We are sitting near Quincy Grille. Allure Akaeze ’24 wears a raunchy cheetah-print bodysuit, colored neon pink and blue, with midriff and side cutouts. “I like showing skin, y’all,” they laugh. “It’s sexy. I like it. It makes me feel good about myself.” As a multidisciplinary artist, Allure embodies counterculture and eroticism. They are a […]
Last Thursday, the Harvard College Events Board hosted the annual “Battle for Yardfest.” According to the Dean of Students Office website, Yardfest, a Harvard College tradition, is “a giant cookout and festival-style concert. The two winning student bands from Battle for Yardfest…are granted an amazing opportunity to open for the exciting professional headliner.” This year’s […]
Puerto Rico, Spain, Portugal, and the Caribbean. Be prepared to swipe past a sunset photo from each of these destinations on Instagram every day this week. But if you are sitting at home this Sunday night and need a good distraction from the constant reminders of your friends’ sunny vacations, look no further than the […]
In an inconspicuous building on 32 Quincy Street lies the University’s hidden gem: the Harvard Art Museums. Simply walking into the building is an enchanting experience—the courtyard itself is a work of art. But walking through the museum is an enriching engagement with some of the most important artists and works of art history canon. […]

Grape pizza and blueberry glazed pork may not be up your alley. Fortunately, Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS) hasn’t tried to ruin one food with a creative twist: the fan-favorite breakfast sausage. Although not every dining hall on campus has hot breakfast, every student has gotten the opportunity to experience Harvard sausage in one way […]
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.
