The Lines Worth Waiting In
Besides an influx of inclusivity, gender equality, and margarita orders at Felipe’s, the (almost/not quite/nobody really knows) moratorium on final club parties has come alongside a pretty tragic casualty.
Khuranastagram, as FM Imagines
Harvard students know that Dean of Harvard College Rakesh Khurana sports one of the most popular (and most loveable) Instagram accounts on campus. But not every spontaneously snapped selfie can make the cut for his feed. FM imagines (and poorly Photoshops) the photos that didn’t even make it to the filter phase.
Love It: Scooters
“Please walk your bikes.” Those four words greet many would-be-cyclists who attempt to ride through Harvard Yard. Except for the bicyclists who consider following this rule to be simply inconceivable, there is just one choice for legal wheels in Harvard Yard: the Razor scooter.

J-Term Journal: A College Classic
What did I do when my hometown got hit with its coldest week in 23 years? I put on a long-sleeve T-shirt. Like any good Angelino, when the temperature dropped to 40, I headed to the airport.

Teasing Fellows
We all have that one TF… No, not the TF you’re secretly lusting over. The one that will never explicitly call you out for skipping readings, but continues to stare you down in section. It’s the same one who’s been writing snarky comments in menacing red ink (or passive-aggressive purple) on every response paper.

Reality Check: Penn Newspaper Initiates #beatharvard Campaign
ICYMI (and you probably did because the Daily Pennsylvanian has only 4,000 likes on Facebook), UPenn’s student paper uploaded this video to their Youtube channel in an attempt to #beatharvard on social media
