Results

Mostly A’s: Dhall meal buddy

90 percent of the time we spend together involves us inhaling food during the 20 minute slot of free time that lined up on our GCals, but we’re so glad to have you in our corner. You’re an amazing listener and someone who uplifts every one us with your ability to see the best in everything — even HUDS food.

Mostly B’s: Pset buddy

You’re super dependable and always ready to help someone in need/anguish/the very serious, soul-crushing pain caused by the very real sickness of being a (Harvard) student. An academic weapon with a heart of gold.

Mostly C’s: Blockmate

You’re someone who makes the people closest to you think, “If friends were flowers I’d pick you first.” You’re oh-so-nosey and a bit overinvested in our love lives, but also so, so loved, and if there’s anyone we want by our side during our everyday crises, it’s you.

Mostly D’s: Sneaky link

You won’t let yourself be loved, but, tough luck, we want to see more of you. We might need to invest three psets-worth of energy to find you, but every moment with you is one to cherish.

Mostly E’s: Remy’s Go-To

You’re Remy’s favorite, and we’re so jealous but know that it’s well deserved. You’re the perfect mix of comforting and unpredictable, and time with you is sure to be a blast.
