Like lizards, we took to the sun this weekend, but could you blame us after all that rain?

Bwog saw the sun and never looked back.

Sat on a picnic blanket enjoying the sun and friends
Sat in the sun for like an hour and loved every minute of it
Was way to happy about the warm weather. Like it was life-changing for me
Went on a walk through riverside
Abandoned school work to feel the sun
Went to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens for my friend’s birthday! The crocuses were beautiful
Walked in the rain on Saturday AND photosynthesized in the sun on Sunday
Frolicked around campus in the sun
Had a picnic blanket moment and watched everyone enjoy recess
Got some glorious vitamin D, and now I think I can make it to spring break
Walked around Central Park on Sunday!!

Bwog was supportive to the arts!

Saw Dance Nation (my friend’s acting thesis!!) and cried many times. Beautiful and perfect
Went to see Dance Nation!
Went to two Athena Film Festival movies
Volunteered for the film fest! met some incredible film makers and highly recommend volunteering next year!
Saw Dance Nation, it was astounding
Saw a ballet, three short operas, and a jazz concert
Volunteered as a liaison for Naach Nation!!! Saw the performance and it was SO GOOD!!

Bwog acted like every NYC college student EVER.

Forgot to do laundry :(
Pretended an essay I have due next week didn’t exist
Got one of those Diana Center Cafe milkshakes from the giant machine with friends
Did mid-day Sunday laundry
Yearned for spring break
Did no work on Saturday and then had to do a bunch of work on Sunday
Got a way better score on my midterm than expected
Studied a lot (and mentally prepared for a very academic week SOS)
Found out most frozen yogurt in the city isn’t self serve? (wtf)
Studied for my Shakespeare midterm, most likely failed said midterm
Conquered my fear of Citi biking, and now I can’t wait to go again
Did not start my midterms, which are this week, and now i am paying the price (but it was so worth it)
Did a lot of writing and reading
Grinded so much Orgo
Bemoaned not doing enough work

Bwog performed top-tier self-care!

Visited the re-opened Wu & Nussbaum.
Spent Saturday doing an extensive hair care routine.
Got Fumo for the first time (thanks riley’s mom for the gift card!)
Watched Crazy Rich Asians for the first time with my roommate and girlfriend
Had an amazing lemon lavender poppy muffin from dear mama
Ate a full baguette with my friends on low steps with cheese and it was the best moment of my life
Ate a lot of ginger lime cake

Bwog achieved great things.

New President!
