Columbia Admirers is a Facebook group and Tumblr that started in fall 2012 as a spin-off of Columbia Compliments. It quickly rose to popularity, with over a dozen anonymous admirations published a day. Because Columbia students are widely known to be awkward as fuck, the group provided a much-needed outlet for everyone to express their desire for love in a hopeless place, not to mention everyone's sexual frustration. It's unknown how many loves blossomed or how many people got laid thanks to CU Admirers, but its effect rippled across campus for the better part of the 2012-2013 year.
The group shut down in April 2013 after getting temporarily banned from Facebook for a reported status. CU Admirer's parting message was for the Columbia community to get over its awkwardness and admire each other in person.[1]
Some CU Admirers celebrities (i.e. people who got a ridiculous number of tagged admirations) include Keanu Ross-Cabrera, and James Bennet, who narrated the Sensual Sundays videos in which the more entertaining CU Admirers posts were read aloud sensually.
