Are you for Ce-Real?: HUDS’ Best and Worst Cereals
For those of us who need a reprieve from red chicken and turkey burgers, or simply do not want to stand in line for a bagel at brain break (seriously—it shouldn’t take an hour for you to put cream cheese on your bagel, people...), HUDS’ cereals are a shining beacon of hope for the hungry.

What exactly are these Frosted Mini Spooners? Will Optimum Power really give me the power I need to finish this CS50 problem set?

The Five-and-a-Half Types of Teaching Fellows You’ll Have At Harvard
Remember when you used to dream about going to Harvard? About eating in Annenberg, living in a beautiful, bell-towered House on the river, and learning from Nobel Prize-winning professors? Now that you’ve been here a while, you’ve no doubt learned that (spoiler alert) Annenberg isn’t actually Hogwarts, that the River Houses have cockroaches, and that you’ll spend as much time learning from graduate students as you do from the likes of Karplus and Mankiw. But never fear, Harvard TFs tend to be amazing—and just as diverse as Harvard students. Here are the five-and-a-half types of teaching fellows you’ll have at Harvard:
HUDS? TF? HCCG? What Harvard Acronyms Mean to Outsiders
From HCCG to TF to HUDS, Harvard students might as well speak in acronyms. We ventured into Harvard Square to ask some passersby what they thought some of these commonly-used phrases meant.
