Flyby Tries: Starbucks Holiday Drinks
It’s TIIIMEEEEE to revive our dopamine receptors and get into the holiday spirit! Flyby tried all of the new holiday drink offerings and the consensus is…
Should You Pass/Fail That Course?
We all have that course in mind. You know—the one you’re constantly late to, walking in five (then 10, then 15, then 30) minutes late as the semester drags on, to eventually just not at all. And when you do finally make it to class, you can barely stay awake, as weeks of missed material make it difficult to decipher what sounds like a foreign language at this point. Your grades are slipping, and naturally, you are thinking… do I just pass/fail? Well, don’t fret, Flyby is here to help you decide.
6 Ways Harvard Students Are Studying
You’ve probably heard a thing or two about how Harvard students allegedly don't attend class. Well… let’s look at the facts: Students wouldn’t be here if they weren’t hard workers. So the real question is: What if professors graded based on what they’re actually mastering?

Here are a few other ways to determine who gets the few A+’s Amanda Claybaugh will let us get each semester:

Harvard Professor Memorabilia
Forget Q Reports. An entire new butterfly species was named after Harvard’s beloved professor Andrew Berry — which says far more about how iconic he is than any other metric could. In the spirit of Euptychia andrewberryi, Flyby has chosen an assortment of more groundbreaking memorabilia that should be named after Harvard professors.
Things to Re-Center Instead of Academics
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve definitely heard about Harvard’s new report about grade inflation or, at least, seen posts on Sidechat about Amanda Claybaugh’s fated email. Flyby hears your concerns, and we also believe that there is more to the life of a college student than simply their GPA. So without further ado, here are some of the things that should actually be re-centered at Harvard.
