Your Saturday trip to JJ’s is gonna be so lit.

You know a Facebook event is going to be good when the host puts up a disclaimer: “this is just a joke i am just a bored lady making a joke pls dont arrest me (sic).” Friends and friends of friends and maybe even that weird kid with the wraparound sunglasses in your Orgo class have all been “inviting” you to the event “Hotbox Carman 2k15.” The description of the event reads, verbatim, “In light of a recent event involving the fire dept., everyone blaze the d4nk w33d at the exact same time and we will #HotboxCarman2k15.” It is to take place this Saturday (the 19th) at, of course, 4:20 pm precisely.

There are currently 228 invitees, 102 “going,” and 168 “interested” Columbia students, many of whom haven’t lived in Carman for three years or ever, but that doesn’t matter. It’s the principle of the thing. Even students from other schools are getting in on the act, one West Coaster offering to “bring the #californiakush.”

Is this a sign of Columbia’s reputation changing from a nose-to-the-grindstone-Ivy to a haven for stoners and partiers? Not hardly. More likely, “Hotbox Carman 2k15” is a symptom of a much bigger problem: end-of-semester-burnout. We’re all ready to go home and warm our feet in front of a fiery Yule log but until we can, we’ll settle for burning some other organic material. It’ll sure keep us warm on these freezing cold (60 degree) winter nights. Just kidding, don’t arrest us?
