The truth about comments

Hateful anonymous Internet comments are destroying Columbia.

Sophomore Wisdom

My column, Excuses and Half-truths, is all about not being an expert—it’s about being a 20-year-old college student who doesn’t know anything yet, and about trying to figure out a few things. And it’s that perspective which I think makes this Sophomore Wisdom different, and worth writing.

In defense of smokers

Blasphemous though it may be to admit this in the Spectator, I love Bwog’s series “Overheard.” I love it because 1.) it makes me feel better about my own penchant for eavesdropping, and 2.) it provides us with such gems as this:

Little kid, maybe 13 years old, wearing a backpack walking with classmates. With a concerned look at the ashtrays outside of Hamilton: ‘I know there’s a lot of peer pressure at college, but why does everyone have to smoke so much?’”

Good question, kid.
