We would have given Kerouac and Ginsberg senior wisdoms, except Kerouac dropped out and Ginsberg was nominated after the deadline.

Were they destroyed by madness? Starving? Hysterical? Naked? Staggering through the Negro streets at dawn looking for an angry fix? Angelheaded hipsters burning for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night?

Or did they do something amazing/monumental/outrageous during their time at Columbia (in GS/Barnard/CC/SEAS)? Maybe they aced every problem set despite sleeping 12 hours a day. Maybe they made the organization they were part of one of your favorite places on campus. Maybe they’re the emperor of bad puns. Maybe, just maybe, they’re graduating at the end of this semester (fall 2018)!

If you know a senior whose advice must be bestowed upon the Columbia community before they graduate this semester, nominate them for a senior wisdom! For first-years, transfers, combined plans, reading-Bwog-for-the-first-timers: Senior Wisdoms are a series of short interview-type posts with graduating seniors in which they, well, share their wisdom. Examples can be found here.

To nominate someone, hit us up with their name, school, uni, and a brief description explaining why you think they deserve a Senior Wisdom. Email us at tips@bwog.com or use our anonymous formRemember that we are currently only accepting nominations for seniors who are graduating at the end of this (fall 2018) semester. The deadline is Friday, December 7 at 11:59 pm. Nominations submitted after the deadline will be rerouted to Antartica.
