A lot people don’t realize that “Remy” the cat is actually three different cats that all look fairly similar. This isn’t a conspiracy, just a fact—look it up.

Harvard

If true, then why haven’t I seen more than one Remy at a time 🤨

my coworker goes to yale and won’t stop calling harvard “shmarvard”… any ideas how to make him stop?

Just don’t engage, people only make fun of you for a reaction lol (no reaction is the best reaction)

“Why are u so obsessed w my school… I guess u didn’t get in 🤷🏽‍♀️”

“Yeah, you want to see the acceptance letter”

Did they also get into Harvard and Yale or did you? You can make it about having the ability to have choice.

He wouldn’t know because he definitely hasn’t read Shakespeare

Controversial take, but people here drop friendships over the smallest issues. No one wants to talk it out or put in effort. As an international, who was taught to fight for relationships, this feels wild to me.

Just got my first job, and they didn’t even ask to look at my transcript. 4 years of stress over my gpa and turns out it didn’t matter whatsoever😃

Yeah. People here are living in a bubble. Your gpa matters only for grad schools

Only grad, law, or med school. Anything else is irrelevant.

and even then that matters significantly less with each year of experience you attain

What do you mean it’s the class of 2029

whatever happened to men who yearn. need one of those

I got called Harvard for the first time in my life

Don't let your worth get tied to the name.

Throwback to the time when my mom couldn’t afford the books required for some of my classes, so I used to borrow them from another kid for a day and give them to my mom so she print them at her job for free

Aww baby 🥹 and look at you! You made it to college and inspiring so many others

Couldve used libgen — still breaking the law — this feels performative

and why do you care? your comment is performative.

Anyone ever been pregnant then aborted? Need help. DM

I did. It was a few bills and it felt like a period. And that was it. I was week 6 tho

There's a planned Parenthood on BU campus and the staff there is very nice and understanding. Very simple process if you're early enough along for the pill. It's more emotional labor than it is physically painful as the process can be difficult to go through

When all of a sudden I hear this agitating, grating voice

Why is it emotionally taxing do you think?

I spent the last 20 years being depressed and insecure and now I’m realizing how much of my life I wasted

My love, you’re at Harvard. You did not waste these 20 years. You did the best with the hand you were given. Now it’s time to flip the table if you must and head into the summer and next year with power.

Time is like a river, can’t waste it because you can’t control it

for me, the funniest part is thinking you will get your first choice of expos

Its a cannon event for freshman to be way too ambitious in course selections bc they’re used to pushing themselves in HS and get BRUTALLY humbled freshman fall 🪓

Hey I mean, as someone who is not into this stuff at all, I knew people who were like this as freshman and they grinded their way to $80K+ summer internships… so to each their own :P if you have the grit, skills, and are willing to put in the time, this kind of ambition can get people far (relative to their own goals)

Who typed this shit out and posted it on sidechat lmao

it’s a Reddit post but I cropped the user out

This is tangential though, I get that these people can be pretty obnoxious (and obviously quant is not end all be all), but the kid is asking questions that do actually have helpful answers. We shouldn’t have double standards when it comes to prefrosh (nice to the ones who want to take easier classes, mocking to the ones who want to move faster)

oh really? genuinely curious can you explain (+ why you chose ramroon)

If you meant ريميّة, adding the ة at the end makes it sound feminine, so as a native I’d assume it’s a girl’s name. But if you meant ريميه, adding a ه (h) at the end, it sounds more French, like “Reméah,” and could work in Lebanon, Tunisia, Morocco, or any country influenced by French. Maybe ‘ramrom’ isn’t ideal, but ‘ريم’ (‘Reem’) itself is a common Arabic girl’s name

it means ‘Rhim gazelle.’ Lots of Arabic poets praised the Rhim gazelle for its beautiful big black eyes, which are traditionally admired in Arab culture. Usually, the name ‘Remy’ is shortened to nicknames like ‘roro,’ ‘ramrom,’ ‘rere,’ or ‘rori,’ which is why I went for one of those. But if you just want a direct transliteration, it’s رِمْي or ريمْي

gotcha! meant it with ه as written, not with the feminine taa marbuta, since i was taught at some point names don’t tend to end w long ي sound, and adding a ه is more natural. did also learn in morocco though—didn’t realize you could hear it out like that.

and thanks for the extra cultural explanation!

Can anyone recommend the gemmiest of gems class please. One of my courses got canceled and now I’m just tryna find any class atp since I’ve done almost all of my requirements 😭🙏🙇‍♀️

Thinking of course reg first week of July is sad to hear ☹️

Am I the only one who feels that no one at Harvard is willing to compliment each other for their intelligence, competence, or success? I know it can’t just be because Harvard kids are better bc cracked ppl on the West Coast do it all the time

Can you expand on what you mean? All my friends and myself compliment and praise each other for their academic achievements (and any others) and I haven't really met people not nice enough to pay a compliment to an accomplishment

Every time i dont give the “omg no im not” answer to a compliment i get side eyed like crazy lol
