Midterms month is rough, what with the long hours spent staring up at the ceiling of the Butler reading rooms (are those deer antlers? I think so!) and praying for it all to end. Might we suggest some (potentially) intimate human contact to help you recover your undoubtedly fleeting social acumen? All interested parties should contact Bwog via email and we'll provide the $5 for the date. And as always, nominate your friends (or yourself) for a personal by emailing bwgossip@columbia.edu.
