Congratulations! If you are reading this, you have most likely survived your first month of the year at Harvard! Unfortunately, it probably will not be long before you are begging to go back to September.
However, there is good news. If you are reading this, you also have most likely perfected the art of procrastination in just a mere month! To reward you for your accomplishment, we at The Back Page give you this year’s first installment of Tweets of the Week!
In the past, we have found our favorite tweets from Harvard athletes and shared a few of them with you every week. However, coming off a long summer and a tough first month of classes, we feel that you deserve more. So without further ado, we give you our top 10 – that’s right, 10 – tweets of the week!
10. Murph Vandervelde, a junior lacrosse player, kicks off our countdown with an observation of his fellow classmates.
“Some people just don’t get it…walking down the street to class with your IPhone full volume bumping Beyonce is always a bad look…”
Sorry Murph, but Beyonce is a legend.
9. There seems to be no bigger fan of the Cambridge water system than John Rose, a senior on the baseball team.
“Water fountains are great for when I want to know what your building tastes like.”
8. Our next spot goes to Kevin Rex, a freshman baseball player, who provides us with an ode to a legend.
“If Steve Irwin was still alive I bet he’d still be huntin crocs and wearin entirely too short beige shorts #RIPCrocodileHunter”
This is just one more reason to hate stingrays this week. Go Sox.
7. Her sport may not be in season yet, but Cassie Corneau, a junior diver, already has set a pretty high preseason goal.
“Some girls dream about finding the perfect guy. Nope. My dream is to not have to dry my hair more than once a day #h2oathleteproblems”
6. Dear anonymous Annenberg-goer: Matt Fraschilla, a freshman on the basketball team, is impressed.
“Kid just pulled the ol’ shatter-a-bowl-and-casually-walk-away move like a champ #dininghallobservations”
5. Freshman wrestler Colton Peppelman assures you that there are plenty of reasons to love Harvard.
“Team breakfast ended with everyone singing songs from the Aristocats soundtrack. Yeah, I definitely picked the right school.”
A cat’s the only cat who knows where it’s at—words to live by.
4. Jimmy Vesey, a sophomore hockey player, is among the estimated 100 percent of students who are tired of seeing tourists on campus.
“There are tourists at the Harvard-Brown game looking at PowerPoint slides of the basic rules of football #Harvard #Jaw”
Technically, the game was much different at the time Harvard Stadium was built. However, there is still no slack to be cut.
3-1: We have a trio of tweets that take the collective top spot. In recent weeks, pop star Miley Cyrus has controversially taken the world by storm. She has driven off many of her fans with her recent antics, but numerous loyal fans have stood by her side. Sophomore basketball player Patrick Steeves, junior hockey player Tommy O’Regan, and sophomore baseball player DJ Link all have had a say in this debate.
“Anybody remember Mack Maine saying ‘In about 3 yrs holla at me Miley Cyrus?’ I wonder if that’s what he imagined” –Steeves
“I’m so on the Miley train it’s not even funny” –O’Regan
“Been bumping non stop to 23. Miley’s doin it right #J’sonmyfeet” -Link
