Today is one of the best days of the year: Free Cone Day at Ben & Jerry’s! Stop by the scoop shop in the Garage between 12 p.m. and 8 p.m. to get your free scoop. Although the lines may grow, don’t lose heart—flip open a course pack and get started on that reading for section! We all know Harvard students rock at multi-tasking. If that won’t get you through today, something else might instead! Au Bon Pain is offering a free coffee or iced tea anyone who stops by between 2 and 5 p.m. Perfect time for a caffeine boost to get your through that post-lunch slump!
