...ended one year ago and the Capital Campaign is almost yesterday's news. According to Harvard, the future is here; you are only reading this for idle amusement before putting down the paper to go to your small, well-taught Core section or interdisciplinary seminar. Of course, we all know the reality behind the rhetoric. Consider Harvard's latest opportunity to demonstrate its commitment to undergraduate education: the "review" of the Environmental Science and Public Policy (ESPP) concentration and the almost unnoticed demise of its most lauded tutorial, Conservation Biology and Biodiversity...
This one kid I know recently claimed in one of those infamous dining hall hip hop conversations that we are currently in the "Golden Age of hip hop."

(While that might seem like a lot of time, it really isn't for an only child who talks to her parents every other day.) Because I want to eventually live in California, for me it represents the past and the future, but not necessarily the present...
...autonomy to do things I've always wanted to do, from finding out why the Wonderland T-stop is so named, to eating sandwiches by the river with my friends when I take a break from learning to cook. Or maybe just mooching off my friends who already know how to cook (Gaurav, Uttam, and Navin, that means...
