Name, Hometown, School, Major: Shira Borzak, Boca Raton, FL, Barnard College, History Claim to Fame? At one point, I probably tried to pick a fight with your student group as the Spectator Associate Editor in charge of letters to the editor, or as a member of the Spec Editorial Board, wrote a scathing op-ed totally unrelated to […]

PSA: If you’re one of the poor souls still trudging on through the deep abyss of exams, please try to make it to your bed tonight—in part for your mental/physical health, but primarily ’cause Bwog finished last night, and we don’t want to have to post another series of these!
