Friends within Our Foes?: Sasha and Heidi
As Harvard students, it might be obvious to think of dogs when referring to Yalies. Their beloved mascot Handsome Dan is unfortunately quite cute, even if they are on the 19th iteration of him. But, did you know that Dan is not the only dog strutting across Yale’s campus?

If you only check your email to see Flyby’s Harvard Today (don’t worry, we do too), chances are you probably missed the announcement to buy shuttle bus tickets to get to Yale.

I Am Once Again Asking Harvard To Increase BoardPlus
BoardPlus is the well-loved semesterly allowance that Harvard gives us to spend at various cafes and cafeterias across campus. That said, is $65 a semester truly enough? I think not (there’s been considerable inflation since 2007). As long as BoardPlus allocations remain stagnant, I will keep pleading with Harvard to recenter academics AND student well-being by beefing up our supply of snacks and caffeine.

Trick-or-Treat: Harvard Edition
Trick-or-Treat! A midterm on October 31st? An excellent decision for student morale! But maybe it's about the friends we’ve made along the way (severe trauma bonding). Settle in, because this is Harvard’s version of trick-or-treating: the tricks are real, the treats are mediocre at best, and somehow we’re all still here for it.
Flyby Fall 2025 Playlist
Fall at Harvard is unlike any other. On one hand, beautiful fall foliage transforms this place into the aesthetically pleasing New England college campus you see in movies. On the other hand, we experience an endless midterm season (that will only get harder from here…), an endless Sidechat debate about finals clubs, and an endless series of 4:30 p.m. sunsets. Whether you decide to romanticize the season or revel in autumnal melancholy, Flyby presents to you a perfectly curated playlist for this rollercoaster of a Harvard fall.
