Lessons Learned From Freshman YearBy April 23, 2013 - 5:33pm It seems like just yesterday that the class of 2016 was stepping onto Columbia’s campus to begin fall semester of our freshman year, giddy and nervous to begin a new chapter in their ives. The past two semesters have flown by, and it is amazing to look back to the first day of classes. As the year winds, regardless of whether you’re 2016 or not, take time to reflect on your past year and how to improve next year. For the incoming class of 2017 (roar, lions, roar!), try to anticipate some of these mistakes, even though we know you’ll end up making some anyway. READ MORE |

2016 Looks Back: Days on CampusBy April 8, 2013 - 7:56am Remember your own Days on Campus, those two days you spent savoring the beauty that is Columbia University? For most students, those two days were what ultimately determined whether or not they wanted to be here. Well, 2016, it’s hard to believe that it’s been a year since we’ve stepped foot on Columbia’s campus for that infamous weekend. And now it’s time for us to welcome a whole new class of potential Columbia students. As we eagerly wait for Low Steps and the South Lawn to be overrun by the class of 2017 for two weekends in a row, we can’t help but feel a little nostalgic and reminisce about our own Days on Campus.

Roundup: Ultra Music Festival 2013By April 1, 2013 - 9:55am For this awesome Roundup, HC Columbia writer Leslie Hill talked to Eli Geschwind, CC ‘ 16 and Max Marshall, CC ’16 about their experience at Ultra Music Festival in Miami. Read on for their expectations, thoughts on the festival, and, naturally, Swedish playboys. To escape the frigid cold of the northeast, I went back home to Southern Florida for Spring Break. As I had expected, the talk of the town was Ultra, an electronic/house music festival in downtown Miami. I had gone in 2012, and you can bet that I kicked myself when I found out the tickets were sold out for both weekends of the festival this year. READ MORE |

Roundup: Alternative Spring Break Programs 2013By March 27, 2013 - 9:59am Welcome back from Spring Break, Columbia! While many of you were relaxing on the beach or hanging out at your hometown’s locales, some of our fellow students were exploring the opportunities Columbia’s alternate spring break trips offered. May of these trips were service-centered, although some corresponded with courses and education. You’ve probably seen signs for these programs. I, unfortunately, rushed by these signs hanging on the bulletin boards. Perhaps if I had given it more thought, I could have been a part of some great adventures! It’s definitely something all of us should keep in mind when making plans for spring break next year. Here’s a highlight of some of this year’s alternative Spring Break trips.... |

#DailyStruggle: Staying on Campus during Spring BreakBy March 4, 2013 - 5:17pm Spring break is just around the corner and some of us are going to be spending it in NYC…which might come as a disappointment for those of us who were looking forward to lounging on a beach for a week. But let’s not forget an undeniable truth: there’s an amazing opportunity wound up in being young in the most exciting city in the world. HC Columbia loves NYC (and you), so we took the liberty of coming up with something to do everyday from Friday, March 15th all the way until the 24th. Friday 15th: READ MORE |

Harlem Shake? Or Harlem Fake?: Appropriation and the Harlem Shake crazeBy February 25, 2013 - 1:33pm Anyone who has been on the internet in the last three weeks has come across the recent “Harlem Shake” video trend. The 30-second videos feature people dancing to the song “Harlem Shake” by Baauer. For the first 15 seconds, one person is dancing, often masked or costumed, then there is a jump cut which then features many other people dancing, some of them also costumed or masked. “Dancing” in these videos is loosely interpreted, as many people are simply thrashing their arms and legs or humping other people or objects (for confirmation, check out Columbia's own version here.)

Cheers to All the Single LadiesBy February 12, 2013 - 6:00am Here’s a shout out to all my single ladies at Columbia. You already know you’re beautiful, independent, and intelligent, so there’s really no need to remind you of how attractive you all are. We all know what the problem is—the guys just can’t handle your personality, are too shy to step up to the challenge, or maybe, they’re just not ready for this jelly. Usually, we can handle all this, but this is kind of a downer when the big V-Day is rushing around the corner. You know how Valentine’s Day goes. It’s that day where we get pissed at all the lovebirds, happily skipping in paradise and locking lips for twenty minutes in the doorway of your Stats class—no offense to all of you girls with your Chace Crawford boyfriends.... |

Special Offer! Chance to Win Tickets to a Show at the Culture Club!By February 8, 2013 - 8:03am It’s an unspoken rule: You can’t be a Columbia student without seeing at least one theater show at some point—after all, the proximity of Broadway is one of the many advantages of going to college in New York City! However, after many all-nighters spent studying, running to and fro across campus, and keeping up with classes, sometimes sitting in a comfy chair in a dark theater is all it takes when your body is screaming for some rest. Before you know it, you're waking up at the end of the show. Even during the best and most captivating Broadway shows, you may find yourself getting restless and squirming in your seat or even dozing off. READ MORE |
