@anon yipeng, what a stud
@Anon maybe it’s just me, but i don’t know anyone on that list.
with spectator, like other groups at Columbia (notably athletics), when you spend as much time as they do working on the newspaper, you sort of disappear from getting to know anyone outside your small circle of spec friends.
@cc2011 congrats guys and gals and I hope you make the best year ever!
@Anonymous Go Alix and Sam!!! <3
@YOBS EMBRYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
