Soon, the only games you’ll get into for free will be here instead.

Love it or hate it, it’s Day 5 of NSOP and that means the end is in sight. But you’ve still got some mandatory meetings to go to before you can fly free. Luckily, there’s also some fun in store after you make it through. 

Today’s Highlights:

  • Green Sale by EcoReps: Grab some cash and head on over to the Wein Lounge ASAP to buy LitHum books, hangers, and that mini-fridge that wouldn’t fit in your suitcase. Maybe bring The Iliad (or some other light reading) as well. You’re going to be in that line for a while.
  • Live Well, Learn Well: From 1:30 to 2:30 today, let Alice Health Peer Leaders guide you and your building-mates through about transitioning to life on campus, overcoming obstacles and making healthy choices during your time at Columbia. All incoming students have to go, but you can rest easy knowing it’s one of the last mandatory events of NSOP.
  • Take Me Out to the Ballgame: Yankees vs Tigers: Whether you’re in love with “America’s pastime” or just ready to get away from 116th and Broadway, get a ticket to the baseball game from the Lerner Ramps any time before 5 pm and head on over to Yankee Stadium to enjoy some peanuts and Cracker Jacks.

One Thing To Do Before Graduating: Get a New York Public Library card. Not only will you have access to a huge collection of materials, but as of this summer, it will also get you free access to the Guggenheim and a bunch of museums with their new Culture Pass.

From The Archives: You might have heard about the graduate worker strike last semester. One Bwogger was on the scene, though their passions weren’t entirely focused on workers’ rights.
