There’s free food at the end of this blog post
The other day, I had an epiphany. We’re at a pivotal point in the school year here at Columbia. Housing is ruining friendships and the registrar is ruining careers, seniors are gearing up to graduate and yet even still nearly everyone you run into this weekend will be drunk.
