It’s 9:30 a.m. on Friday, Oct. 10, and the Square is bustling with people proudly holding distinctive brown bags and sporting hats that read, “Not Famous, But Known.” Music pulses from speakers, mixing with the chatter of Harvard students and curious passersby who turn their heads to get a glimpse of the unfamiliar storefront. A […]
Late at night, I get the urge to ponder. It’s like my version of the munchies, but rather than drug-induced, it’s born from a degree of sobriety that’s almost painful. Instead of my mouth watering for a $2 smashburger or a slice from Joe’s Pizza, I crave meaning—hot, fresh, and preferably delivered in under 30 […]
Boston gave us another Oktoberfest weekend, and we showed up in dirndls, ready to take notes. Same crew (plus Schwanz), same voice recorder, same questionable ideas. This time, our mission was simple: every beer is a sex position. By last call at Lamplighter Brewing Company, we had gathered enough material to offend at least three […]
As fall settles over Cambridge and the air turns crisp, life slowly moves indoors. Patio dinners fade away, the days get shorter, and most importantly, the season of the best food arrives. For those of us in college, we are no longer privy to homemade apple pies and the wonderful bliss of nostalgic kitchen aromas, […]
On the evening of Oct. 4, Sanders Theater was filled with tuning notes as the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra stepped onto the stage, welcoming the buzzing crowd of students and locals eager for their first performance of the year—notably the orchestra’s first appearance since its suspension. The orchestra was suspended for the rest of the fall semester […]
A week before move-in, an upperclassman friend left us with a single piece of advice: “Make the most of freshman year.” In the moment, we brushed her advice off, caught up in the overwhelming whirlwind of settling into college. How would we know what to make the most of before freshman year even began? But […]
For dancers at the Harvard Ballet Company, their work isn’t just about the artistry or showmanship: it’s about community. The organization’s creative energy and talents extend beyond the Harvard campus, fostering camaraderie with the dancers and expanding access to the allure of the ballet world. Founded in 1993, HBC is a student-led organization featuring classical […]
The fall season is traditionally hallmarked by pumpkin spice and sweater weather. But to me, fall is characterized rather by curling up next to a crackling fire, beverage of choice steaming in hand, while leisurely reading a good book. With Halloween just around the corner, horror and all things spooky are on everyone’s minds—making reading […]
Boston promised Oktoberfest, so two (technically) German-Americans brought a voice recorder and low expectations to the nearest function. By 2 a.m. last Friday—why so early, Boston?—we had yet to keep any steins, but we did get enough audio to stitch together an eight-tier beer flight, with a ranking translated into nicotine profiles. What follows is […]
Halloween’s coming up! My younger self is shrieking at the prospect of trick or treating, Now it’s just “dance! dance! dance!” repeating and I’m conceding, Despite my better judgement. And now I’m misleading random people I never thought I’d be meeting, “Yes I’m on the football team” (words I should never be speaking), And their […]
