Easy to picture this man with a dog, right?

Whether you spent this weekend out & about with your family, drunk and clad in Columbia gear for the first time this year, or both, there was a lot happening around the Columbia bubble. Though you won’t have to be proving to your parents that you actually have fun in college next weekend, we as always want to know what went down over the weekend at tips@bwog.com. 

Showing the parents how it’s done:

• “Also, my mom came to visit. we ate a lot. she asked me to explain Tinder to her.”
• “Was hanging out with my parents and remembered why I crossed an ocean to go to university (kidding).”
• “Parents came friday night and we discussed what I’m going to do with my life. Saw Les Miserables on Broadway with grandmother on Sunday. Reaffirmed my francophone tendencies.
• “Took the parents downtown for dinner and saw the guy who played Ben Linus on Lost walking his dog in Columbus Circle.”
• “I went and stayed downtown with my mom and brother. We went to the ballet and ate french fries and drank wine and it was awesome.”
• “Went apple picking in the suburbs with my parents, sister, and brother-in-law, and we were the only family there with grown children. But snagged enough large and largely delicious apples to feed an entire residence hall.”

Homecoming 2k14, son: 

• Pre-gaming right: “Listening to Nickleback rn.”
• “Got free shirts from GS, GSAS, and Barnard at homecoming, and I’m not in any of them.”
• “Paid $22 for an all-you-can-eat lunch at the alumni tent at Baker, just to discover that the only vegan thing on the menu was eggplant…lesson learned.”
