May Art always fill your caps. This, which the Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ 75th Woman of the Year, actress and vocalist Cynthia Erivo signed in the Pudding honoree guestbook, rings true to the Hasty Pudding’s motto, Concordia Discors (discordant harmony or organized chaos), christening a day full of joy, love, and laughter. On Wednesday, Feb. 5, […]
On Jan. 19, phones around the United States were thrown across rooms and hit against tables as TikTok users were completely denied access to the popular short-form video content app. Two days earlier, the United States Supreme Court unanimously upheld a ban on the app’s use within our national borders due to data privacy concerns.

On Monday night, two hours after Indy storyboard ended, I downloaded Tinder. I chose my favorite photos that I felt depicted my best features: my silly personality and cheeky smile, obviously.

I arrived at Roadrunner, a mid-sized music venue in Allston, at 9:30 p.m. for the Friday night Fisher show that advertised a 9 p.m. start time. Two lines snaked around the long blocks in opposite directions from the main entrance. Our foursome was told that one line was for regular GA tickets while the other […]

Most of us returning students are experiencing the routine first-week-back jitters, but for incoming first-years, the sensation is unfamiliar. They might be feeling trepidation about the onslaught of new people, new information, and a new bedroom (coupled with new roommates and perhaps not-so-new-ish twin beds) in that new building on this new campus that they’ve […]

When this is Done And the young become old the old become elders and elders become spirits — and spirits, what can be said of them? – Ifeanyi Menkiti, Coming To America (2022) Nestled between Harvard Book Store and TD Bank on Plympton Street lies the quaint, picturesque Grolier Poetry Book Shop.

Let’s set the scene. You’re home for break and are sitting at the dinner table, ready to enjoy a nice, non-HUDS meal when your second uncle thrice removed throws a pointed question your way. “What do YOU think about Claudine Gay’s resignation?
