Feeling Better, Moving Forward
Last week's events may seem like a distant, bizarre nightmare now. Or, they might seem all too fresh and returning to quotidian life might seem daunting. It may seem completely natural to throw yourself back into that Stat 104 p-set or nearly impossible to transition back from days that played out like an episode of 24.
Humans of Harvard
In tribute to the photography blog "Humans of New York"—and its recent stint as "Humans of Boston"—Flyby decided to take its own photographic tour of the Harvard community. Of course, the pictures in this gallery only scratch the surface of Harvard life. If the original "HONY" blog has taught us anything, it's that there's always more to see. We'll be looking.

'Humans of New York' at Harvard
In the wake of Monday's Boston Marathon bombings, Brandon Stanton, photographer and creator of the popular "Humans of New York" blog, brought his camera and his humanistic approach to Boston for the week. Today, Stanton crossed the river into Cambridge, where he spent time taking photographs in and around Harvard Square (including this one featuring John Harvard's foot).
Concentration Satisfaction: Class of 2012
As freshmen enter the second week of Advising Fortnight, Flyby presents a complete set of data from the Class of 2012's concentration satisfaction ratings.

Check out our four interactive graphs showing overall satisfaction rates among Humanities, Natural Sciences, SEAS, and Social Sciences concentrators in the Class of 2012.
SWUGLIFE: A Tutorial
In this special edition of "Listen Up!"—Flyby's weekly advice column, written by two jobless, washed-up seniors from their futon in Winthrop—we bring you one expert's perspective on SWUGs, straight from the trenches. Recently, Raisa Bruner, a girl I really should be friends with, wrote an article in the Yale Daily News's Weekend Magazine about SWUGs, or Senior Washed Up Girls. The piece was picked up by New York Magazine (jealous). And then Gawker picked up the story by New York Magazine (super jealous). The Atlantic Wire, Jezebel, and others have also gotten in on the SWUG action.
