My imagination bubbled over with fantasies of stress-free afternoons in independent coffee shops, far away from the stress, work, and worry of Harvard College.As one can well imagine, my arrival here constituted a bit of a rude awakening.Early in my freshman year, extracurricular commitments began to conflict with each other, and my inbox started overflowing with the e-detritus of untold many open lists. I realized quickly that free time at Harvard is really an illusion, and that a choice among the Square’s three Starbucks franchises...
