Musings on bumming it
I slept through my morning lecture, and don’t have anywhere I really have to be until 8 p.m., so until then I think I’m just gonna forego the Study Abroad Fair this afternoon, put my phone on my desk—which I will regret later—and stay in bed in this puke-colored sweatshirt and browse the internet, which I can do now since my dad gave me a new 1000-foot-long ethernet cable that can...

At first I was really dismayed to learn that Columbia’s main lit mag only does, well, lit. But then I found this and they only do art, which is way better.
