You might be done with your finals (as previously stated, just crawl into your big blue bin and roll down Broadway, lucky person), but your room is still a monumental mess jam-packed with memorabilia and nonsense documenting your past year at Columbia. What treasures will you find as you comb through your notes and throw out month-old orange shells that are inexplicably under your bed?
Organic
- “A pretty much empty bottle of alcohol that you bought for a dorm party during NSOP and then hid way too well out of fear of expulsion for illicit substances.”
- “Three half-used containers of DayQuil.”
- “Extra vibrator.”
- “Your roommate’s dead goldfish!”
Dorm Decor
- “A cute set of postcards that you bought at some indie bookstore and totally planned on hanging on ur wall but somehow never got around to it.”
- “The Gamecube you never bothered to unpack.”
- “Absentee voter’s ballot.”
- “Unloved shoes & clothes stuffed way back in closet/drawers I forgot I had/got too small/no longer my style.”
Recreational
Nostalgia
- “Your “StepUp!” T shirt from the NSOP SVR presentation.”
- “Glowstick necklaces and bracelets given to you during NSOP, which have since lost their glow, much their owner.”
