Join us in bed as we bemoan the existence of Sunday finals/try to eat an everything bagel without spilling poppyseeds into our bedding (spoiler alert: it’s impossible).
Bwogline: We’re a little late in the game to report that a GS alum handed out $50 bills to current students on Friday, in a random act of kindness. Many thanks—or more aptly, a fist bump—to Reddit user “Niiccce” for bringing it to our attention (and for reminding the Columbia community that Flex isn’t the only type of free money).
Finals tip: It’s never too late to make a lasting impression on your professors—email them every couple days asking to reschedule your exam. Don’t be shy; add a winking emoticon.

Stressbustyourself: Deep breathing can calm your body and soothe your mind. Close your eyes and take a deep breath in, focusing your attention on your diaphragm moving down and out. Breathe in for four counts, hold for two, and exhale for five counts. Repeat until you feel calmness and energy.
Overheard: Two students talking shop, outside of Carman:
Girl 1: Yeah, she took like 2 five hour energies and then she just kept doing shots.
Girl 2: Woah. That’s like old FourLoko.

@Anonymous WHY IS IT SUNDAY ALREADY?! WHERE DID ALL MY STUDY TIME GO???
@thanks but THAT’S DEFINITELY TRUE! slipped my mind – I was definitely thinking about my own empty pockets. my parents are poooooor and I’m completely on aid. no money. at. all. I do not go out anymore. Not begrudgin’ the GS students their little moment of happiness here. but you can be grumpy if ya want, I guess.
@Anonymous Instead of getting into a dick-measuring contest about who needs the kindness of strangers the most, we could just be thankful that people like this masked benefactor still exist in the world, assume that whoever got the money truly needed it and will put it to good use, and leave it at that.
@Anonymous agreed. you whipped yours out first, man.
@10 blocks north? or maybe to the poor college students who haven’t established themselves yet. bet you ten bucks GS students have more money saved/earn more than us CC’ers.
I mean…I would if I even had ten dollars, man.
@Anonymous Mommy and daddy are still paying for most of us CC-ers; not everyone is lucky enough to have such a reliable support system. Not to ignore the noble plight of the impoverished college student or anything, but you were probably going to buy an extra few margaritas at the Heights with that money; others may actually have a better use for it. In the spirit of the holidays, if nothing else, try thinking about someone other than yourself.
@Anonymous I don’t want to be that guy… but I feel like that money would have been way more appreciated if he just walked ten blocks north before handing out all that money.
@shut up douche
@Anonymous agreed. Though he may have gotten robbed before being able to finish his hand outs.
@i sometimes wonder if the overheards are even real.
@Anonymous I feel that this is usually the case, but I can personally vouch for this one.
