11 Things To Do By The End Of Freshman Year

We are currently halfway through April and that means the semester is almost over. For us lucky freshman, that means that a pivotal year in our lives is almost over as well. There are some things you have to do before you leave the school in 3 weeks time.

1. Go to Zinneken's

If you didn't go with your DataMatch back in February, you need to walk over to the famous waffle place. It is good for any time of day. For those freshmen in the quad, this could be the last time you're willing to make the trek all the way down Mass. Ave


2. Go to a Study Break

Your proctors and PAFs put a lot of effort to give you lucky freshmen food every week and you should take advantage of their creativity. Plus, this is one of the last places you can bond with your freshmen entryway


3. Get a Milkshake at Boston Burger Company

Honestly, if you haven't gotten a milkshake yet, you are seriously missing out and should immediately seek help for your lack of love of the best food out there.


4. Take a Selfie with John Harvard

Some of us think that we are too cool when it comes to pictures with John Harvard. However, it's really a right of passage for every Harvard student to document their lives here with a picture with Johnny


5. Jump in a Tourist's Picture

To add on with all of the John Harvard Statue's fun, us Harvard students are special since we have so many tourists wandering around campus. Don't deny it, we've all wanted to photobomb a picture of some unsuspecting tour group. So do it.


6. Leave ur dorm at 1:06 for a 1 pm class

We only have a week left of school and this is the last time we can truly appreciate Harvard time. No matter what House we are in next year, we can't leave this late for a class ever again. Leave at 1:06 for a 1 pm, or 12:06 for a 12 pm, or 11:06 for a 11...


7. Jump in the Charles River

Although this activity is better suited for August, it is one that you need to be able to tell your friends and family about when you get home. It is a right of passage for every Harvard Student, so wait until it gets a little warmer in May and release all your finals stress by jumping!


8. Eat Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner all in One Day at the Berg

We are all guilty of not taking full advantage of the best dining hall in the world. The food may be average, but the aesthetics are out of the world. Since it is only for freshmen, these are the last few days we can appreciate time with our class before we all begin eating at our houses.


9. Complete the 2 AM Greasy Food Quadfecta

Harvard Square at 2AM is essential in every college student's life. Greasy american food (Tasty Burger), greasy italian food (Pinnochio's), greasy chinese food (Hong Kong) and greasy mexican food (Felipe's) is all readily available at the place we call home. If you haven't been to all four spend ur next couple weeks going and enjoying yourself. You are in college after all.


10. Watch all the Harvard Movies

Get your blocking group and have a movie night watching The Social Network, Legally Blonde, Love Story and all other great movies based on Harvard. These are your last few weeks with them until August, so appreciate the time you have left.


11. Get out of the Harvard Bubble!

Although Harvard is great, you are also leaving behind the great city of Boston! Go to Fenway Park, shop on Newbury Street, walk the Freedom Trail; there are things for everyone!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
