Ok, let’s just put it this way: Music Hum is not an easy peasy three-credit class where you can get an A without much effort, especially for those of you who haven’t been exposed to much Western classical music.

Final exam season is just around the corner, and it would be negligent of us if we didn’t address one of the most dreaded things about them: the blue book essay exam. Honestly, nothing strikes more fear into the heart of a college student than seeing that big blue book, full of empty, lined pages, just waiting to be filled with paragraphs of writing.

If you are a family member or a friend of a graduating senior, it’s crucial that you make your hotel reservations now (you probably should have done it a few weeks ago, but we can’t all be perfect).

For a prospective student or a first-year, stepping onto a college campus surrounded by big stone buildings and green lawns full of intimidating upperclassmen can be scary. Yes, there are occasionally signs and posters that tell you where you are, but you might be too anxious to even stop and look at them during your first couple of days here, whether it’s during the New Student Orientation Program or Days on Campus.

When you were in high school, you were legally required to go to classes. But now, since you’re a college student, you’ve probably missed your fair share of lectures for various reasons.

Even though there are almost six months before the start of the next semester, course registration is already here. If you haven’t already, now would be a great time to begin thinking about which courses you want to take next year. If you’re in SEAS, this might mean choosing between Music Hum and Art Hum.

There’s no need to give up on your childhood dream of becoming a world-famous musician, because if you’re a Barnumbia undergrad who plays an instrument, you’re eligible to take private lessons through the Music Performance Program, or MPP, at Columbia.

Are you unable to wait another second to find out when you’re finally done with the semester? Checking the registrar every day to see if your class exam schedule has been updated? If you were wondering about your final exam schedule, you can find it now, because the Columbia and Barnard final exam schedules are now online.

While Bacchanal is supposed to be a weekend of good music and fun with your friends, you won’t have fun if you’re too busy worrying about your p-sets and essays or if you get a bit too wild and find yourself at Mount Sinai on Sunday morning. (Please don’t let this happen to you. Be responsible and stay safe.)

Get HYPED for Bacchanal 2017, because AlunaGeorge and D.R.A.M. will take the Bacchanal stage on April 8.
