Outside of school, I play Magic: the Gathering competitively and write a lot. Being an Editor-in-Chief, you can contact me with any questions about The Budget. Contact me at [email protected].

Senior Stefan Petrovic poses with a statue of the founder, John Harvard, on the Harvard University campus. Petrovic notes that the right toe of the statue is worn gold due to tradition. “Visitors like to rub it for good luck, but they are often unaware that by the time they graduate, nearly every Harvard undergrad has urinated on the statue, so I chose to not touch the foot,” he said.
