Tweets of the Week — Nov. 1 Edition

October is over, and there are plenty of reasons why you should be thrilled. First off, the halfway point of the semester has passed, and Thanksgiving break is just weeks away. Secondly, Boston has crowned another champion! The Red Sox have claimed an improbable World Series title, and you should be thrilled for your local team! Otherwise, you should be thrilled that you will no longer be surrounded by bandwagoners who bought their first Sox apparel moments before heading to Kenmore on Wednesday.

Lastly, the most important portion of the season has arrived for the fall sports teams at Harvard. Each team is preparing for a title run, and many teams are in great positions to do so. In fact, on Saturday afternoon, the women’s soccer team became the first Crimson team to clinch the Ivy League crown this year.

Meanwhile, many Harvard athletes have been taking to Twitter this week, especially underclassmen and men’s lacrosse players. Here are some of our favorites here at The Back Page from the past week!

6. Most freshmen decide how to set up their rooms during Opening Week, but Maggie Hartman, a forward for the basketball team, took a little longer to make an important decision.

“JUST UNBUNKED MY BUNK BED, life has improved exponentially :-D:-D:-D”

One downside…a lot less space to do activities.

5. Bryan Moore, a sophomore goalie for the men’s lacrosse team, had to be upset with the amount of electricity that Sox fans brought to the ballpark on Wednesday night.

“All the Cards need right now is a power outage in Fenway to spark their comeback.”

Fenway has been around for over a century and no power issues yet. Take notes, Detroit.

4. A valuable lesson can be learned from a situation that Sydney Daniels, a freshman forward for the women’s hockey team, was recently involved in.

“To the man I just gave completely faulty directions to, I'm sorry. You're probs going the wrong way, but enjoy your walk along the Charles?”

Never take directions from a freshman.

3. It’s not lacrosse season yet, but sophomore defenseman Stephen Jahelka is already beginning to get competitive.

“Coming out victorious in The Battle for the Mutually Shared Arm Rest in lecture with the kid next to me is one of the bigger W's I have had.”

Needless to say, it was a demoralizing loss for his opponent.

2. Tyler Grimaldi, a freshman on the wrestling team, got his first taste of Halloween at Harvard this year.

“Spending Halloween like a true Harvard student, in the library…”

Do Harvard students ever don nerd costumes for Halloween? The irony…

1. The only upperclassmen on our list, Danny Eipp, a senior midfielder for the lacrosse team, has likely seen far more at Harvard than his preceding counterparts. However, prior to last week, he certainly had not seen it all…

“Bringing your book to read at the urinal is too much. ‪#doless”

And this is what Harvard looks for when filling its classes every year: students full of ambition and capable of multitasking. This generation at its finest.
