Are you witty? Funny (be honest now….)? A serial Sidechat user? Want a great community of people to laugh and eat Trader Joe's snacks with? If any of these apply to you, Blog is the place (board?) to be. We cover a variety of content, from how-to guides to rants about which House gives “brat” energy to social experiments like cosplaying as a Harvard tourist – no topic is too niche or unserious in our eyes. With content this diverse and (more importantly) fun, Blog is one of the most well-read sections of The Crimson, and our posts have been picked up by multiple national and international news outlets. Last year, we were even nominated for best Blog by the Associated College Press!

Flyby is the flagship blog of the Crimson and covers student life — we follow all things happening on campus, from Housing Day to Visitas (on campus or online!), and allow you to write about what most interests you, whether it be HUDS, your Blank Street addiction, or bush jumping!

Whatever your interests (journalism, humor, or more), Blog will give you the space, training, and support to develop your own creative passions at 14p and make The Crimson your second home.

Requirements:

Yay if you've made it this far! Here's what you'll need to do during the comp process to join the Blog:

• Write a total of 6 posts over the semester:
• 1 Collaborative Piece
• 1 Investigative Piece
• 1 Social Media Post
• 3 pieces of Your Choosing :)
• Attend weekly comp meetings
• Attend at least one office hours appointment every week

If writing six pieces sounds intimidating, don't fret! We (Wyatt + Ava) are super stoked to be working with our compers to develop their pieces from their inception all the way through when they are published and raved about on Sidechat. Rest assured, comping Flyby will be a stress-free and enjoyable experience.

If you're looking for a real ~family~ on campus, look no further. Ask anyone in Flyby (or in The Crimson, for that matter!) and they'll tell you how amazing our Flyfam is, with socials ranging from cute get-togethers with board-games to end-of-semester dinners.

Any questions? Want more information? Don’t hesitate to contact our Blog Comp Directors, Ava H. Rem (ava.rem@thecrimson.com) and Wyatt G Croog (wyatt.croog@thecrimson.com), with any and all questions, concerns, and/or your favorite Trader Joe's snack. Hope to see you this semester!
