...continuing to live with the kids from that group. But many of us blocked with other people, and we were randomly assigned housing for a second time in our Harvard careers.As a result of this second–and I think gratuitous–randomization, my House experience was somewhat disorienting and left me searching for a real community at Harvard. “Community,” however, can be a pretty nebulous term. Was I looking for a group of kids from Texas? Did I want to live with other white kids? Or Baptists? Or musicians like...

...you’re really pumped for the event,” Steele said, “but then whenever you make mistakes later you kind of know that you should be doing better, because you know that you can.” The weekend proved to be somewhat anticlimactic for the rest of the sailing team, as a lack of wind forced the cancellation of the Horn Trophy, which was scheduled to be held on Harvard’s home waters. The weekend’s spotlight, therefore, was entirely on the freshmen. “We have...
