There are only a couple of weeks left in the semester, and that can mean only one thing: we’re starting to give up. CC reading? Haven’t done it yet. Physics problem set? Barely started. Polisci paper? Thought about it. A little. These days, we’re prioritizing the truly important parts of college life: getting lit and […]

In the two weeks since we first learned that Henry Moore’s sculpture Reclining Figure was going to be placed in front of Butler in the coming months, the stone figure has garnered quite an uproar. Petitions were circulated, Facebook events were created, op-eds were written, and the New York Times even published a story about student […]

Okay, freshmen … You’ve agonized for a whole week. You’ve watched EC suites disappear faster than enthusiasm in an early-morning section of LitHum. You’ve sat up at night wondering what kind of hell hole you’ll have to endure next year. You’ve spent class periods writing out complex lists of the worst possible outcomes. And now, […]

With only a few weeks left of the semester, many seniors (and some sad Barnard polisci majors taking a colloquium) are working on finishing up their thesis papers. We bring you about an hour’s worth of tunes to listen to and reflect on the long journey you’ve had as well as the final moments of […]

Arseniy P. Yatsenyuk, the prime minister of Ukraine, announced his resignation yesterday, only two years after taking power.

Jennifer Lawrence spoke to Harper’s Bazaar about a “new normal body type,” saying that we’re so used to underweight bodies that we deem normal ones “curvy.” (The Guardian) In the continuation of their hilarious responses to anti-LGBT legislation, Funny or Die has released a new video mocking Mississippi’s tourism.

Even if you weren’t a Columbia student at the time of Operation Ivy League, you probably had an idea of what went down through different media sources. Almost six years have passed since the incident, but musician Kosmo Weston has kept it relevant by inserting sound bites from different news broadcasts and court hearings. His work is […]

I like to consider myself to be something of a NACElink veteran, personally. Over the past few months I have applied for nearly every position I’m even remotely qualified to do. Much of these have been of a typical nature: non-profits looking for volunteers to make copies, museums seeking researchers or administrative interns, office assistant […]

CULPA is your friend who has taken every class with every professor and can tell you how much of the reading you actually have to do, if the professor’s voice will put you to sleep, whether the class is worth taking, ect.

The tale of Sweeney Todd is set in London in 1846, and […]

Today seems like the day that we’ll see people ugly-cry. Do you want that one, low-demand Woodbridge suite, or the last spot in Plimpton? Neither, you say? Well, you could try to find 8 people that you don’t hate and go live in Ruggles. Oh, you can only find 6 people? Whatever, add two people that […]
