Name, school: Ameneh Bordi, CC
Claim to fame: Director of the Varsity Show. Other theatrical events. I hope that’s why people know me…
Where are you going? I will be staying in the city for the summer, and then I hope someone would like me to direct something for them. I applied for a few directing fellowships, but haven’t gotten any yet.
Three things you learned at Columbia:
- If I don’t drink or smoke or go out one night when everyone else is, that’s fine. But if it becomes every time that I’m passing, then I’ve become lame. Don’t be lame now, I guess is the moral to that- there will be time later to be lame when there’s real life to deal with.
- I really like philosophy. Its very applicable to my daily life, and it really makes me think about the world in a totally different way.
- People are really different. I never understood before I got here that being weird was normal, and that people actual do things they want to do, not just what they’re good at. Also, I learned that some people really like doing stuff I hate (like econ and pre-med) so I should leave that stuff to them and do the things that I love.
Justify your existence in 30 words or fewer: I would like to live a life full of love, make people feel joy, and be young as long as possible. Also, Wheat Thins.
Any stories from the War on Fun? Oh man 40’s on 40 this year was insane. Sneaking swigs while surrounded by a dozen plain-clothes public safety guys was a surreal experience. I was trying to be super friendly with them all, because I felt bad that they had to chaperone a bunch of adults, but seriously they could have given us a few more feet of space.
Would you rather give up oral sex or cheese? Keep cheese. To be honest, I’ve had more amazing cheese experiences. But if someone is into changing my mind, I’m down.
Any advice for the Class of 2014? Oh 2014! You are so young! Sit outside more than you think is OK. Eat at P&W. Discover ways to get from one floor of Lerner to another without using the elevator or ramps. Visit people who live in other dorms.
Any regrets? I regret not visiting people in other dorms more. I was a bit of an EC bum this year, but I missed out on some lovely Woodbridge and Ruggles friends. I also wish I had taken more philosophy and maybe written a thesis. Then again, I’m not regretting not having a thesis right now.

@Anonymous A for effort! find me on facebook – a week till graduation means trying to meet everyone!
@YES! YES to Giselle O! Ask her bwog, ask her!
@CRod Actually, drinking and smoking is lame.
Anyone who smokes is a complete idiot considering how clear it is that it damages your body. Either that, or they are lame.
A drink or two or three is fine. But when it gets to the point where you have little control over what you say or do, because you are afraid to be yourself, then that, too, is lame.
@HardRod Actually, magnanimously sharing your wisdom from the beyond with us tragically mislead college students is lame.
Go get laid.
@Actually, Sitting hunched over a computer all day in Butler, eating high fructose pastries from Blue Java and chugging caffeine is bad for your body too. Get over yourself.
Anyway, I don’t think she’s talking about cigarettes..
@Off topic baby I am burnt out, guys.
@... “Don’t become lame now, there’s a moral to that…”
no, really. i don’t think there is.
@CC student BWOG, no GS senior wisdom? Really?
@Anonymous good point! old people ARE wise.
@Anonymous Hello, CU Housing and Dining!
Check out is in 4 days. I would like to know where my summer housing is, since I’m moving there in 4 days.
Thanks!
@Dear Ameneh, I just met you last week…can I take you out and if things go well try to change your mind?
@Anonymous hey! find me on facebook? Im the only Ameneh Bordi I know…
@I think this was great! everyone who says it’s boring… you’re boring.
we’re all boring isn’t it great!
great great great great great
oh yeah finals
@Ameneh I’d like to try. How can I contact you?
@BWOG BWOG how can you not post about this adderall controversy thats going on around campus? didnt you read those articles?
@lol Controversy? As in, people without prescriptions are using Adderall for studying and/or partying? Preposterous! When have college students ever been known to use drugs? Next you’ll be telling me that there’s UNDERAGE DRINKING on campus!
@actually... this is a pretty big problem on our campus…
@Anonymous It’s a college thing, not necessarily a Columbia thing. It happens, get used to it. And hey, in the 80s they would just do a little coke!
@... BOOOOOOOOOOOOORING!!
@finally a great cheese answer that doesn’t make an awkward hint about their promiscuity or sexual orientation
@Anonymous john klopfer still on top for best cheese answer, http://bwog.net/2009/05/14/senior-wisdom-the-bwog-staff
@That being said Lydia needs to get props for hers (same article).
@is it just me or did this not make any sense?
grammar, people!
@Not just you The first thing she learned at Columbia made no sense to me even after reading it like 3 times.
@Anonymous if you dont go out one night when all your friends go out, it’s okay. But if this keeps happening you’re a loser. You have plenty of time to be a loser when you graduate so don’t be a loser now.
@Lawrence But I’m not cool enough.
People in bands are cool. I’m not cool.
@Anonymous Unless they are in the marching band…
@great movie well done, lawrence. that must be why you’re so good at the piano.
@YES Ameneh Bordi is the love of my life.
@Gimme More! We need Giselle Obregon sw NOW! Bwog will not regret it.
@Anonymous What about an athlete for senior wisdom?
@Eliza Check back tomorrow afternoon at about 1!
@Anonymous Thank you
@Post Dan Miranda. I know he sent you one.
@um was she high when she wrote this?
answer: yes
response: awesome
@I'm down isn’t it weird that bwog isn’t in bwog’s spell check?
@Anonymous pretty sure that’s your browser’s spell check…
@eh boring as hell. ” i really like philosophy.” “people are really different.” the world is like, so complex, and stuff.
@... every party needs a pooper
@midwesterner Yeah, this chick should be awarded an honorary degree for her platitudes
@Anonymous On the positive side, what guy is not motivated by that sex/cheese answer
@Anonymous yeah, you’re right. it sounded a lot more coherent and original writing it than it did reading it. oh well! living it was pretty fun.
amb
@this is probably obvious But what is P&W?
@Eliza The very delicious sandwich shop right next to Hungarian. http://www.menupages.com/restaurants/p-ws-sandwich-shop/
@Anonymous yay ameneh! sweet girl and genuinely cool and interesting. good choice for SW.
