A significant portion of our staff was unwilling unable to attend the Tree Lighting Ceremony last night, but hey—ain’t those lights pretty? This year’s Tree Lighting has been lovingly summed up by the one staffer who actually sat through the whole thing:
Singing was boring.
Speeches were boring.
Oh one minute of silence for Nelson Mandela. That was nice.
Hot coco and hot cider. Also, marshmallows, cookies, and sweets. That was nice.
I just wanted to get over with it and see the lights. Teasers.

@SarcasmIsAppropriateHere I totally agree with Bwog. It was reaaaaaaally boring (unlike last year), and so this is what the event deserves.
And I did find this article funny. ;)
@CC gal Why didn’t Dean Awn make a speech? Hearing him speak has always been the highlight of the event for me.
@Peter Awn hey girl
@Really? The speeches were horrendously bad.
“I’d like to talk about what light represents, more generally.” Fucking really?
@seas'17 It’s like high school student council all over again!
@Ok I get that putting “Journalism” as a tag is ironic because this is really awful journalism. But can you really afford to make that joke?
@lol i see spec was here
@cc'14 bwog seriously everyone is tired of your fucking shit. write real articles or take down the fucking website so that you can’t disgrace yourselves or Columbia any further. yeesh.
@anon You can say that again! Yeesh!
@Anonymous Really? Does nothing make us happy? Do we have to be angsty and superior about everything, all the time? I’m exhausted.
@CC 16 People complain about bwog but you’ve gotta admire the effort here. Really went all out on this article.
