Fall has come to Harvard Yard and you know what that means—Halloween! An excuse to wear whatever costume you please and to gorge yourself on candy. Speaking of candy, if you’re going trick-or-treating to make up for the childhood you lost studying, the one candy that you should make sure to receive is candy corn.

As much as every Harvard student loves the dining services, sometimes it’s nice—okay, necessary—to venture beyond the cafeterias and enjoy Cambridge’s culinary offerings. I certainly need breaks from my Annenberg meals and am always eager to go into the Square for food. Here are some of my recommendations and favorite spots for quick meals beyond HUDS:', [])

Last weekend, I woke up to some devastating news: numerous sources reported rumors that Prince Harry is either secretly engaged or will be engaged to Cressida Bonas within the next year. Tasked with a heavy day of studying for midterms ahead of me, I found myself brainstorming ways to break the couple up. My plan was always you, Prince Harry. So, Prince Harry, if you’re reading this, here are a few reasons that you should be marrying a Harvard girl (I’m not saying it has to be me, but it definitely could be...):', [])
It’s one o’clock in the afternoon. You had a long morning full of classes, but that’s over now. Congratulations, you made it to lunch, the best part of your day. Up the stairs and through the doors, swipe that HUID and you’re in the d-hall. You see some friends saving a spot at a table so you throw your backpack down, pick up your cutlery, and proceed to the buffet. The only obstacles in between you and a perfect lunch are a few of Harvard’s most pressing first-world problems.', [])

This week, Buzzfeed came out with a list of “19 Things You Can’t Say Without Sounding Like A Tool,” and, surprise, surprise, “I go to Harvard” made it. Flyby came up with 10 additional oh-so-typical Harvard phrases that make you sound like even more of a tool among tools.

First off, you should go. Otherwise, you are making the biggest mistake of your existence. It doesn’t matter how much (or how little) you know about rowing. Whether you’re a rowing snob or haven’t so much as sat on an erg (that’s a rowing machine, landlubbers), you should go. There is something incredibly exciting and energizing about most regattas, but the Charles is the one that even the best rowers have dreams about.', [])
Amazing things are happening at Harvard every day. Our chemistry professors are casually winning Nobel Prizes. Malala Yousafzai came to speak last month in support of women’s education. Celebrities are regularly visiting campus. Recently, we were graced by the presence of none other than the YouTube sensation Da’Quan. A University of Michigan alum whose real name is\xa0Lucas Brody, Da\'Quan now travels around the country making mischief and wreaking havoc on college campuses.', [])

At Harvard, it’s pretty easy to lose track of when you last slept, showered, or ate. In an ideal world, you would wake up from a nap at Lamont and make the big realization, “That’s it, I’m done! I’m going to actually take care of myself!” though it’s more likely that you’ll just head to the café for another coffee and a cookie. Here are some tips for your life as an adult (or an almost-adult; we’re more like large babies).', [])
So you’ve reached a classic dilemma. It’s time to update your Facebook profile picture, and you don’t know which to choose. We all like to pretend that we change our profile pictures with no deep thought, but really, be honest with yourself. Every picture you’ve ever chosen is trying to send a subtle message about who you’d like the world to think you truly are. Harvard students, you’re probably guilty of at least one of the following—take a look.', [])
While most of us enjoyed extra hours of sleep, food, and revelry on Monday, in the fifteenth century the native Taino people of Hispaniola did not enjoy being enslaved, forcibly converted to Christianity, and wiped out by disease. Yes, brave New World explorer or not, Christopher Columbus was kind of a jerk. In recognition of this fact, several Harvard student groups have lobbied against Harvard’s continuing observance of Columbus Day and advocated for its replacement by the more politically correct “Indigenous Peoples Day.”', [])

The quick and dirty about what\'s been going on around the Ancient Eight.
\r\nPrinceton is notorious for its grade deflation policy, but that may be up for a change—Princeton’s president, Christopher L. Eisgruber, has convened a faculty committee to review the policy, the Daily Princetonian reports. Students won’t sit on the committee, according to the Prince. (Apparently, reviewing a policy governing how students are graded doesn’t require students doing the reviewing.)\xa0', [])
Unless you’ve been living under a rock (or a pile of p-sets in the corner of Lamont), you’ve probably heard that chemistry professor emeritus Martin Karplus just won a Nobel Prize. This, according to The Crimson, was for his innovations in “computer simulations using classical physics and quantum mechanics that could improve scientists’ understanding of complex reactions and the development of new drugs." If you’re anything like us, you’re very impressed, and also have no idea what this actually means. For your benefit, we’ve broken down this scientific jargon into language even Folklore and Mythology concentrators can understand.
\r\nWARNING: The following definitions have been provided by a sarcastic humanities concentrator who has only ever stepped foot in the Science Center to buy chai tea lattés from the Greenhouse Café.
