Tweets of the Week - October 11

At last! Round one of midterms is finally coming to a close, so stand up and give yourself a big pat on the back! We at The Back Page understand that these past few days have certainly been trying times. For example, we know that you probably had to deal with your friends and peers going slightly insane for the first time last week. In fact, you likely saw many of them passed out over their books in some of the strangest locations imaginable. The scariest part about the whole week though is that there is a pretty good chance that you were one of these people as well!

Nevertheless, do not worry! You were not alone in your struggle. Besides, you made it to the finish line, and consequently, The Back Page has another reward for you: another installment of Tweets of the Week! Here are our favorite tweets from Harvard athletes who were able to find a break from studying to digress through social media.

4. Continuing with the theme of midterms, junior basketball player Jonah Travis will certainly tell you that our rant was accurate.

“You know its midterm week when you see someone add Red Bull to their drink at 2am #itsthatserious”

Only 2 a.m.? Must have been a freshman.

3. Freshman basketball player Matt Fraschilla returns to our list this week with a metaphor he decided to share on Sunday.

“Peyton manning is to an NFL team what Woody was to the group of toys in Toy Story. ‪#fieldgeneral”

This analogy is simply too perfect. They’re both leaders, they both came back from injuries, and they both even have deals with pizza places (Pizza Planet and Papa Johns)! English teachers everywhere salute you Matt.

2. T.J. Laurisch, a sophomore baseball player, has a question that we would like to help him out with.

“Why is there a petting zoo here? #UnansweredQuestions”

Let’s think. If a rising high school senior is considering one college that has a petting zoo and one college that does not, is it really a question which one he is going to choose in the end? The perks of a large endowment fund…Thanks Harvard. #AnsweredQuestion

1. Junior punter for the football team David Bicknell sounds like he is proud to call Cambridge home.

“I just saw a dog that had actual dreads as his hair. Not his whole body but on his head like a person. Dread head dog roamin round Cambridge”

Looks like we have our first Snoop Dogg sighting in Cambridge. #snoop-a-loop
