When is Harvard Streaking Day and when did this tradition start?

If you have watched the American movie "Love Story", you should be deeply impressed by the hard work of Harvard students in their studies. The unruly Harvard students have invented their own way to relieve stress. Streaking on campus before final exams twice a year is their most unique and exaggerated way to relax.

It is impossible to trace the year when streaking on campus began. It is held in Harvard YARD every May and December on the eve of semester exams. It is a completely voluntary game for students to vent their emotions. The winter in Boston is extremely cold. It starts to snow in late October, and the temperature is almost minus 10 degrees around Christmas. Streaking on campus in winter is an almost cruel game that requires courage and perseverance. Of course, this scene is even more exciting. More attractive.

On the eve of the exam that year, the temperature dropped sharply. We huddled in the air-conditioned room of the apartment and did not dare to go out. We wondered if anyone would participate in streaking this year. We took off our clothes on campus at midnight at minus ten or twenty degrees Celsius. If you run inside, you will have to freeze to death! At about 11 o'clock at night, I asked my friend to drive across the river to see what was going on.

The closer I drove to Harvard YARD, the more excited I became, because I saw some students walking towards the YARD. Apparently, the streaking at 12 o'clock at night was going on as usual as in previous years, and there were not a few people participating.

The Harvard YARD is brightly lit, and there are more and more people in the courtyard. The school flag is planted in front of the Harvard bronze statue. The members of the school band stand in front and play the Harvard school song. Brave classmates are already standing in the dormitory building. He drank vodka vigorously beforehand, firstly to ward off the cold, and secondly to inspire the spirit of a warrior.

At 12 midnight, streaking officially begins! There were very few students who participated in streaking at the beginning, and they were a little shy. They used small accessories to cover their key parts. Suddenly, the college radio station started playing exciting music, deafening. The power of music is infinite, and the power of role models is even more infinite. More and more people began to take off their clothes at the school gate, eager to give it a try. More students ran into the field, and some female students also joined the streaking team, gradually forming a streaking team with hundreds or thousands of people surrounding the campus for a full week. The streaking classmates became much calmer and showed off without any scruples. themselves, as if they were a group of natural people running in the wilderness.

Both boys and girls were all naked. Some of them greeted us while running and made faces at us, not afraid of the cameras in our hands. Strangely enough, I didn't feel any embarrassment or embarrassment at all. Instead, I looked at these students with admiration for their willful youth.

Harvard YARD is not big, and it only takes a few minutes to run around. Some men are still doing business, competing naked on the cold snow to do push-ups. Other students put on their coats one after another, and the sky above Harvard begins Playing the Russian march, an excited boy wearing a big velvet hat and a coat climbed onto the small platform on the second floor and shouted to the students below. You might find the scene of the Russian October Revolution!

A group of passionate young people express their youthful enthusiasm by running naked - you may think it is ridiculous, but I feel the unstoppable passion! Crazy but cute. Apart from this age in your life, where else can you witness such a passionate youth except at Harvard?
