STORY TIME OF WHAT MADE ME LOVE HARVARD

So…after falling in love with Harvard Bookstore, as one does, I started to make my way toward the campus Starbucks. I was currently reading my new purchase Finding Schrodinger’s Kittens, when I was called up to place my order.

Me: “I’ll have a latte.”
Barista: “Sure! What’s your name?”
Me: “Me–wait. Schrodinger’s Cat. Yeah. That’s my name.”

The barista gives me the funniest look, smiles, and writes something on the cup. I proceed to wait for my drink to arrive. After an excruciating 3 minutes, my name is called.

“Uh…Schrodinger’s Cat?”

Book in hand, I proceed to get my drink. The barista smiles at me. I began to examine the cup. It said…
“Schrodinger’s Cat…or not.” around the sides of my coffee cup.
At that moment, I knew that I would be very, VERY happy at Harvard.

(I still have the cup. It serves as a bookmark holder.)

@tuty143 thanks for the info! Just check both places and no decision yet… Maybe one will come soon!

my 300th post ^^^ Celebrate good times, c’mon

GUYS, serious question. Does harvard save every email you send to them in their file? I mean, their email IS a file room address. I’ve been wondering that for a while because they told me they automatically saved an email I sent that explained a correction to my GPA, but then again, I forewarned for that particular one and there was an automatic reply. For another email I sent, there was no automatic reply.

@schroscat thats literally the cutest thing saving the cup, thats such a cool memory

@smollhuman i believe anything u send to fileroom@fas is automatically printed out & considered with your app

@Jinxxx @Kyuutoryuu Nope! I live in New York, haha. I just talk a lot about Turkey because:
a) my family is SUPER weird so we have great memories
b) Who doesn’t want to talk about the country that everyone eats for Thanksgiving???
Sorry for the confusion! :slight_smile:

@giraffeinatree I’m from New York, Turkey, Narnia, Hogwarts. In that order. I have a bunch of language tests to study for. It sucks.
The cup is honestly my favorite thing. The book, unfortunately, got in the hands of my physics teacher, and I have not seen it since :frowning:

@schroscat Hahahahaha that’s awesome

I have two 5+ page papers due tomorrow morning and I still have to start both of them. That, my friends, is senioritis lololol

@Pernix Always judge the quality of a school with their coffee locations

@pubkid I liked Duke because it is in a really nice part of North Carolina and has amazing Econ. Plus, when I went there everybody was very nice and open to students visiting. Amazing basketball if you care about that.

I could never understand why people like coffee

@pioneer16 ouch xD

@Jinxxx Caffeine is a great thing when you’re a fellow sleep-aholic.

@pioneer16 CAN I WRITE YOUR PAPER

@Jinxxx coffee is the life-blood that drives the dreams of champions
