The Noshoes Verdict: The New Harvard Snapchat Geofilter



I've always received Snapchats from my friends at BC and BU with their own Snapchat geofilters, and wondered why we never had one ourselves (literally, the tourists who pose with their selfie sticks all over the Yard would go insane over that).
Honestly, though. Itâs about time, Harvard. I have snapped far too long photos of me on campus, worrying that my snapfriends wonât know that I go to Harvard. I can take a selfie with John Harvard, or Amy Poehler, or Chris Pratt, but am I really at Harvard if I donât have a geofilter that gleams my schoolâs name in a beautiful cursive font?
This is just the beginning of a revolution as I see it. Though I will never get over not being able to see peopleâs best friends on Snapchat (aka Iâm not up-to-date about whoâs hooking up with whom), this geofilter game on Snapchat could get really real. Even though I canât currently find the beautiful Harvard geofilter that I so admired last night, maybe that cursive Harvard will make a comeback, or better yet, maybe an even better cursive Harvard will compete. And, not to make any promises, but I have heard whispers of different clubs on campuses making their own geofilters. Regardless, a girl can always dream. Until then, I will keep swiping right on my snaps until I regain a geofilter, just as I would swipe right a million times if I saw myself on Tinder.
