Harvard Today: April 21, 2015

Happy Tuesday, Harvard! Only seven more days of classes; hang in there! That’s one week of spending all of section in the back row on Facebook, skipping lecture because you’re sure you will watch it online before the final, and finishing a pset right as you’re supposed to be turning it in. It is definitely that point in the semester, but we can make this one final push to the end.
