being quadded is not all that bad. Currier’s housing video was the most revolutionary housing video of all time, and as seen on Sidechat, it even started the Quad Renaissance! There are debates about introducing “Quad Runs” to get quadded, because “THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT.” Even if you get quadded, keep in mind that the walk is only 15 minutes, which is a shorter walk than what most state school students endure. I’ve never seen a Sidechat post about a Pfoho or Currier rat invasion; Eliot and Kirkland, on the other hand, suffer constant infestations. #countyourblessings!

\r\n\r\n

Although blocking and Housing Day may have been anxiety inducing, everyone ends up loving their house and never even considers transferring (most of the time, at least).

{shortcode-5bfe89490ce89bf7d074d4bdb00225a052757424}Spring semester has been kicking my ass — literally. I’ve been bedridden for the past week-and-a-half trying to overcome the flu, Covid, the plague, who knows? All I know is that during my bed rest, I have had a chance to reflect on the first five months of my life at Harvard — boy was it a wild ride. So, let’s reminisce on aspects of the first semester of freshman year for good ole’ times sake.

\r\n\r\n

HUDS (we love you but…)

\r\n\r\n

I don’t know about you, but HUDS was not doing the thing last semester. Remember those special days once a month when we thought our lives were changing for the better and then quickly realized it was just Parent’s Day or Cuisine Day (yes, HUDS, we now understand your game)? Let’s be serious, the only food we could rely on at lovely Berg were the french fries, sandwich buffet, and Sunday sundaes. I would mention the waffles, but half the time they stuck to the machines just like everyone did to their lanyards in September. I tried to explain to my parents why I was eating out so much at 12 a.m., but they literally shut off my credit cards due to “$pending way too much money at a place called ‘El Jefe’s.’”

\r\n\r\n

The party scene (I’m not sure I would call them parties…)

\r\n\r\n

I believed I was Ke$ha last semester; no party started until I walked in. I was on FIRE. However, I soon realized that what was most important were the memories I made along the way. The walks to the Mather JCR after pregaming with my girlies, squishing together on a packed shuttle leaving the Quad at 1 a.m., the nightcap trudges to Jefe’s and Noch’s, and the vivacious flirting with guys who looked way less hot the next day — those memories never leave you. Trust me, I’ve tried to forget. Let’s keep up the momentum though, because winter is almost over and I have some self-redemption to do (see you soon, Advocate).

\r\n\r\n

Friends (the episode where they all move on)

\r\n\r\n

You live and you learn. None of us would have expected friends from the first months to become passersby you wave to in the Yard (who may or may not wave back), and that’s okay because you’ll always cherish the memories you have together. And if you are still besties with your pre-orientation buddies, congratulations! You are in the top .01 percent of Harvard undergrads. Maybe some of your closest friends are those you met in the Berg line or in Cabot working on an Expos paper. Fun fact, they usually come when you least expect. Shout out to all of my babes I became friends with at late night McDonald’s feasts and Cabot shenanigans — you know who you are.

\r\n\r\n

Comping (was getting into Harvard not hard enough?)

\r\n\r\n

How in the world did all of you hear about punching and comping so soon? I was still buying dorm decorations and asking other freshmen what they were studying in the Yard while you sharks were wearing suits pretending to be members of the Royal Family at social clubs. I had no clue Harvard social life and clubs were so competitive! Nevertheless, I jumped into the comping piranha tank and auditioned for Harvard A Cappella. In my opinion, a cappella at Harvard is one of the hardest comps of them all — HCCG? A gem in comparison.

\r\n\r\n

There is no shame in feeling like you made some mistakes last semester — everyone has regrets! Harvard did warn us that the semester was going to be a ‘transformative experience.’ So, let it be that. Lean into the growth and hey, even if you screw up, we still have six-and-a-half more semesters to go!

Do you ever just need a little extra incentive, a little reward, a little TREAT? You know what I’m talking about– whether it’s that extra special coffee order, a bar of your fave chocolate, or a seasonal TJ’s snack, sometimes (always), you just need a little something-something to get you through… life. There’s nothing I like more than a little reward for getting shit done. Here are some occurrences in a day-in-the-life of a Harvard student that warrant a little treat…

\r\n\r\n

*including but not limited to*

\r\n\r\n

Waking up (great job queen)

\r\n\r\n

Going to your 9 a.m. (bonus points if you’re on time)

\r\n\r\n

Making your bed (ah, so satisfying)

\r\n\r\n

Going to office hours (you are a warrior)

\r\n\r\n

Going to your lecture in person instead of watching it from the comfort of your bed… (either way is better than not going at all)

\r\n\r\n

Going to the MAC (it can be a traumatic experience, I know)

\r\n\r\n

Being productive at Lamont (you have my respect)

\r\n\r\n

Being unproductive at Lamont (we’ve all been there… but you should def hit the vending machine on your way out)

\r\n\r\n

Going to the Quad (I bet you’re tired from your journey)

\r\n\r\n

Navigating the shuttle system (Passio GO! who?)

\r\n\r\n

Eating at the dhall three times per day (way to go money $aver)

\r\n\r\n

Doing any sort of writing assignment (these always require treats)

\r\n\r\n

Doing your laundry (go you!)

\r\n\r\n

Any sort of dorm cleaning (your roommates will love you)

\r\n\r\n

Checking off your to-do list (nothing like that sweet sense of achievement at the end of the day)

\r\n\r\n

Moral of the story? No matter what you’re doing or how much of your to-do list you’ve checked off this week, you’re doing hard girlboss things and if you want a treat, YOU DESERVE A TREAT.

\r\n\r\n

Oh, you haven’t heard of Cabot Café? That’s embarrassing. Let me catch you up. Have a seat. I assume wherever you just sat down in Lowell or Adams or Dunster or any of those boring, subpar houses is about 1,000 times less comfortable than the worst seat in Cabot Café on a bad day.

\r\n\r\n

Cabot Café, to put it humbly, is a place of magic. Cabot Café had good vibes before Pinterest ever said good vibes. I don’t even live in Cabot, and I’m in the Cabot Housing Day video saying “GO CABOT” in Cabot Café.

\r\n\r\n

Allow me to explain. Cabot Café is a fully student-run, late night coffee shop that is tucked quietly into Cabot House E-Entryway, just past the dhall. It’s open every night except Fridays from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., might I say THE perfect hours for a work grind session or light tomfoolery (choose your destiny).

\r\n\r\n

Picture this: you walk into Cabot Café, at which point you are greeted by the extremely friendly baristas. Any worries you may have are immediately quelled by the immaculately hung string lights, the whiteboards that have the perfect balance of decorated chaos and order, and the natural light chatter that is comforting without being distracting. You hear the background music, which is personalized by the baristas every night. You see that, if you so choose, you can add to the Spotify playlist to hear whatever you’re in the mood for.

\r\n\r\n

You have your choice of any drink your heart might desire. The whiteboard offers every flavor of coffee (including my personal favorite — the mocha, for which they just made a new and improved recipe). Clear bins of all different flavors of tea line the back wall. There’s even the option for a lemonade, or other flavorful drinks if you’re feeling more adventurous. AND if you’re feeling hungry, feel free to indulge in a Hot Pocket or some classic mac ’n cheese.

\r\n\r\n

You are now fed, watered, or caffeinated, and have your choice to sit at any of the couches of varying sizes. You can tuck yourself into the couch and chair arrangement in the back corner, where there are bookshelves full of knick-knacks. Or, you can choose your flavor of table and sit at one of the longer tables, the more humble round table, or the smaller, individual tables along the wall. And before you ask, there are outlets in every nook and cranny. I can’t make this up.

\r\n\r\n

If I haven’t quite drilled it home yet, let’s just say there’s nothing more exciting than CabCaf-related notifications. Email from CabCaf saying they have a new mac ’n cheese recipe and are bringing back for-here mason jars and mugs. Boom — it’s like Christmas morning. Text in the roommate group chat: “Roll CabCaf tonight?” Best news of the week.

\r\n\r\n

\r\nAnd before you river people say that walking to Cabot Café is just too far, remember that it’s the same as the average Quadling walking to Widener to do work for the night. YOU CAN DO IT. No excuses — bring a friend and give CabCaf some love!!!
