...life. We have had to endure tea parties, Candy Land tournaments, and a parade of naked people just to pass the time. The administration is testing us, of course. This endless “reading” period is a farcical misnomer, a veritable play-time rather than the hell for which we paid $42,000. It is just another lemon in the large pile that Harvard deals its students. Unfortunately, I am not a juicer, and neither are my friends, so squeezing lemonade from all of our lemons is out of the question. Instead, we are stuck with...

It was the last sentiment of a man whom family described as deeply religious.
