And we don’t know about you, but we fully plan to make some decisions worth regretting. In preparation for your coming poor choices, give yourself something not to regret — go explore the Columbia Greenmarket […]

And here we are, at the end of the road. The JJ lounge is singing a song of McBain, Schapiro, and Wien today, with the occasional Nussbaum thrown in for some variation. But hey, we love McBain. And we love you, end-of-the-lottery freshmen. Here till the bitter end, Bwog

I found a smartphone in a black case on the Low steps at 1PM. I brought it to public safety in Low.

Tipsters were soaking up the sun yesterday when they saw this baby and overheard these: “This reminds me of Lena Dunham” “Maybe she has an appointment with PrezBo.” “She must feel, like, so free.” Did the parents just not dress their toddler when they left their home, or did they take off all her clothes […]
