Barbecued Bliss… in Boston!
An unexpectedly sweet find. Compared to my hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, Boston has a lot to offer in terms of culture, things to do, and most importantly, things to eat. In fact, I think Harvard Square alone has more diversity in fare than my homogeneous suburb of Cincinnati. However, the one category […]
The Flyin’ in Winter
Big Air at Fenway. For three weeks, the ski tower had grown steadily upward from the fallow baseball field. The thing had been months in the making, had taken nearly a million pounds of wood, cement, and steel, and now, in its full incarnation, it soared above the upper decks of Fenway Park. The tower […]
Conan on the Charles
One of Harvard’s many stars comes back on campus. In case you haven’t already heard, whether via the news or through some envy-inducing Facebook selfies; or simply over the endless, undulating Harvard grapevine, Conan O’Brien was on campus this Friday! For those among our readership who do not follow the shifting world of TV […]
The Harvard Brand Matters
Reflections on my interview process. If there’s anything I learned this internship interview season, it is that the Harvard brand matters. An increasingly vocal quarter of critics have called on high school students and parents nationwide to reconsider their collective craze over selective elite universities. They say liberal arts colleges or public universities can offer […]

For others, it was a day spent cherishing a loved one and sharing chocolates. For a few, it was simply the day before […]
Basketball Blues
Men’s Basketball Falls to Yale. The balmy days that are now upon us were but figments of the imagination floating around the ice-encrusted heads of Harvard students just last weekend. Still, if any more evidence needs to be added to the bulging file marked “What College Kids Will Do for A Free T-Shirt,” Saturday night’s […]
Nerds Rule
Some thoughts about dating people who think too much. Cross-registration in Corporate and Financial Accounting isn’t the only thing that goes on between Harvard and MIT. If the apple of your eye happens to be a science or engineering student a couple of miles down the Charles, or if you’re a nerd yourself, you […]
The Shuttle We Love to Hate
A shuttle struggle. Winter is coming but the shuttle probably isn’t, and TransLoc can’t help you now. The levels of snow are rising and our levels of patience are falling. Both those hailing from the Quad and Mather, along with those brave fellows in between just trying to visit their friends (or who, more likely, […]
