dance on my skeletön

This fabulous year, our favorite spooky holiday falls on a Monday. Bwog Staffer Angelica Lagasca has some ideas to help you take advantage of this timely coincidence (this only happens every seven years!) and spread the love of the spook to your classmates.

• In the middle of lecture, just let out a big ol’ scream. To be fair, you will not be scaring your classmates as much as you will be reminding them of the singular scream we all share within.
• If in a seminar, start with “Going off [name]’s point” but then discuss an unrelated point at length. When they bring up the concept of kleos again, bring up the Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth, the implications of memes reducing individual ownership while bolstering corporate ownership, or the vague sense of dread you feel every time you wake up in the morning.
• Start talking about something. Then, mid-thought, stop talking. Take the moment of silence where your classmates begin wondering what you were trying to say in the first place by meditating on your life.
• Become the echo. Make sure you affirm your ability to listen to others’ opinions or your professor by repeating them out loud; take advantage of every pause or “um.” Bonus points if you can paraphrase their words while maintaining Columbia’s honor code.
• Become the devil’s advocate. Counter every point someone else makes. Pick a fight with someone. Bring out the fists; remember your jab, cross-jab, long knee, and ax stomp. When questioned (or not questioned), let them know you’re just being the devil’s advocate.
