Bennett, II; Baltimore, MD (the original Bay Area- Chesapeake what up); Columbia College […]

Bwoglines: Although there probably is serious news, Bwog still cares about Jennifer Aniston. In totally unrelated news, the new Daft Punk album, Random Access Memories, leaked yesterday, but if you really love Daft Punk you already have it. Finals Tip: Have sex instead of studying for finals. According to the ever-reliable WebMD, it cures everything but cancer, as if you need a reason. Also […]

Tonight’s second Senior Wisdom: Eva Suarez, who will marry every single one of you. Name, Hometown, School: Eva Suárez, Washington DC, CC Claim to fame? I was the best RA you ever had. Or, the worst. I don’t do anything halfway. Where are you going? Most immediately, I’m moving to Brooklyn and working at a […]

Just as the collective hopes and dreams of Columbia’s campus were being crushed by the weight of finals… ducklings appear. Mama Duck and her dozen or so babies, waddling and quacking their way around the side of Butler today (did these guys get busy?!). Alas! A heavy wind sweeps a few duckling off the ledge, […]

Bwog has gotten a few tips from people who are way too stressed out lately: bwog, i want to cry. And: Lost – Motivation. Not sure where I lost it, I just kind of woke up one morning to find it was gone. Can’t write my papers without it. If found please return. We want […]

I go to Dodge all the time. And when I say Dodge, I mean Dodge Hall, where the Gabe M. Wiener Music & Arts Library is—but I did go to a basketball game once in the more athletic Dodge. The beauty of the music library is precisely in that almost no one knows where it […]

In these times of trial and tribulation, we could all use a little lovin’— and a new service backed by Senior Week hopes to fulfill your long-overdue fantasies of commitment-less sexual encounters via the Internet! CUScramble allows anyone with a UNI (not just class of 2013!) to submit up to 13 UNIs of Columbians they always wanted […]

Next in the never-ending stream of Senior Wisdoms: Natalie Robehmed, a former WBAR staff member who eats beer for dinner and loves a red lighthouse.  Name, Hometown, School: Natalie Robehmed, Dubai, U.A.E., Columbia College (not “the” college.)

Tonight’s second Senior Wisdom: Michael, who’s heading back to the woods, and remembers a very very important Columbia graduation requirement involving the stacks.  Name, Hometown, School: Michael, Wayland, MA, CC Claim to fame? When the weather’s nice I like to sit on the steps at night and play music. Sometimes people stop and listen, which […]

After a week of campus imploding in nearly every way possible (still waiting on a legitimate protest of anything, though) in the midst of finals, Bwog thinks we all need a moment to give into that tingly feeling in the pit of your stomach, lean your head back, and just scream.  That’s right, tonight is […]

The final, May, issue of The Blue and White is on campus just in time for finals. Inside is an interview with Greta Gerwig, BC ’06; the final installment of a series on undergraduate student debt at Columbia; as well as a look at ROTC, years after the controversy. Issues are in Butler and Lerner; PDFs are online. Here, senior editor Will Holt, CC […]

Today fro 5-7 pm in the “main lounge” (we’re not sure either) of Lerner, there will be free apps provided by Lerner Operations–“and not the kind you download,” proving they’re hip with the kids.  With any luck, these treats will include buffchick wings, mozz stix, and tons of fruits&veggies.  No word on the presence of […]

Today’s first Senior Wisdom: Andrea Garcia Vargas of C.U. in Bed fame, who reminds you to take care of yourself and reveals a certain secret room in Butler.  Name, Hometown, School: Andrea García-Vargas; Bogotá, Colombia; Columbia College. Claim to fame? I was the 2012 Spec editorial page editor and then went on to write an […]

You may have realized that Bwog is secretly a huge opera fan.  So when this question landed in our tip form, we were more than happy to find the answer. Dear Bwog, I just heard WKCR is doing a 48 hour broadcast to commemorate Wagner’s bicentennial in a week and a half. Can somebody please […]
