Comments on my changing colors. BY HUNTER RICHARDS My phone reads 12:13 as I glance at it on my way to my noon class and as I run past the law school — hoping my professor is also running late today – I’m almost so caught up in whether I will be interrupting lecture that […]
Self-care, when you need it most, comes in lyrical forms. After years of biology courses and common sense, I can tell you that the human heart is located off-center in your chest towards the left side of your body. But the moment Mitski walked onto the stage, I felt like my heart was everywhere at […]
…and all through the House, the down-ballot candidates were about to be trounced. One of my good friends told me last week that she wasn’t planning to vote. “I’m too lazy, it isn’t worth it,” she said. This shook me in a way that I have not experienced in a long time. For as long […]
A Harvardian take on some costume classics. Do not blame yourself for not realizing Halloween is only a few days away, considering you had to ask for an extension on a paper and slept through your midterm already this semester.

A struggle with disordered eating. I had only just recovered from years of starving myself and constantly upsetting myself over food anxieties when the HUDS strike rumors had begun.
