At some point in my girlhood, undefined, I drew in a broad breath which I never released. So long I’ve been the lone moon of a solar system forsaken. Acne — pockmarked like a seagull scooped out the pulp of my face, cratered like a sallow gray planet marinating in a toxic atmosphere of discontent. […]
Brittany had one hand on the phone, the other on her best friend’s head. But Securitas had come too late—Sarah was dead. … It was a cool February morning, the smell of love in the air. Teddy bears and flowers roamed the Yard, but Sarah didn’t care. A romantic dinner with roses, she’d dream and […]
Although Harvard students might disagree about many things, it seems like they all can agree on one: Harvard parties suck. Pre-game in a dorm. Go to a function with mediocre music. Eat Jefe’s or Joe’s. For a school filled with extraordinary talent and people, going out is often an unremarkable experience. Yet one group on […]
Nestled on the corner of Mass Ave and Bow Street, The Attic Cambridge peeps out at the semi-basement level. It’s easy for passersby to miss it, but if you know what you’re looking for, it’s worth the trip down. I certainly thought so. This isn’t your average thrift store. Every piece of clothing is hand-picked […]

The first ever “BAFTUB” award, a kissing cactus, and a “Murder on the Dancefloor.” These were just some of the many highlights of the Hasty Pudding Theatricals’ opening night of their 175th production, Heist, Heist, Baby. But before the show began, the group honored their 2024 Man of the Year, Irish actor Barry Keoghan. Keoghan […]

Premiering on February 10th and 11th at Sanders Theatre, the show dazzles from start to finish. Featuring a diverse cast of performers both from within the Harvard community […]
It’s February 2023. The wind creeps under your door, and ice clings to the inside of your window. While there are very few strategies to break the monotony of the spring semester and survive a frostbitten Cambridge, put down the problem sets, delay the interviews, and embrace these activities to beat hibernation and keep your […]
A loaf of bread, strobe lights, and a hunk of concrete—not every museum exhibit can claim to contain all these objects in one room. But the Harvard Art Museums’ new show, “Wolf Vostell: Dé-coll/age Is Your Life,” can, and does. The exhibition chronologically leads viewers through the development of the work of German artist Wolf […]
