My, my, my, Section J cleans up nicely. While I saw no one wearing her older sister’s prom dress like I was guilt-tripped into doing in 1991, I certainly was reminded of my prom night oh-so-many years ago. Tuxedoes, cocktail dresses, long flowing gowns-okay we left the corsages, shared limo rides and pictures with our… Continue reading J-Crew Revisits Prom Night

Winter is just a state of mind. Here are a few pictures to remind us of those hot and humid days.
OB Still Going Strong
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. That is what I’m banking on because, although I’ve been guilted into writing another one of my fabulous section articles, I’m pretty short on time (that should read, I don’t have a job, so I can’t justify taking time out to write a Harbus article). So,… Continue reading OB Still Going Strong
Viewpoints: And Why Do They Call it Consulting?
It was when I drew a Venn diagram to illustrate to my husband how the Harvard work/life balance worked that I realized that you can take the girl out of consulting but you can’t take the consultant out of the girl. My husband was impressed by the diagram. He was less impressed when I told… Continue reading Viewpoints: And Why Do They Call it Consulting?

Generous, Cultured, Good-Looking, What More Could You Ask For?
The J-Crew continues to thrive in Aldrich 109. Ella Aglipay continues to serve up a bevy of cultural activities with Friday’s Traditional Dress Day and ongoing lunches.

J-Crew Wreaks Havoc on Vermont
What was my favorite moment during the J-Crew ski weekend? Summit views? Wind in my hair as I descended the mountain? The serenity of the pines as we ascended the lifts? The camaraderie of the condo party experience? The roadtrip-inspired sense of freedom and adventure? No, it was watching Rami Shamaa snarfle two quarter pounders,… Continue reading J-Crew Wreaks Havoc on Vermont
Websites 101:
Last year, all the RC students were required to make a website in TOM. For some reason, the TOM faculty elected to remove the requirement (probably to introduce something more practical like The Beer-Game Exercise). At the request of my sectionmates and to fill this gap in our MBA educational experience, I began running Web… Continue reading Websites 101:

The Intraview's Post Game Interview
Me ‘n’ Her Goldie: You mentioned in your article that I described Lincoln as a total hottie. Although I do not specifically remember this, it sounds like something I would say. But I’d just like to point out that I am a truth-teller. Tell me, did I tell you anything other than the truth? McClure:… Continue reading The Intraview's Post Game Interview
Weddings at J-Crew, a New Trend?
We are very blessed in Section J. Over the long weekend while many of us were watching videos and eating popcorn or getting down at the poorly attended party at LaBoom, rumors abound of much more exciting endeavors such as ski trips, “I Never” games, family outing, etc. But, this weekend, probably the most exciting… Continue reading Weddings at J-Crew, a New Trend?

Were We Funny?
At last, your misery at the hands of Omar has come to an end. Indeed (which is one of my favorite words), this is my last issue as the editor of the Humor / H-BS / That Guy sections, and I must say, if I may (which I may, because who’s going to stop me?… Continue reading Were We Funny?
RC Student Discovery: What Happens in Vegas, Doesn't Actually Stay in Vegas
(Nevada) The magic of the HBS learning experience took another dimension last week, when some RC students discovered that, contrary to popular belief, what happens in Vegas doesn’t actually stay in Vegas. “Who’d have thought that my ‘new best friends’ in my section would kid about something like this?” nervously said one RC student that… Continue reading RC Student Discovery: What Happens in Vegas, Doesn't Actually Stay in Vegas
How Much Difference
It is a phenomenon that, by now, should be well known. Still early in the reading, your eyes complete the last words on Page One of whatever case the evening brings. You have become acquainted with what the protagonist had for breakfast (a bagel with jam and peanut butter), know whether or not she is… Continue reading How Much Difference
We Didn't Know
When doors were finally opened and we entered SecC (Sex-ta-C? I am sorry, President Alex, I am sorry!), with our brand new name-cards, we, simply, didn’t know. We didn’t know many people, we didn’t know much about cases, we didn’t know the feeling of cold calls… we didn’t know a thing. Then, we started learning.… Continue reading We Didn't Know

Gone are the Days of Smarties and Raisins
Am I cheap, or have things really changed since I was a kid? I remember my greatest Halloween haul. Dressed as a soldier, I started out at 5 p.m. and trick or treated, sprinting from home to home, until around 9 p.m. I ended up with half a pillowcase of candy. I probably had to… Continue reading Gone are the Days of Smarties and Raisins
