For a moment there, I was worried you weren't going to read this blog post. I spent quite a bit of time working on this, and frankly I feel you'll come away pretty satisfied about it.

You were probably just sitting there, minding your own business and then BAM! - this post just showed up out of nowhere.

College Days are back! An (almost) week-long event sponsored by CCSC that celebrates all the things that make being in Columbia College special, each day is dedicated to a facet of the CC Core. Of course, there's cool swag being given away at many events!

Wow! Spring Break is already upon us. Time flies pretty quickly when you're buried under a pile of textbooks having fun, and what more fun can you ask for on this week off then reading some books (you definitely don't want to watch any movies).

Here's a cool lateral thinking puzzle: what is often maligned, considered a detriment to campus culture, but has not yet had a successful administrative initiative to change it?

Engineering Week started a couple days ago (Sunday evening, to be exact). It's an event series put on by Engineering Student Council every year at around this time to celebrate being an engineer on campus, and it frankly seems pretty fun (plus, there's going to be free food and swag at every event).

As I sat down to write a post for Spectrum today, February 22nd, 2/22, I was stumped on what to write about, but I had a sudden burst of inspiration! Today is February 22nd, 2/22. "That's a lot of twos," I told myself. What if I write about the number 2 in some sort of mathematical or historical way?

You may have heard that something called Glass House Rocks is happening tonight at 8 p.m. in Lerner Hall—I've definitely heard the name but have never been to, as my Netflix addiction rarely lets me experience such things as "community" or "fun without any self-loathing."

FROM THE EDITORS:

In the upcoming University Senate elections, three candidates are running for one vacant seat to represent the School of Engineering and Applied Science. To provide readers with more information on the race, we invited all three candidates to submit editorials of no more than 500 words to explain why School of Engineering and Applied Science students should vote for them. We took all possible measures to ensure fair and equal coverage. We simultaneously emailed all three candidates via their listed Columbia email addresses and gave them identical instructions. We did not make any substantive changes or suggestions. However, every submission was edited to conform with Spectator style for spelling and grammar.
