As our motley group of four representing Japan, Russia, the United States (U.S. citizens require special permission to visit Cuba for educational/cultural travel) and India descended upon Havana, the air was rife with a spirit of adventure and mystique.

Designing a Dorm on a Dime
The HBS dorms: You were probably pretty stoked when you got your lottery number confirming a place in the on-campus dorms.

Gone are the Days of Smarties and Raisins
Am I cheap, or have things really changed since I was a kid? I remember my greatest Halloween haul. Dressed as a soldier, I started out at 5 p.m. and trick or treated, sprinting from home to home, until around 9 p.m. I ended up with half a pillowcase of candy. I probably had to… Continue reading Gone are the Days of Smarties and Raisins

Not to be Outdone, HBS Students Start Their Own Porno Mag
(Spangler) Fearing that Harvard students have one-upped them with the launch of “H-Bomb,” a University-sponsored erotic magazine featuring nude photos of undergrads, two HBS students have started their own pornographic journal, “HBS Fleece.” According to RC student and co-founder Byron Howell, “If there’s seriously a market for nude pictures of dorky 18 year-old former Academic… Continue reading Not to be Outdone, HBS Students Start Their Own Porno Mag

RC Student Discovery: What Happens in Vegas, Doesn't Actually Stay in Vegas
(Nevada) The magic of the HBS learning experience took another dimension last week, when some RC students discovered that, contrary to popular belief, what happens in Vegas doesn’t actually stay in Vegas. “Who’d have thought that my ‘new best friends’ in my section would kid about something like this?” nervously said one RC student that… Continue reading RC Student Discovery: What Happens in Vegas, Doesn't Actually Stay in Vegas

We Didn't Know
When doors were finally opened and we entered SecC (Sex-ta-C? I am sorry, President Alex, I am sorry!), with our brand new name-cards, we, simply, didn’t know.

OB Still Going Strong
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. That is what I’m banking on because, although I’ve been guilted into writing another one of my fabulous section articles, I’m pretty short on time (that should read, I don’t have a job, so I can’t justify taking time out to write a Harbus article). So,… Continue reading OB Still Going Strong
Viewpoints: And Why Do They Call it Consulting?
It was when I drew a Venn diagram to illustrate to my husband how the Harvard work/life balance worked that I realized that you can take the girl out of consulting but you can’t take the consultant out of the girl.

J-Crew Wreaks Havoc on Vermont
What was my favorite moment during the J-Crew ski weekend? Summit views? Wind in my hair as I descended the mountain? The serenity of the pines as we ascended the lifts?
