Section H Bonding
When we go to class and see all of the button-down, blue shirts, we realize that we’re in business school. I counted 23 one day. “A serious place for serious students” as Professor Khurana says. We use words like “throughput time” and “gross margin,” terms I’d never used before I came here. Then, a couple… Continue reading Section H Bonding

Why I Wear a Bike Helmet
Many HBS students have bicycles and ride them to class regularly–I know this because I’m always fighting with the rest of you for those prime bike rack spots in front of Aldrich. Many HBS students also don’t wear bike helmets–I know this because I can see it with my own two eyes. I would like… Continue reading Why I Wear a Bike Helmet

This success starts with a uniquely talented team of writers. Up Side Story chose to describe the adventures of John Deere… Continue reading Up Side Story: An Amazing Performance
Conversation Non-Starters
I wouldn’t have thought this was necessary, but given the conversations I’ve been forced to endure over the last week, I’ve decided “That Guy” must once again boldly mix sports metaphors and step up to the plate to tackle an important issue: inane HBS conversation topics. Regardless of what you may think, all conversation topics… Continue reading Conversation Non-Starters

Coffee will not help, you’re going to have to resort to some serious Advil and possibly wearing sunglasses in glass. If you’re on Skydeck, you may be able to grab a nap… Continue reading Doctor, doctor
