If you sat on the steps of Low and didn’t post it on your Snap story, did it really happen?

It’s the end of February—one of our least favorite (but necessary) months in the year. It’s still technically winter, but why is it so fucking hot?

Hear us out: we think that we’ve figured out why it is so fucking hot on campus today. Do you remember when we first began to experience the trials and tribulations of midterms last semester? Sure, it was October (when things start cooling down), but over time, the campus appeared to wither away, almost as if the campus thrived on our unrealistic hopes of “doing all of my readings” and “being mom’s favorite.” With midterms, we slowly began spiraling, bringing the wintry mix of snow, rain, and hail that we’ve experienced since giving up. Columbia felt your pain even when you were home, and mirroring your unwillingness to be better, the campus was unable to bounce back to its  healthy state for the start of the semester. Like you, Columbia too is tired, overworked, and in hibernation.

We’re in our 6th week of this semester, and we’ve already been hearing murmurs of the upcoming summer. Sure, you might not have an impressive internship lined up yet, but doing literally anything else but studying sounds better than what you’re doing now, right? On top of that, Spring Break is just around the corner! The campus senses your anticipation and excitement, and unlike that drunk hookup, Columbia gave you something to hope for again—the satisfaction of finishing.

Or, it could be global warming.
