What’s your favorite thing to do at Harvard? Sleep, procrastinate and a whole lotta theatre (often all at the same time).

What made you decide to study abroad (in Paris, France for the spring semester)? I’ve wanted to do it pretty much as long as I can remember. I love the city and I adore the language. I’ve been studying French for 10 years now and my spoken French is quite frankly shameful, so I really want to take the chance to really force myself to speak it. Also I get to drop a gen-ed.
 
What are you most looking forward to in Paris? CHOCOLATE SCENTED FARTS
