Seeking Day in the Life Bloggers
I think it would be interesting to see a Harvard undergrad day-in-the-life. I don’t think one quite exists. Yet I think it’s unlikely to exist for several reasons: 1) What’s the motivation to write it, anyways? (for me, it has been a while since I’ve separated personal from public/online life, and my daily activities and frustrations are shared only with those I trust); 2) There’s always that fear that, if it’s good enough (which it’s likely to be, if you try), your professor(s) will stumble on it. And then … what kind of honesty can you have? … not that I haven’t absolutely loved all my classes; 3) It’s time-consuming; 4) Your own image, and all of Harvard’s. I wrote a post on, but did not post, my late-night/early-morning experiences of reading and exam period. If you were to hear the descriptions of what I’ve done, or what others have done, would it change your perception of Harvard …? I don’t want to know, and in all honesty, it might be better better that you hold whatever unsubstantiated stereotype than it is for you to change your mind and point solely to my “day-in-the-life” during reading period as evidence for your new beliefs.
