I thought it would be easy to move from a 2000 square foot house into an “itsy-bitsy-teeny-weenie-yellow-polka-dot” two-bedroom Soldiers Field Park (SFP) apartment. Ok, so maybe it wasn’t bikini cute (or even polka-dotted), but I figured I could tough it out for two years. Really, what’s sacrificing a little space when the alternative was spending [...]

“Why am I doing this to myself?” This is the question that keeps on nagging me as I roll out of bed at 5:45am on a Saturday morning. It is still nearly an hour before sunrise and the Friday night party beats are still rattling through my semi-conscious body. I reach something resembling a vertical [...]

Girl, if you will let me be the man on your classcard, I will fill your days with ecstasy and your nights with still more ecstasy. I will take you to the Spangler Food Court and I will buy you whatever you desire. Would you like a snack, my queen? Then I will buy you [...]

The HBS community has recently been plagued with a level of criminal activity unprecedented on campus. Bob Breslow, Director of Administrative Services, said that while the Harvard University Police Department (HUPD)is still compiling statistics confirming a rise in criminal activity, perceived levels are above normal and involve some “unique” situations.

I got up at 5 a.m. this morning-not because it seemed like a good idea at the time, more because my body was convinced that it was 11 a.m. and I’d slept in. Such is the thrill of jetlag after returning to Harvard from three months in Basel, Switzerland. We had a fabulous summer with [...]

We sent e-mails out to EC’s and RC’s asking what they learned over the past year and the following are the responses we received. Some responses were serious, others not so serious…but all were entertaining. Thanks to all who contributed! “I learned that it is possible for an entire section to be reading off of [...]
The Faces of J: A Year in Retrospect

Admit Weekend struck a chord with a lot of us – it reminded us of the fact that barely a year ago, we stood in their shoes, all starry-eyed, uptight and cautious, excited to be a new admit to the finest business institution in the world. Now a year later, the starry eyes, although a [...]

10. Include jobs with tuitionThis would make the experience oh so much more enjoyable, you know, without the entire stressful begging for employment thing. It could be like a vacation package deal, rather than flight and hotel, great education and $120,000 job for $50,000 per year – Whata deal! I actually think this is feasible, [...]

Feb 242003
I don’t know about you, but the recent onslaught of snowstorms and “incredibly cold” temperatures (as one news station reported) has made it much harder for me to get to the gym. And pathetically, I actually live in SFP, a short walk across campus from Shad. But after two weeks of complete inactivity and slothfulness, [...]
