When will we be free

When will we be free

We thought last week’s field notes would be the last of the semester … We were wrong. We’re still here, we’re still suffering, and despite the fact that we should’ve spent all of last weekend in Butler, we’re still doing cool shit (or dumb shit, depending on your perspective.)

Trying To Do The “Responsible” Thing:

  • Didn’t smoke weed this weekend for first time in months!
  • Got drunk went to Butler to study until 5.30 am it was light out.
  • Unashamedly became a Butler camper for the first time.
  • Said yes to a babysitting job immediately after my orgo final. The mom double checked to see if I was “up for it” because she was the all nighter type in college– I told her I’d be fine. Didn’t tell her I’m also the all nighter type.
  • Memorized about 650 words for Chinese (not exaggeration)
  • Have been using the same reading room with friends for the past few days, which has also been occupied by another friend group: a bunch of blonde, Scandinavian boys all majoring in applied math or fin eng or physics. Have taken creepshots and named all of them. There are literally like 7 of them and there is a revolving cast throughout the day. Planning on taking a pic with them tomorrow to commemorate our relationship of sustained silence.
  • Ordered cookies from Jesus and he gave me free ice cream
  • Finally read the reading my orgo prof handed out the first day of class called “How to Get and A- in Organic Chemistry” two days before the final; the answer was to practice 40 hours per week for the entire semester, whoops.
  • Carried multiple balloons down Broadway
  • Became “exclusive” with a guy who thinks Bwog should become The Awl.
  • Successfully made it through the semester without talking to my roommate once.

Responsibilities? What Responsibilities?

  • Celebrated my birthday with avocado toast
  • Had to set an alarm to Skype my mom on mother’s day at noon but still slept past the alarm.
  • Took someone to a Broadway show in the front row and we were spat on by the actors
  • Watched my housing (and friend) group disintegrate before my eyes
  • Made a (cute) friend on the subway at 2am and we talked about Beyoncé for an hour. I texted another friend who told me “making friends on the subway is dangerous?”
  • Spent Saturday night at my friend’s upper east side apartment. Drank wine while watching movie marathons until 4am, jumped on beds, and took a bath.
  • Woke up drunk, got coffee with my brother and his ‘friend’ anyway
  • Went to drunch with friends. The waitress had brought out all the mimosas by the time the food arrived, which ended in me eating my eggs, fruit salad, home fries, bacon, and toast in less than two full minutes because drunchies.
  • Watched two seasons of How I Met Your Mother.
  • When I went into EC for a party, the guy signing me in told me that a couple of people already there had been pregaming by watching Human Centipede 2 while listening to Life of Pablo, because they apparently thought it matched well. I’m glad I didn’t arrive any earlier than I did.
  • Went to an art exhibit about “Pandrogeny” and I still don’t know what Pandrogeny is. There were a lot of butts.
  • My mom wished me “Happy Mother’s Day” because she doesn’t really understand how the holiday works and she calls me mom out of affection. She also asked if she should buy me flowers.
  • Accidentally wrote happy birthday instead of happy Mother’s Day to my granny, don’t know if it was bc I was drunk or just so tired from studying
  • Went out for drinks with a cute barista and within the first thirty minutes of the date learned he had moved from cali to new york last month “because the girl i was selling weed to moved out here.”
  • Had a tearful fight on College Walk and felt like a #real #Columbia #student

The semester may be coming to a close, but it’s never too late to send us tips (to tips@bwog.com or our anonymous form) about your (degenerate) adventures. We hear it’s a good way to rehab from Bored@Butler.
