on Morningside Almanac: Week of 2/9 on Return of the Hawkma
I’ve been missing a green notebook for my Evolutionary Basis of Human Behavior (EEEBW4010) class since Feb. 7th. It should have the name Kimberly Young written inside. It was last seen in the Schapiro computer lab. If found, please contact kty2102@columbia.edu
The purse has large red circles on it, and contained an ID card, keys, wallet, pink headphones, Metrocard, and other important things. Last seen in Schermerhorn 614. If found, please contact rdc2125@barnard.edu
Hi, I’m missing a black LL Bean Backpack, last seen in the lounge of Broadway 12 during the Super Bowl. It’s black, with the initials “BCB,” embossed in grey. It contains an Apple laptop and several important books. If found, contact bcb2131@columbia.edu.
I lost a Lion Laundry bag full of gym items. Contact sac2171.
Black puffy coat with two layers and Burberry plaid pattern on lining. Last seen at Lerner Party Space during Black Students Organization (BSO) party on January 20. Please contact jyc2130@columbia.edu if found. Reward offered.
Yellowish ivory scarf with a lot of print on it. Most likely to be found at 504 Diana or LRC SIPA. If found then you shall be rewarded with my eternal gratitude. Contact: an2503@barnard.edu
Last seen in the Hartley computer lab at around 9 am, on 1/30/12. No case; no password; background is a generic picture of a rower on a lake. About 2 years old and showing its wear. Contact: etp2109.
Last seen at Il Cibreo on January 19 around 1am. It’s beige cashmere with unique colors which complete the original burberry pattern. If you took it by accident please contact aln2133@columbia.edu. If you took it because you like it, not cool.
I lost my umbrella today in Schermerhorn 612. I had class until 12:15, went back tonight around 6 pm, and it was gone. It is Paris themed, so it has the eiffel tower, arc du trimpuh etc. Email lgg2110@barnard.edu.Thanks!

your life is f*cked!
Congratulations! Now, get ready for the 5 stages of Columbia:
1) Enthusiasm
2) Frustration
3) Disillusionment
4) Resignation
5) Estrangement
Enjoy the next four years!
that is quite an accurate description of columbia. i’m impressed!
you forgot to mention the post-graduation nostalgia though, when less than 6 months out of college, you willfully forget all the torturous moments of your time at columbia, and convince yourself it was all daisy-drops in candyland in a desperate attempt to stay in the college mindset forever. yay!
to my free brainwashing from the alumni association.
all within the first week!
people read bwog who don’t go here?
Yep. I’ve been reading this site since I was a freshman.
a life…
you are what–16—-again, get a life.
alright, ease up coolio (…you’re what, 18-23?) – let the kid fall in love with this place in whatever way he/she wants.
advice:
2015er, the ballpark of what the guy above me is trying to say in his own dickish way, is to make some time to enjoy high school amidst your college-fantasizing/studying. college can be great, but hs doesn’t just need to be a means to getting to your dream school… plus if you get away from the books for a bit you can get a little practice in for all of the sex, drugs, and, of course, rock and roll that you’ll be enjoying in college (… amidst a shit-ton of studying). And by taking some chances now, you’ll be way ahead of the social curve at a nerdy school like ours (again, set pretty low by people like the aforementioned prick)
Cheers
Eh, no worries. I have a life. I just have a deep respect for the school and I want to get as much info as I can. Thanks for the advice. At least you weren’t being a rude little prick. Its much appreciated.
does anyone here like animal collective? I can’t wait to see some sick shows in the city finally… no one back home likes my music and even if they did i wouldn’t be able to see anything
OMG YES SHITTTT
have you ever read pitchfork? that shit is sick!
gonna be in brooklyn alllllllll the time! haha
a/s/l?
animal collective is pretty huge these days. I mean, they’re no switchfoot, but regular non-hipster folk listen to them, y’know?
I dont know what you guys are all talking about, but I can’t wait to come to Columbia and see Old Men! finally some sick shows! I hear they’re getting pretty huge today (they’re no Liturgy, though) and regular non-metal folk go to their frat shows, but dang, no one back home likes my noise. DGAF mom and dad!
I heard they’re playing at ding dong lounge tonight, gonna be in there alllllllll the time!
a/s/l guys? d/t/f?
this is a perfect description!
you spelled Rhodes wrong.
woops, that was supposed to be a reply to the post below.
So enthusiastic! They don’t even know! They’re reading bwog and they’re 15! They can’t wait to “see some sick shows.” Was anyone ever so young and innocent?
Soon you will read bwog only when you have a 15 page paper due in the morning. Fifty percent of the people you meet on campus will probably be judgmental jerks who think they’re better/smarter/more successful than you. You will never be able to work as hard as the machine who naps in place during a 20-hour work session in which she complete two 35-page papers. Or the Rhoades scholar who deworms Somalian orphans while curing cancer and publishing “Tapping a Vermont Maple on a Cold Winter Morning.” Columbia will take all your money and your self worth. Then you will spend a year being an unpaid intern with your worthless liberal arts degree before begging Columbia to take you back for grad school.
But, it is better than high school.
These kids make me feel old and jaded…
Also, why can’t they enjoy their high school teenage freedom and are instead reading this? God knows, if I had consistently read Bwog before applying here, I would have thought it was a depressing hellhole (which it can be).
pretty sure there are no actual 2014ers in this thread, just a bunch of sexually depraved bored at butler refugees.
they have to be trolls.
I’ve been reading this site since last year. And it DOES make Columbia seem like a depressing hellhole.
But that’s exactly why I applied! And I’m happy to be joining you cynical jerks next year. :) As my grandfather in China said to me on the phone today, “Where thar is wheel, thar is weigh!!”
AMEN
BWOG COMMENTERS ARE SOOOO NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEOPLE YOU WILL MEET AT COLUMBIA!
You will love it here….get excited!
You’ll love to hate it here!
stop trying to make it sound good for the children. you know most columbians actually ARE cynical assholes.
Isn’t being cynical about the cynicism of others some sort of circular, self fulfilling logic or an infinitely recursive loop that will doom us all?
rejected! woot!
