VERITOAST

Harvard is really Hogwarts

Veritoast — Tue, 19 May 2009 04:52:30 +0000

Next up: dementors.

You know how at the end of each school year in the Harry Potter books, everything goes to shit? Either Lord Voldemort is trying to kill someone, dementors are on the loose, or Snape kills Dumbledore.

Today, Harvard is kind of like that. First there was a shooting. Now there was some sort of mugging with a knife involved on Plympton. Next, I suspect a giant fucking basilisk will be found somewhere in the bowels of Adams House, holding Domna captive or something.

Or perhaps that’s Veritoast just being really hopeful. End the year with a bang, ya’ll.

“Craaaazy Zombie Movie”

Veritoast got a kick out of this behind-the-scenes look at “Swann’s Blood”. Check it. We like the Blood Guy.

Thanks to reader Nelson for the tip.

FINALS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So you got to parade your hot naked bod last night at Primal Scream, eh? Got your pixxx taken by some creepy Asian tourist, I bet? Got to let out all your bottled up frustrations from the totally unfair budget cuts, right? (Seriously though, NO BACON AT BREAKFAST?!)

Well now it’s time to hit the books if you haven’t already and cram all you can into your brain for your final. Many breakdowns and sobfests have been witnessed in libraries across campus. It’s like an epidemic, ya’ll.

But while you’re wiping away those tears of agony in the gloomy bowels of Cabot, remember to keep things in perspective.

Yeah, kind of like that. It’s only the beginning of the end, guys.

POP QUIZ: It’s reading period, ya’ll

Veritoast — Tue, 05 May 2009 02:47:11 +0000

Q: What is currently the most depressing spot on campus?

A: Lamont Fuckin’ Library.

(If you answered Currier formal, you are also correct. See: RAIN. BOAT. FAIL.)

Surpriiise!

Things you didn’t know existed at Harvard:

Sun
The arts?

Thanks to some event called Arts First, these two things have been shoved in our deliriously post-class-happy faces. Harvard Yard was packed today. Apparently we have students here who are ridiculously talented or something? It’s so awesome that we got to discover this at the end of the year!

In other news: Rumor has it that Lamont has acquired a hot new security guard. Veritoast went to verify that this was the veritas. And it was. Honey, you can open my zippers and peer inside anytime.

It’s the last week of classes, ya’ll.

Hufflepuff Wins! Slytherin Gets Drunk!

Veritoast — Tue, 16 Dec 2008 09:24:03 +0000

Read this hilarious Crimson article. In which Flores-McLeod (Hufflepuff) wins and Schwartz (Draco) drinks his sorrows away.

Finally, the end of UC election coverage. And all the children of Harvard rejoiced. Amen.
