#COLAweekend guide: January 26-28, 2018

Whether you’re looking to treat yourself to some retail therapy on Devine St. or a night out enjoying Columbia’s arts scene, this COLAweekend will not disappoint. I certainly plan on treating myself to a “sundae funday” at Kaminsky’s for surviving yet another week of class. 🍨 Who’s with me?
