Harvard Today: May 4, 2015

Happy Monday, Harvard! That’s right, we’re halfway through reading period already. Pretty scary to consider how much time you’ve wasted stalking your crush’s formal pictures on Facebook and how little time you’ve spent studying for that final you need to ace to make up for your poor midterm performance (or is that just me?). Luckily, you still have time to change your ways! If you closed Netflix instead of watching “just one more” episode, you could probably finish the reading you’ve been pretending you did since the beginning of the semester. May the odds be ever in your favor.
