Here is some cuteness. Just because.

If you’re going to “officially license” our name, you could at least give credit where it’s due.

I’M JUST SAYING.

Adorbs.

Look at the hippie love circle that formed outside Holworthy. Making Friends is oh so cute.

PREFROSHHHHH! Come to the SOCH in the Quad!

Learn about The Voice, eat delicious baked goods, take some pamphlets and meet our baller, baller staff!!!

Though this may be old news (and though selectivity doesn’t necessarily imply superiority) we just thought we’d share from The Washington Post:

plbbbbpt!

Harvard invited 2,110 of the 30,489 applicants to attend, an admit rate of 6.9 percent, the lowest in Harvard’s history… Admit rates dropped at most of the other Ivy League schools, as well, and at other schools at the top of the selectivity list. Stanford admitted 7.2 percent of applicants; Yale, 7.5 percent; Princeton, 8.2 percent; MIT, 9.2 percent. All but Yale improved over last year’s rate.

Hmm, well a whole lotta good that “That’s Why I Chose Yale” video did. Maybe next time you can put some of that production money towards, we dunno… maybe sucking less? Pewp-heads! Neener neener neener!

We’re a little late coming back from break, but we’re sure you’re still feeling it anyway; back to the grind, baby. This week Noice presents a playlist just for you Sunday procrastinators, a little heavy on the Disney tunes but with a little Missy Elliot thrown in there for good measure. Enjoy!

Here's a bunch of pictures of a facially expressive cat to make you feel better.

Dear PreFroshies,

Don’t worry that’s not what we really call you, that’s just a term of endearment we’re using for the sake of this letter. The Voice runs a little thing called Harvard FML. It’s really for us undergrads here at the school (and occasionally a sex-starved grad student) but you often send us anonymous submissions too. Like this recent one that didn’t quite make the cut:

“I’m two months away from graduating from High School and I’m pretty nervouse and scared!!”

We didn’t post it— not because we don’t like you or because you spelled nervous wrong. But we wanted to acknowledge it anyway. Don’t worry little pepper pot. College is going to be fabulous (that is if you are going to college and you are going to Harvard… otherwise we’re not sure why you’re on this site or posting on our FML so we can’t make guarantees). Harvard pretty much spoils its students— and especially you Freshmen. You’ll make lots of friends because everyone wants friends and no one will know you fell on your face in your high school’s production of The Music Man because the hem on your costume was too long. My, my that was oddly specific. But I REALLY digress:

Chill out. Enjoy your senior spring, and do try your best to shake your senioritis before you get here. Even then it’s not the end of the world.

Love,

The Voice

At least it’s Cudi
And not some nineties hacks like
Chumbawamba, meh.

At least it’s light rain
and not some torrential crap.
Sorry New Jersey.

At least it’s HUDS food
and not the scraps the dog gets.
Oh. My b, it is.*

At least it’s Harvard
and not yo’ mama.
Funny? Nope, I’m so serious I’m not even counting syllables right now.

*Just kidding. We love you HUDS staff. Stay classy.

This week we provide you with another incredibly jumbled (since the word eclectic is way, way wayyy too hipster passé) playlist to suit the mood. Housing day is nearly upon us and the air just reeks of the hope, triumph and heartbreak that is to come. Or maybe it’s just those whiffy potholes in the square.

Anyway, this week we bring you a bunch of songs with “house” and “home” in the name (see what we did thar?!), taking you from the pleading, desperate tunes of The Smiths, the jubilant funk of The Commodores, the punkangst of The Distillers and all the shades in between. It’s pretty much all house music, except without any actual House music.

Reading FM today one of our staff writers found this little gem:

In case you can’t read that little box quite right, here’s the actual text:
Two true things:
1. Thanks to the Class of 2013, visits to Stillman for alcohol-related issues have reached a historic high
2. The Class of 2013 is the most socioeconomically diverse class in Harvard’s history

Giving no context for these “two true things”, we wonder how FM will defend this. Don’t see what we mean? Publishing these “two true things” is not only totally irrelevant, but implies that the greater socioeconomic diversity at Harvard somehow explains the rise in alcoholism. Transitive property. Y’all are smart, you don’t need us to explain why this is super fucked up.
