...rocky start for a too-cute-to-be-true ending. Taj had the luck to be in a single by himself on pre-frosh weekend. After chatting with Tonika in his room, whom he had met at the pre-frosh barbecue, until 5 a.m., he asked her to stay over. Rebuffed, he walked the pretty Texas native back to her host’s room, where he made yet another bold attempt: he asked for a kiss. “Don’t beg,” she said, borrowing a line from the 1990 movie House Party.

I—and, I suspect, most of us—came to Harvard at least...
Eric S. Barr ’03 and M. Rachael Lovett ’03 lived about eight miles apart in Louisville, Ky., but it took them until pre-frosh weekend to meet each other. Though both entered Harvard dating other people, they became good friends their first year, and more than friends by the December of their sophomore year...
