Once a year, Speccies dress up like they’re in an episode of Gossip Girl and head to their Annual Awards Dinner. The dinner this year was held in the New York Athletic Club, which is the kind of place where if you enter wearing sneakers you have to take the servant’s elevator. We’ve heard reports […]

This poor girl collapsed on a rather uncomfortable looking bench just inside Pupin’s front doors. The red coat is reminiscent of Little Red Riding Hood, but judging by her head placement she’s going to be out for a while, so Sleeping Beauty is probably a more appropriate analogous fairy tale. Enjoy that bench and get some, […]

Perhaps you a rising sophomore just learning that […]

It’s tour season and one fellow Columbian started cracking wise at the Lerner turnstiles: “What is this?” “It’s a really long omelette line.” The omelette might be worth the slowed traffic but some poor Barnardian won’t be able to enjoy a drink with her meal. A true tragedy.
