@the first Teach For America deadline is tonight! Apply now! teachforamerica.org
@seriously everyone who’s anyone knows about these events. you’re not special.
@yah Is it bad that I first read that as “black and palin”??
@wow someone is obviously really insecure. sorry that your one source to coolness, knowing the “in” spots, is becoming well-known.
@uhhh what’s wrong with “pallid” skin, hmm? fair skin all the way!
@You guys literally ruin everything. I tell one person about a cool event and you tell everyone when you have no plans about really attending. Guys, are you depressed? What are your motives behind asserting your dominance over other people. Can’t we just enjoy the weekends together? No, we can’t. You must take the plans of others and act as if you’ve known about it all along. It really helps that the event is a niche event, so most people don’t know what it is, and you offer no explanation. I’m glad we can all feel better about the bwog staff thinking they know the “fun” things to do in nyc, when in reality they only leave campus for sure things. I feel odd in that I’m sure I know more hipster spots in NYC than the actual hipsters at columbia. Well, enjoy not knowing what you’re endorsing. Cheers, and seriously loosen up.
@uhh what?
@after nature was fucked up.
