Preferred swim test stroke? CHICKEN-T-SWIM BABY! The Inverted backstroke. Yeah, its alright.
What are three things you learned at Columbia?
1) I can drink a whole Hennessey fifth. Some call it a problem, I just call it a gift. (To plagarize Xzibit). Oh I guess I learned that too.
2) Anytime there is free anything, line up about 5 hours early. When student council advertises 100 free anything, keep in mind that 60 of them go to members of the student council and their closest friends
3) The ability to bullshit 5-7 pages about absolutely anything, with footnotes, in 5 hours or less. Its really a remarkable but invaluable skill.
Justify your existence in 30 words or less.
Anyone who can proudly admit to still liking Limp Bizkit deserves a nod, right?
What was your favorite controversy in your time at Columbia?
When I found out that despite his bitter departure, PresBo continues to root for Michigan football. O-H-I-O GO BUCKEYES.
What Columbia memory best exemplifies your college experience?
The ability to get a group of friends to do just about anything with you at anytime of the night good or bad. This is actually going to be a reasonable answer. Want to play ball, send out a mass text, next thing you know, half of Wein is on South Field. Want JJ’s at 3AM? Once again, there will be 15 people waiting there. Its just a remarkable aspect of how small Columbia is, anything from partying to playing put-put at Chelsea piers is always an option with a group of people.
Which prof do you think would be the best kisser?
Kenneth Jackson. He’s got that sweet Southern Charm, stays fit riding bikes and unquestionably has done a walking tour of every single one of the most awesome lookout points in the city.
What percentage of seniors do you think are virgins?
Don’t know but send them to Watson House.
Would you rather permanently give up oral sex or cheese?
Lactose intolerant, this one is easy.
Days on Campus memory?
I was in a traffic jam on the way home from a high school baseball tournament. Baseball or kegger maybe that’s what I regret.
Regrets?
Gotta learn to live with regrets (plagiarizing again, Jay-Z).

@Wigwam Pink Jesse is the man, I hear we can convince a certain suite-mate of mine that today’s the day! Break open the bottle of Hennessy!!
And its baseball season. I’ve got a bottle of Pisco and it might be moving out to…390.
@right on the mark 2) Anytime there is free anything, line up about 5 hours early. When student council advertises 100 free anything, keep in mind that 60 of them go to members of the student council and their closest friends
So true…I’m even saying this as a student council member!!!
(I guess I’m getting my Light Blue t-shirt then now, huh…)
@effin eh Forgot the word “NOT”
@Please no more senior wisdoms from people who really have no wisdom to offer. Is there anything remotely interesting or inspiring in that? Good for him if he can drink a fifth of hennessy/ quote xzibit.
@this dude is a g. was in my caribbean history class…sorry we didnt learn about more bob marley, man.
@haha really great that somebody thinks barnard girls are more successful than cc ones judging by senior wisdom. and that he/she typed “ski bumbs.” sweet spelling.
@booyakasha amazing, four years of school here and trrrsh and takeoutbox both cannot come to terms with the fact that it does not even matter in the end!!!!
ps — yes, bwog profiles for sure are the best way to generalize a whole entire class of 500 people (or more, for that matter).
@4MY That picture is amazing, Cooper 4 Prez!
@i dig when fellas defend themsleves on bwog.
@yes... what is watson house?
@lolz if it takes 5 hours to write 5-7 pages, you haven’t learned enough at columbia. thats like a 3 hour job, if that much
@What is Watson House?
@Anonymous uh no. i believe there were three. and 2/3 had jobs. not to mention majority of cc kids are being ski bumbs, hiking on a fucking mountain, or working at steve and barrys. excellent
@ugh takeoutbox you have some serious inferiority issues that you need to get over.
@trrrsh There are 2 Barnard profiles and one wasn’t sure what they were going to do (or didn’t specifically name a company/position). Hmmm, by your logic, the “majority” of Barnard girls is 50%. Take your head out of your ass.
@Anonymous haha seems like majority of barnard girls had actual post grad plans whereas cc kids are doing shit
@trrrsh I seem to remember 2 Barnard girls profiled… so the Barnard graduating class is 3 people?
@this is amazing
@good shit this was great. jesse’s an awesome guy, and that photo is the best senior wisdom shot I’ve seen. and great calls about learning to write 5-7 pages on anything in a couple hours, and also student council hoarding half the free shit for their friends. very glad to see Jesse up here. Well-deserved
@finally, a good one jesse’s awesome. newark represent!
@Fascinating not.
