What can FIPpers talk to you about?

Anything! Whether it's something big like homesickness, identity, or feeling out of place, or something small like where to get a haircut or how to use your BoardPlus, I'm always happy to chat, listen, or sit with you if you need company. I'm here whether you want to unpack a tough day, laugh about a cultural misunderstanding, or rant about how confusing Harvard Wi-Fi is.

About me:

Hey! I’m Victor, a rising sophomore in Eliot. I’m planning to concentrate in Economics and Statistics, but honestly, still exploring and figuring things out as I go. Coming to Harvard was full of firsts—first long-haul flight, first winter, and first time trying to understand American small talk. On campus, I spend my time doing a mix of things, but what I really enjoy are the little, unplanned moments that make Harvard feel more like home—late-night walks, chill dining hall conversations, or even just running into someone I know on the way to class. If you ever want to talk about adjusting to college, cultural identity, where to find free food, or whether How I Met Your Mother’s ending was actually good (yes, I’ll die on that hill), I’m around. Super excited to meet all of you!
