So you’re definitely getting Baked by Melissa, going to the Tank Top party (once the “Pot Party”), or getting seeds from the John Jay Lounge. It’s cute how CU students come together on 4/20 to produce the most insinuation-laden event names. That said, you can’t really compete with your professor’s itinerary on 4/20—they’re in academia! We […]

Trash: New York City is full of it, Columbia is full of it, and Bwog is also, probably, full of it. (At least, that seems to be the opinion of many of our commenters recently.) And now that the weather is nice enough to actually venture outside for more than the five minutes it takes […]
