...Time invested provides direct and measurable rewards. And then, your alarm goes off, shattering the fantasy world that you have lived and played for the past night. It’s time for that brutal morning lecture. You now face an important decision: Spend the next few hours in utter misery, or skip class and continue with the life you have come to love, and indeed, now need...
...major motion picture this year. Largely due to the laughable overacting, Regan’s character serves only as unintentional comic relief. The film also suffers from a lame and sedate narrator whose lack of urgency harms the film’s momentum. Overall, weak acting, horrible dialogue, and utter absurdity ruin what could have, and should have, been one of the year’s best. The action alone isn’t enough to carry the film. My expectations were high: millions of advertising dollars raised interest, the teasers generated a ton of hype, and the film boasted...

Though the characters in each story differ vastly from each other in circumstances and personality, they all share the common thread of facing some...
...Harvard’s IT department. While this explains the portal’s emphasis on university-wide news and resources, most of which holds little significance for undergraduates, it does little to explain why a rethinking of the site has not yet occurred in the face of such utter mediocrity, of which “Harvard Happenings” is but one example. The weather tool provides minimum and maximum temperatures for the day but not an intelligible forecast. The “campus resources” tab is headed up by a “women?...
