After another summer, heading into another semester, many of us have come to a certain stark realization: not only will college not last forever, but also, when we leave this bubble above 114th, we will need to figure out what our next stage will entail. Join Senior Staff Writer Gabrielle Kloppers as she explores one […]

The Activities Fair is a magical time. The sound of taiko drums and the rush of enthusiastic students combine in the air to form some kind of drug that possess students to sign up for both Bible study and Torah study. Whether or not you wanted to, you may have been swindled into signing up […]

It’s hard to deny that New York is an expensive place – it seems as though, in order to do anything fun in the city, one must have unlimited time and money. Bwog strongly disagrees, and Staff Writer Jack Treanor is here to help with a fun, easy-to-follow itinerary that will save you money. 10:30 […]

New York City is packed with amazing culture and inspiring art, but sometimes it’s difficult to break the Morningside-bubble and experience it all first-hand. “Where Art Thou” is a weekly guide to interesting and notable lectures, events, and performances for the literary/musically/theatrically-inclined on campus. Since classes just started, there aren’t any student performances happening for […]

Howdy. Are you interested in GS politics? Do you like student news? Can you fit five grapes in your mouth at once? If you answered yes to one or three of these questions, you should definitely, 100%, without a doubt, join Bwog. We’re looking for a cool cat to cover the weekly GSSC meetings that take […]

Happening around the world: Hurricane Irma is continuing to wreak havoc on the Caribbean, and Hurricane Jose is close behind. Neil Dickinson and his company of two helicopters are attempting to evacuate the island of Bermuda of children, the sick, and the elderly (about 1,600 people) in between these two storms. (Bloomberg) Happening in the nation: Former Secretary […]

Beginning this school year, Columbia changed its dining hours to provide students on meal plans with 24 hour access to campus dining halls. This created a wave of excitement to students across all four colleges, but Barnard’s complicated bureaucracy has brought limitations to students’ access. We began to hear about Barnard students who attempted to eat JJ’s […]

Every semester, theater nerds and musicians alike count down to one fateful hour: 1 pm on the first Friday of classes, when the Columbia student Ticket and Information Center (affectionately abbreviated “the TIC”) opens its doors. This office sells discounted tickets to a vast number of arts performances in NYC throughout the semester; although all […]

For the first time in at least two years, the annual CU Activities Fair will be taking place on a day that isn’t hot and stanky. Today’s high is 75 with clear skies, which means there is no excuse for why we shouldn’t see you all out there! We’ll be sharing a table with our […]

Happening Around the World:  A deadly mag. 8.2 earthquake struck Mexico around 11:50pm local time. Officials issued and later revoked a tsunami warning. (BBC) Happening in the nation: Betsy DeVos announced at George Mason University yesterday that she is rolling back former President Obama’s rules on title IX and investigating campus sexual assault cases, as it was “unfair […]

It’s not news to anyone that textbooks are ridiculously expensive – a beginning-of-the-semester trip to the Columbia Bookstore can cost as much as a bulk shopping trip to Costco, and that’s just criminal. In order to help you pinch some pennies this fall, editor Betsy Ladyzhets has compiled a list of places where you can […]

It takes a lot of nerve to write in the Bible, the most commented-on book of all time. It takes even more nerve to write in a Butler Stacks copy of a book that doesn’t belong to you. Head the Stacks 8, and you’ll find books defiled by the ballsiest students on campus. In Butler’s […]

Welcome to our first Bwog Video! Brought to you by Camille Ramos (’20), we plan on continuing to deliver relatable, interesting content to Columbia through yet another form of multimedia. We’re pioneering our new platform with a video of y’all telling us why you hate our site. Come to our first meeting this Sunday in […]

Things you won’t regret doing: Dropping that insanely hard CS class that you thought you should take to “challenge yourself.” Staring at your phone to avoid eye contact with your ex that you thought graduated last year. Getting drunk as hell tonight because you made it through the first week! Things you will regret doing: […]

Happening in the world: Protests have erupted in cities all over Togo, as thousands of people took their discontent with President Faure Gnassingbe to the streets. President Gnassingbe has held the position for 50 years, and the current opposition is demanding changes to the constitution, specifically the voting system currently in place.
