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.

Head of the Charles OAR-verheards

This weekend brought perfect fall weather, the emergence of pumpkin spice treats, and thousands of people descending upon the Charles in their Patagonias, Vineyard Vine vests, and L.L. Bean boots to watch the Head of the Charles. Armed with our free TopoChico drinks, we wandered along the Charles to watch HOTC, grab as many free items as possible, and eavesdrop on all the conversations happening. Here is our collection of our favorite quotes from random passersby during HOTC — because no one is truly ever safe from our *crew.*

Things That Should Be Concentrations

As I sit here in my third year at this small liberal arts institution just outside of Boston, I’m nearing the end of my academic career and am forced to confront the looming fate of adulting.

No years-long, committee-led curriculum review needed: Here’s my take on the new concentrations Harvard needs. For, you know, intellectual vitality.

Ode to the English Department

Many students arrive at Harvard blissfully undecided in their studies. Their freshman year is dedicated to experimentation, and they dedicate themselves to Hum 10, Ec10a, and LS1a simultaneously.
