Goodbye (Mentally I am in the Former BCB Library Bathtub)
I’m writing my farewell post to readers of Die Bärliner not from Berlin, but from a country road in upstate New York.

With the allure of all-inclusive cruises and Harmony Korine’s 2013 film “Spring Breakers,” spring break has certainly entered into its own mythological status. So what did BCB students do during their week off in April? We talked to Hanna Bargheer, Lily Cummings, Shua Bauer, and Stella Burke to find out. Featured songs, in order of
