First Month of College
I’ve been at Harvard now for a little over a month, and so have decided to write a bit about what life is like here.
First, it’s 2 AM, Tuesday morning and I still have an essay to write, a poem to write, and about 150 pages to read. And a presentation to prepare.
But besides the workload, I’d say that Harvard is not bad. Annenberg, the freshman cafeteria, is acceptable, although their hours are not; dinner ends at 7:15, which is ridiculous considering many people begin dinner at that time, or even later. And because nights are usually spent studying into the wee hours of the morning, students often eat again due to the early dinner, which simply results in an accumulation of calories.
I’m also involved in a few extracurricular activities, such as cycling, Harvard radio, and hopefully CSA, if I get the associate finance position. They take up time but I assume it’s worth it.
Parties? Well everything here is activity/group-oriented, so you need to be in that group or know somebody in that group in order to get in. Which can sometimes lead to difficulties.
I should probably go read now.
Also if you have time, take a look at www.harvardfml.com . It’s worth it.
