Happy Monday, Harvard! It’s the beginning of an exciting week -- Visitas! Get ready for all the prefrosh. For those who are hosting, here are some tips:
- Clean your room. If a prefrosh is sleeping on a futon of some sort, try to make it Cheeto dust-free before offering it as a bed substitute. And if the prefrosh is sleeping on the floor, definitely clean the floor. Nobody wants to accidentally inhale a giant dust bunny in the middle of the night.
- Don’t force your prefrosh to study with you, that is, assuming they don’t want to. If you’re studying for a test or working on an essay, chances are your prefrosh won’t be too enamoured by the Harvard experience if they spend an entire night with you in Lamont. But if your prefrosh also wants to get some work done, why not show them how it’s done, college-style?
- Work something out with your friends who are also hosting. Let’s be real, you’re hardly able to feed yourself, let alone take care of another human being or two. Why not let all the prefrosh get together and take care of each other? Talk to your friends who’re also hosting prefrosh, and get them to all hang out, become lifelong friends, and go off and do prefrosh-y stuff together. Trust us, they’ll have a blast without you.
IN THE ATMOSPHERE
Get out your umbrella -- it’s going to be raining all day today! But with highs of 51 degrees and lows of 49 degrees, the temperature really won’t be changing too much throughout the day, so don’t anticipate running back to your dorm to change.
