Our memories of Columbia nightlife during the Fall 2014 semester

As one of our last weekends on campus before we say goodbye to Fall 2014, it should come as no surprise that some people got rowdy. Next weekend we’ll be watching SNL on a couch with parents, and we like to think that the weekend after we’ll be productively studying our days away. And because we know coming home to your roommate on Sunday won’t go quite like this, remember that your rowdy weekends in NYC are numbered. 

 Columbia is where the heart is:

• “Was wearing a Columbia t-shirt and was literally grabbed by my shirt to be dragged into a tourist’s picture of columbia and ‘real Columbia students.'”
• “Went to a Murder Mystery Party in John Jay lounge over the weekend. The theme was upper-crust society of the 20s. I spent most of my time insulting F. Scott Fitzgerald, but I was redeemed when it turned out one of the murderers was his wife. Despite the lack of sugary snack foods, it was probably the best RHLO event I’ve ever been to.”
• “Saturday I ran into friends and they said, ‘is everything okay? We both follow you on Spotify.'”
• “Lost my Barnard ID sometime between 10 PM and midnight on Saturday night. Woke up Sunday morning with a missed call and voicemail at 3:40 AM from ‘No Caller ID,’ notifying me that some saint among us in Morningside Heights returned my ID wallet with my Barnard ID, my room key, and my health insurance card all in tact. Never before been so relieved to be contacted by the ominous ‘No Caller ID.'”
• “Woke up cuddled naked with my roommate. Went to drunch. Tasty.”
• Overheard on Joseph Gordon-Levitt: “What’s that movie where he’s twelve and a prostitute?”
• “Got pooped on by a bird…supposed to be good luck? Hopefully that will come through with finals.”
• “Watched Monsters Inc. for the first time in a very long time. It was fantastic.”
