It may have been the first week of spring, but Mr. Sun had yet to rear his golden head. Lots of rain was in the forecasts this week, and campus style adapted accordingly. The trend seemed to be towards deep tones, heavy fabrics, and dark boots; still, everyone expressed optimism about the warmer weather ahead.

What brings you to Columbia? I’m visiting with my sister. I’m showing her around the area—Tom’s, the cathedral. . .
Where are you going? Oh man. Wherever the wind takes us. We’re looking for some good chocolate. . . we just went to Max Brenner; we went to Jacques Torres yesterday. I got a butterscotch milkshake in an Alice cup.
What’s your favorite dessert? Chocolate!
Morgan Jefferson, BC ’13, Barnard Quad
Where did you get your outfit? Topshop
Is it hard to coordinate outfits with the crutches? Yeah, because I have to wear this ugly boot!
What is your favorite class this semester? Anthropology.

Meron Gribetz, GS; The Steps
What are your majors? Gribetz: Comp Sci & Neuro Sci.
What inspired your outfits today? Gribetz: I was actually very inspired by Bob Dylan this morning. . . here, I’ll show you the pictures. (Pulls out iPhone and shows this and this). You know, this style of glasses became popular because of Bob Dylan.
What are you two most excited about for spring weather in New York? Both: Central Park, definitely. Gribetz I actually really like that little patch over there, Riverside Park, too.
Are you here for CCO? No—we were about to walk all the way downtown, but we got sidetracked by the performances.

@Anonymouse Okay, you need to go home….
@... Mean Girls, anyone?
@Anonymouse Derf.
@Anonymous I think crutches looks nice, but the first girl looks foolish. Why was she chosen? Because I really don’t see it. The couple is okay, but boring; I think about 60-70% of the campus dresses like that.
@yay ooo the second girl is so cute! She has such a sweet smile. I also like everyone’s jackets.
@Oh God... “The sound of a hundred insecure douches cracking their fingers ready to attack, engulfed Morningside…”
Aim for the one with the crutches folks, she’s weak and will far more easily.
@haha I think you the second verb.
@Ooooh. Meta dude…
I actually laughed pretty hard at that though.
@Anonymous the 2nd girl has a cute skirt, but i don’t really see anything original in any of the other outfits. meh.
@but she's... purrrty.
