Au revoir, Columbia (is what we would be saying if we weren’t too busy studying).

Some Bwoggers found time to relax during finals season:

• Primal Scream’d
• Tried alcohol for the first time (I’m almost 21)
• Went to an absolutely unhinged panel about Jews and Weed that was the opening event for an exhibit about Jews and weed. Afterward a guy was signing joints in lobby
• Spent the night at a girl’s apartment only to find out her roommate had COVID-19 the day after
  • Did not contract COVID-19
• Took a brief interlude and saw Lingua Ignota at LPR :)
• Met a cat named Cool on the lawns outside of Philosophy Hall
• Appreciated my own taste in music
• Ears were blessed by so much new music
  • Mahal by Toro y Moi, Time ‘n’ Place by Kero Kero Bonito, and “Love You Back” by Madeon for anyone interested
• Got really into The Staircase documentary but kept pausing because it made me lose my mind because that is my hometown y’all. I had mock trial practice in the UNC Law courtrooms Michael Peterson practiced being a witness in. That is insane!
• Became a new person in Starbucks

And other Bwoggers found ways to send off the year:

• Said goodbyes to people and realized I’m a sentimental sap at heart 
• Made my mom a Mother’s Day card complete with childish bubble letters
• Sent off friends :(
• Curled up like a housecat on the foot of my friend’s bed and slept the best I have in weeks 
• Flew home
  • There was an actual medical emergency on the plane: they announced the whole “if you’re a doctor, please press your call button” thing. I think it worked out alright though

But some Bwoggers suffered through the weight of the weekend:

• Finished five essays and an exam in the span of four days
• Procrastinated procrastinating 
• Did enough physics to last a lifetime
• Dragged a bunch of storage boxes around in the 48 hours of constant rain over the weekend
• Submitted 12 pages of papers :(
• Procrastinated on completing the work I need to do to graduate from an Ivy League university
• Was so deeply, deeply fatigued

And the pressure really got to some others:

• Held a funeral
• Accidentally diagnosed someone with ADHD in JJ’s
• Was diagnosed with ADHD in JJ’s
