You didn’t ask for it but you also didn’t ask for you parents divorce and look how much you’ve grown because of that so anyway I asked the good sniffers at Bwog to tell me what smelly smells they smelled over the course of this week and they delivered some prime analyses of the sweetest of perfumes and foulest of stenches. So here it is: Oversmelled, Columbia and Barnard. All accounts are anonymous.
“It smells like shit in my comp sci lecture”
“THE SMELL OF AN OUT OF ORDER WASHING MACHINE MMMMMM THAT GOOD MILDEW”
“There’s a hallway in the back/bottom of diana on the LL1 floor that leads to an exit near the little side entrance of Barnard closer to 120th
AND IT SMELLS LIKE MY PRESCHOOL. IT’S THE EXACT SMELL AND SOMETIMES I GO THERE FOR A NOSTALGIC SNIFF”
“the one, singular boy in my 15 person Intro to Art History I discussion section last fall smelled like lasagna every week without fail”
“does the entrance of pupin smell like an infected swimming pool or is that just me”
“Something in the air on Broadway today smelled exactly like how it felt waiting to go on stage before my 5th grade school play”
“I wake up every Sunday morning to the smell of my next door neighbor making coffee”
“I spent too much time in ButCaf as a freshman and now to me it smells like despair”
“Every part of wien smells damp but each in a different way… I don’t know how to communicate it….”
“Barnard quad smell – musty yet nostalgic. Familiar in its dampness”
“I have no clue WHAT it is but it smells literally horrible on Broadway right outside of dig inn”
“[redacted] IT ALWAYS DOES ITS THE DIG INN CURSE”
“It smells like wood glue in the stairwells of Hartley and I feel at peace”
“My room smelled like toast for two days and then never again; There was never any toast to begin with”

@barnard alumna Barnumbia is such a nasty sounding word, and it’s obviously fake and just pushed to make certain people feel good. You can say Barnard and Columbia — nobody cares, everybody understands that you’re referring to a community derived from the schools affiliation.
“Barnumbia” sounds like a Victorian English wasting disease. “Barnard and Columbia” sounds like a respectable pair of academic institutions.
@Anonymous Barnumbia is not a word. It is only used by Barnard students. It has no association with anything Columbia.
