Bwoglines: Children are returning to school this week in Anchorage, Alaska following the 7.0 magnitude earthquake that hit the city on November 3oth. Parents worry about aftershocks as their children return to school, especially considering much of the initial damage still needs repairing. State support for Anchorage schools has decreased in recent years, and the […]

SGA Rep Council met last night. Well, some of it at least. Barnard Bureau Chief Dassi Karp most certainly was present, though. Check out her recap below! Remember yesterday? Before reading week began, before the existential dread that comes with finals set in? Before you started guessing every choice you’ve made all semester, analyzing every […]

Staff writer Jordan Merrill is angry. I want to make something very clear: I had a M-I-D-T-E-R-M on the last day of classes. It says so right on the syllabus, and it makes me question whether my professor knows what the word “midterm” actually meads. In Latin, “mid” roughly translates to “middle of the” and […]

Welcome to finals season!! This is your first Bwog In Bed. Bwogline: Benoît (Ben) Lecomte, 51, stepped ashore in Hawaii more than 6 months after entering the water in Japan in an attempt to swim across the Pacific ocean. His goal is to swim from Japan to San Francisco via the Great Pacific Garbage Patch to […]

I wish this damn moth would go away. From the second I popped on, to the tune of some a cappella group singing some song no one can hear anyway, it’s just been hovering around me and my friends. It just won’t leave us alone! No matter where we go (which, admittedly, is nowhere) this […]

Bwog found time to enjoy their last weekend before finals, and we hope you did too!

Not sure if you noticed, but it’s cold and dark and it will never be warm again. Managing Editor Zack Abrams has more.  The sun has forsaken us. Her light and her heat have departed this earth. I’m not sure what did it; maybe it was the Cardi/Offset breakup that led the sun to declare […]

Because Bwogger Miyoki Walker is as committed as student journalists get, she has again decided to put her health on the line for her art. This time, she’s decided to spend a week trying any and all available desserts at Ferris even though no one asked her to. Here are the results. Day 1 Carrot […]

In honor of there only being one day of classes this week, there are only two sports in this weeks recap, brought to you by Sports Editor Abby Rubel. Swimming and Diving: Women’s swimming and diving defeated Princeton 160-140 on Friday, handing the Tigers their first dual-meet loss of the season. The Lions won 11 […]

It’s time for a regime change! Ohーnot really? Well, close enough. Last night, CCSC appointed a lot of people to replace the flakes and haters who are leaving CCSC next semester (e.g. those are studying abroad or understandably tired). Along the way, they addressed some important issues. Nadra Rahman reports. Last night, CCSC opened up […]

Happening in the World: Beyonce graced herself at the wedding of India’s richest man’s daughter’s wedding in Udaipur, India. Beyonce performed at the wedding ceremony of Isha Ambani, the daughter of Mukesh Ambani, who tied the knot with Anand Piramal, son of another Indian billionaire. Happening in the US: Yet another snowstorm that has hit […]

My sweet angel Jenny has already written a goodbye post for the old board, but it only seems fitting that the outgoing Editor in Chief also write a farewell post of sorts. My tenure on Bwog’s editorial board for the past year and as Editor in Chief for the past semester (and the summer, I […]

One chronically sober Bwogger decided to do the observational work no one asked for – field notes from a college party. Upon editing, she acknowledges that any academic objectivity was never really an option to begin with. She is not an anthropology or sociology major, and she acknowledges that this probably doesn’t even count as […]
