This week, adding to our online anthology, some poems on the bitterness of a transient existence. Just remember that first of Four Noble Truths? “Life is suffering.”
Know why I am screwed?
900 pages to read.
Ugh, English Major.
Know why I’m not screwed?
I was done a week ago.
Yay for VES.
Procrastinating,
By writing haiku poems:
A dumb idea.
Fetal position.
I will take my exam in
Fetal position.
Harvard? More like StalkVard. Hyuck, hyuck, hyuck!
This week’s playlist brings you a bunch of old and new classics on the stalkery/lovestruck theme of our newest favorite Harvard Internet 2.0 meme: ISawYouHarvard.com. Also, who knew that Sting was such a creepster?

Our lucky makeover winner is all smiles!
At the kickoff of Reading Period and winter formal season, few things are as refreshing and motivating than a thorough pampering session. Fresh snow on the ground beckons for a fresh look for ourselves, but as college students, money and time aren’t exactly working in our favor to renew our bodies and spirits.
That’s where our December Makeover Contest, promising a free full makeover at Carriage House Salon in Harvard Square, fit in. Nominations poured in for cosmetically clueless pals and gorgeous gals hidden behind sweatshirts and thick glasses, but none melted our hearts as much as Nora Ali’s earnest plea on behalf of her friend Elaine Chen ’11. We had to help this girl out. Read all about the transformation after the jump! Read the rest of this entry »
So, it’s Fall Exam Period 2009, freezing outside, you forgot to wear your sneakers and you’re now nursing Primal Scream induced frostbite and grazed knees. How will you get through the next week or so when Reading Period was such a disaster? You’re feeling especially out of shape after running around Harvard Yard in your birthday suit and you’ve still got a lot of BoardPlus and Crimson Cash to use up before the start of the holidays. What the hell is the blood-brain barrier anyhow? How on earth are you ever going to get through this new calendar?
ON PROCRASTINATION: White Noise Generator – Just click on www.simplynoise.com to get the Internet’s purest and highest quality white noise (y’know the sound that TV makes when it’s not on a channel), it apparently aids sleep and helps block out other distractions.
MeeTimer – This Firefox add-on logs how much time you have spent on each site that you visit. It can give you pop-up reminders if you are spending too much time on procrastination web sites.
Things to avoid:Never, repeat, never go to meatspin.org or hippohippo.ytmnd.com – such things will only lead to unhappiness and awkward looks from others.
If you thought four days of Thanksgiving break were hard, try this newly extended break on for size. J-Term? More like “J-Terminate me, now”! Some of you may wonder, what’s so bad about several weeks of continuous break with family-members-who-love-you-dearly-and-haven’t-seen-you-in-months-and-want-to-catch-up-really-badly-but-not-before-you-show-them-how-to-work-skype-so-you-can-call-grandma-and-then-fix-the-TV-that’s-been-broken-since-you-left-because-no-one-else-knows-how-to-do-it? (Yeah…) Perhaps that’s assuming a great deal about your home life. But that’s just the thing; you do have a home life and a Harvard life. And if you’re an ordinary person, you should know that there’s a clear distinction between the two.
So for those of you who may not know what you’re in for this break, we’ve come up with a little advice on how to ease back into Kansas, Dorothy.
Social Etiquette:
If someone asks you about school, just smile and say it’s all good. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT mention how horrible CS50 was or bring up any readings and assignments in conversation. No one cares. We mean it. Also, tone down the big words and use of obscure eponymous adjectives. While you may fling around a “panegyric”, “heteronormative”, or “Aeschylean” on the daily here, everyone else will think you’re a tool.
Don’t wear your COOP approved Harvard gear in public. Keep a low profile, and don’t rub it in people’s faces that you go here, besides any schmoe can get a Harvard shirt. I mean your cousins probably wear theirs all the time (for the ladies, of course). Read the rest of this entry »
