Bwog explains how you can transport Morningside to your home now.
Every April, thousands of Columbia students gather on the lawns to admire the trees and shrubs lining college walk. They participate in one of our favorite Columbia traditions—the annual Arbor Day Tree-Watching Ceremony.
Although the cancellation of this year’s ceremony came as a shock, we must opine that we agree with the administration’s decision. We have no way to tell whether our dogwoods and oaks are susceptible to COVID-19, and until we have more tree medicine available, we ought to table mountain oak no chances.
In the meantime, however, we have prepared a guide for all those who miss the Arbor Day festivities and would like to maple believe they are having the same experience at home. We are no treexperts, but we believe that these tips will help you firget that you’re not actually at school.
1. Spruce up your car with some tree-shaped fresheners.
- College Walk, mobile.
2. Go outside. The woods have so many conifers.
- Even more leaves than Morningside.
3. Repaint your favorite walls green.
- Like this.
4. Check out this cool online tree encyclopedia.
- Big Boi’s Big Book of Trees.
5. Invite a music artist to perform at your house. Last year, Columbia invited Sophie.
- Not liking the whole lack of magnolias thing going on in this picture.
6. Look at picture’s from last year’s Arbor Day :(
- Trees with a performance in the background.
- People enjoying the shrubbery.
- Columbia Student.
- One World. United. Arbor Day.
