A Bucket List. By CAROLINE GENTILE As I walked up the steps of Agassiz Theater on my way to performing in Ghungroo, I couldn’t help but think back to the first time I had been to the Ag: March of my junior year of high school. Five years ago. On my Harvard College admissions tour. […]
Septum piercings, decoded. “Do you ever get snot on that?” my little brother, to my mother’s dismay, asked a woman with a septum piercing at the supermarket. She smiled sweetly, ignoring his question. It was a valid, albeit socially inappropriate, question. Not having a septum piercing myself, I had always wondered about them—I guess it […]
Getting comfortable in the kitchen. In light of the recent strike, I have become much more cognizant of how I go about feeding myself. The dire d-hall situation has forced me to think about what life will be like without access to a dining hall at all—when I am an adult… (dun dun dun). While […]
New restaurant joins the Harvard Square dining scene just in time! As of late, the food scene in Harvard Square has been bleak. With the onset of construction and the subsequent mass exodus of restaurants, there have been significantly fewer options to choose from for midday or late night chow. Add the HUDS strike into […]
A match-up made in heaven. It’s official: there’s a new bakery-café in town. Tatte opened its doors on October 4th.

Getting to know Dean of Students Katherine O’Dair. As a nervous freshman at Miami University in the small town of Oxford, Ohio, Katie O’Dair had become accustomed to rejection. Her attempts to join the student council, the campus activities board, and an international ambassadors program had all been in vain. Though she recalls feeling “pretty […]
With the beloved Science Center Café closed, students must find caffeine elsewhere. The closing of Greenhouse Café in the Science Center brings not only despair, but also confusion over where to procure snacks and caffeinated beverages between classes. Of course, Harvard Square boasts many respectable cafes and eateries, but these establishments are both slightly out […]
Some words of wisdom. Two years ago, I decided to get Tinder so that I could write an article about dating apps. You know, for research purposes. I couldn’t imagine actually trying to meet somebody through an app. After all, what would we tell the children if it worked out?! As a matter of fact, […]
Escape the Harvard Bubble! First, it was Al’s and Yenching. Then went B. Good and Panera. And now, at the end of this school year, gone will be the beloved Greenhouse Café in the Science Center. Where is a Harvard student to eat? I suggest trying somewhere in Allston. Given the dwindling number of options […]
