In response to this summer’s Supreme Court decision rejecting race conscious admissions, Harvard has dutifully committed itself to image-building and damage control. From President Gay’s reassurance that Harvard will continue to commit itself to diversity to administrators affirming that Harvard must always be “a place whose doors remain open to those to whom they had […]
“Affirmative action for the privileged.” U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s June 29th tweet following this June’s overturning of affirmative action by the Supreme Court brings up a both necessary and unprecedented question. Calling out Harvard’s legacy admissions process in her post, a practice which the Justice Department recently launched an investigation into, Cortez seemingly equates the […]
This summer, I interned at a bank. I lived with six MIT students: three incoming seniors (four, including myself), and three recent graduates. The majority of us worked in finance, whether it be for a summer internship or having a full-time job, and the final roommate was a software engineer. The difference between being a […]
Going to Harvard implies having it all figured out. With peers that serve in Parliament, compete in the Olympics, or have worked in Michelin star restaurants, it seems that everyone else is achieving greatness before graduation. Even seemingly less-extraordinary peers are on the path to success—with hundreds of sophomores lining up investment banking and consulting […]
For current Harvard students, Veritas means truth. For the visiting “pre-frosh,” Visitas, on the other hand, might take on a few different meanings. Whether or not visiting students have been committed to Harvard since December and have been eagerly awaiting their turn on campus, or if they are deciding between Stanford or Yale for the […]
On March 6th, Stanford Law School’s Federalist Society invited Kyle Duncan to speak on “Covid, Guns, and Twitter.” Chaos ensued. Duncan, a conservative judge appointed by Donald Trump, was met with heckles from students during his speech, an interruption that halted his address. Following Duncan’s request for an administrator to help de-escalate the situation, SLS […]
“As women have entered more and more spaces and fields that have been historically male-dominated, you find there aren’t many considerations that have been made to accommodate women entering those spaces,” said Dina Kobeissi ’24, president of the Harvard Arab’s Women Collective. Kobeissi’s sentiments represent the all-too-common theme that many Harvard women exemplify: females in […]
Baked. Stoned. Faded. Zooted. Melted. These are just some ways of saying you are absolutely, 100% high. Now, being high is great, but the method of attaining this elevated state is arguably the most important part. Here I will be reviewing a myriad of ways to get high, from the standard joints and pens to […]
Sir Lancelot: 2.5% of Americans smoke weed every day. We are two of them. We don’t mean purely recreationally, either. This school year, we have smoked before going to the gym, working on Math 55 problem sets, or even showing up for midterms and final exams. Our results speak for themselves; we both have near […]
What is the best way to study your own mind? See your psychiatrist and ask them for their opinion? Get a brain scan? An EEG? Read neuroscience papers? Smoke weed and watch your thoughts as they float on alpha waves? Take a psychedelic drug and meet your demons? There are arguments for each conjecture. Today’s […]
