@i know... i know this is spectator, but “116 Things to do at Columbia” is a little fun. http://www.columbiaspectator.com/?q=node/21767
@edit staff lydia is cute, but not hot
@to the bwog editors sorry to blemish your gleeful bwog-listing, but these self-indulgent lists compiled from editorial staff submissions should forever remain in your own inboxes. you can do better than these lackluster lists. please spare the rest of us!
@omg hipsters i just barfed a little in my mouth.
@Riven December is Berlin is not that much fun either. But the music scene is much more alive and the NYE parties less artificial and more fun ^^
@Adding to that Force myself to do something outside of New York City once I graduate, at least for a little while, because if I stay here it almost certainly means I will live at home for the rest of my life…rents being what they are, my life being what it is.
@Anonymous I resolve to give up all my worldly possessions and travel the world doing good deeds for the less fortunate. I will, however, continue to regularly shower and shave, as well as not muttering to myself about crazy shit.
@que? Why do you need the help of Lydia DePillis to bike across campus? Is she your mother?
@ASETasetiaewjk NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTION:
RESOLVED: REAL NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS ARE BULLSHIT
@My Contribution: 1. Meet Lydia DePillis.
2. Woo Lydia DePillis.
@secret admirer Lydia DePillis is a damn hot girl. I should have sat next to her during history of nyc class… sigh..
@Hey, guess what Your secret is out.
Also, whoever wrote the resolution that appears sixth from last: it’s “cemetery”, not “cemetary”. Sheesh.
My resolution is to finish more video games. I just play part of most of the games I own, and then I move on to something else and never look back. I mean, God of War II needs to be beaten. Zeus, you dare attempt to kill me??? Oh, it is SO on.
@hi! happy new year, west coast kids!
@concerned citizen When did “m-side” become okay?
My resolution is…that’s not okay.
@whtev go to france and never come back. ever. (really this time)
