Name, school: Whitney Green, SEAS
Claim to fame: President of the Engineering Student Council, Beat-boxing extraordinaire, Awesome facial expressions (or so I am told), Getting to do a senior wisdom!
Where are you going? After this year? To take a nap.
Three things you learned at Columbia:
- Anything and everything can be made into an acronym
- I can rock the hell out of Columbia blue! : )
- If I actually engineered anything, the world would be in trouble
Justify your existence in 30 words or fewer: I like to laugh. A lot. And I prefer people to laugh with me. So if I can bring a smile to your face, then I’ve fulfilled my purpose.
Any war stories from the War on Fun? My greatest opponent seems to be the senate. I’ve been in some kind of issue with them for at least 3 years now (SEAS senate elections, academic calendar, etc.) and it feels like I’ve been conversing with a giant black hole. But don’t worry senate, I’ll be back for more rounds…Oh, and that time I almost fell down President Bollinger’s steps at a fireside chat. One wrong step and there I went smashing Chinese food against the wall. But I managed to catch myself just in time to look up and see the entire room staring at me. Then the coordinator said with a ‘wth’ face, “Please hold on to the banister.” So me vs. Prezbo’s house? Me ftw.
Would you rather give up oral sex or cheese? Seriously, who came up with this question?
Any advice for the Class of 2014?
- You can get almost any done if you have the right leverage.
- Smile, it goes a long way.
- You need two things for a great turnout: free food and free t-shirts
- Sleep when you graduate. There is too much to take advantage of to lose anytime.
- The best things you will take away from this experience are the relationships with the people you will meet. So step outside of your comfort zone and get to know others (their strengths, passions, cultures and talents). You’ll find that by doing this, you’ll discover new things about yourself.
- A 20% on an exam is awesome when the class average is 16%.
Any regrets? I never got a chance to run a giant slinky down Low steps. But glass half full right?

@whiNNNEEY this is (not) deysy but whitney, you are hilarious, and I love you, even if I can’t shriek as high as deysy. BCR!!!!
@OMFG WHITNEY GREEN HAVE MY BABIES
But seriously.
<#
@I LOVE WHITNEY
@Anonymous Sonya Shadravan for Senior Wisdom! She’s amazing!
@yesss i second that!
@A friend Sam Reisman should do a senior wisdom — student gov’t people are boring as hell by definition.
@yes the rice man
@The SEAS Reverend Yay Whit! Congrats again on another successful year on ESC.
@... PresWHIT!!!!
@gosh i can’t believe all she’s going to do after graduating is nap! why did she spend so much $$$ and time to not get a job after college. whitney must have no ambition…
….is what that douchebag from before would say. yay whitney!
@but seriously what is whitney doing next year? SEAS kids actually have jobs usually.. she must just be downplaying
@Anonymous she actually hasn’t found anything yet for after college. surprising
@Anonymous actually she has a few options here and there..she is just really modest
@Anonymous definitely dave mulhern….he’s awesome
@Anonymous only one barnard girl so far on senior wisdom… step it up bwog
@Anonymous why is that a bad thing?
@SEAS based on the thumbs ups and downs in the whole CC vs. Barnard battle, most BWOG readers, at least the ones who care, are from Barnard. pity… off to the Spectrum then!
@Anonymous ok so this whole thumbs up/down thing on bwog is a good idea, but hiding the thumbs down comments seems silly, since bwog commenters are all about the controversy and seeing hidden comments just makes me want to read them! unnecessary step!
@ummm... how do you know that most of the readers ‘who care’ are from Barnard? it’s not like everyone in CC and SEAS hates Barnard. this ‘battle’ that you speak of is only illustrated in Bwog and similar websites, and rarely (if ever) in actual life.
@whitney is awesome!
@meh she seems lame
@meh so do you
@next senior wisdom! mike molina plz!! he’s awesome
@dumb He already did a Senior Wisdom, check it out. Good try though.
@OMGod WHINNNNNEYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
@Anonymous You make me giggle, love.
@Anonymous dave mulhern for senior wisdom
@The SEAS Reverend YES! The man has a story or two…
@hahaha that prezbo story had me laughing for a solid minute…hilarious
@... I love Emma Siesfeld. Emma, if you read this, this is your favorite freshman. He was dancing at the central park dance party. You know…
@Anonymous Why are people taking such offense to “sleep when you graduate”? Thanks for the health concerns, but Whitney’s right – take advantage, there’s so much to do. C’mon.
This is pretty solid, one of the better entries this year (pretty lackluster group overall). What about an athlete? Or another Barnard lady? Ross Ramone would make a great choice, a really well-rounded athlete. Emma Siesfeld is one of the funniest people I know.
@sen10r wisdom Ross for sure. Has he gotten an offer from Bwog yet?
And everyone loves Emma. Barnard could use some more rep here.
@also Jeff Spear. He’s awesome.
@CC11 what about Karen Kwan? A lovely Barnard lady
@Another Great Senior Wisdom.
I wish I was friends with her. It’s nice to see people who aren’t the Columbia paradox, self-righteous, yet self-deprecating
@Anonymous rajat roy for bwog senior wisdom!
@Agreed I actually just want to see his answers. We might as well cap off the year with some controversy. lol
@I heart Whitney
@a little abrasive, no?
@WHOOO! Whitney Green is one of the greatest people on campus. For serious. Also she is a crazy talented beatboxer.
@Dear whitney, The senate finds you frustrating too.
Love and kisses,
A senator
@Anonymous I’m willing to bet a lot more people find you more frustrating…
@LOL “Seriously, who came up with this question?”
Rob Trump
@Anonymous proud to be her cuppie
@Anonymous –you know who
@wayne simonetti senior wisdom
@love her whitney is the best hair modeling agent ever!
@whitney is AWESOME! absolutely one of the best seniors out there. columbia, seas, esc, and all of us have been lucky to have a champion like her. one of the best personalities ever and selflessly hard-working, dedicated, and supportive.
just don’t waste your talents and energies on the bedeviled senate, whit. you are meant for much, much bigger and better things. leave them to their sad fantasies of power and import in low library’s inferno…”fixed in the slime, they say, ‘sullen were we in the sweet air that by the sun is gladdened, bearing within ourselves the sluggish fume; now we are sullen in the black mire.’ this hymn they gurgle in their throats, for they cannot speak with entire words.”
@you know who hold the bar, Whitney. Hold the goddamn bar.
@Awesome Girl But the sleep when you graduate advice is terrible. For pre-frosh and others, everything else she said is right on; however, SLEEP. It is not worth compromising your health for school, and in the long run you will probably do worse.
I was going to say get your beauty rest, then I looked in the mirror and realized that the two don’t always correlate.
@grr cool girl, boring wisdom
@Anonymous2 4. Sleep when you graduate. There is too much to take advantage of to lose anytime.
Eh, I always felt that I wasn’t really experiencing things when semi-somolent
@Anonymous whitney’s the best
@Fanboy AAAHHHHHH!!!! WHITNEY GREEENNNNNN!!!!!! AAAHHHHH
*faints*
@Anonymous Yay Whitney… She is so great! I wish I got to spend more time with her over the past four years.
