Breaking: College student discovers ability to snack instead of eat meals  John Jay is practically the new Whole Foods, except for its lack of organic food. Oh, and the whole rats and failed health inspection thing. Spec’s photography columnist so minimalist. Was “Nada Surf ‘2.0’” really an “entirely different beast”? Was it?

So, what are you doing next year? Teach For America will make you an offer you can’t refuse. Merrell Hambleton sat down to hear TFA alumni discus their two years of elementary school bliss. TFA pencils and Columbia Catering cookies abounded at last night’s Teach For America Alumni Panel. But interested students were a little […]

    A tipster just emailed to say that at 9:30 tonight there will be free Indian Cafe food in 304 Hamilton, courtesy of the Blue Key Society.  Get your knives and sporks!

Got a flair for writing narcissistic melodrama? The New York Times’ Modern Love is looking for college-age students to write about “what love is now.” Sample response provided by website: “I’m this century’s answer to the last-minute prom date: the gay best friend.” Ooh, edgy! Zeitgeist-y! So get to work, tortured yet insightful essayists. Winner […]

A very special Bwog report on the Westminster Dog show from canine correspondent Emily Cheesman.  Dogs just make everybody so happy. I’ve gone to the Westminster Dog Show, the Mecca of canine pageantry, for two years in a row and I can say that the world of purebred dogs and the people who love them […]

The soap opera scene (and all of the many glories associated with it – remember The Gates?) has made a triumphant return to Columbia with the brand-spanking new release of The Exclusion Suite, touted by its creator as “Columbia’s newest dramatic web-TV series.”  From the looks of it, The Exclusion Suite is off to a […]

Bwog will even front the $10 (a 100% increase from last year’s $5!) for you and your new love to go on a date. Hurry though, Valentine’s Day […]

RAs chained to their rooms, ten pound ball style, seriously Mark Zuckerberg and Jeremy Bentham, love-buddies. Wait, no Pinnacle? Wheat, no Nussbaum and Wu? Meet me on the Champ-Elysees of New York. Oh wait, you can’t. You’re an RA. It’s all about the Ivy League and the Cotton Club. 

The latest installment from faithful NYU correspondent W.M. Akers, in which our diarist recites a history of the Square’s chess-playing past. The recently commenced construction on Washington Square has consumed the middle of the park, disrupting the walking and sitting that are so important a part of NYU life. But it has been arranged to […]

Have you ever rolled into da club wishin’ that you could rep Fair Alma?  Now you can sport the most intellectual ice you could dream of thanks to Columbia Jewelry, a company started by Columbia alumnus and visual arts major Philip Ehrlich, GS ’88.  Ehrlich’s styles are limited mostly to lions and crowns– however, these […]

Barnard, CCSC and Spec may entice their most willing and bored with chances to win a free iPod for participating in online surveys. But usually chances are low, and who wants to spend five minutes towards an iPod that you might not even win? Not SEAS!  SEAS students, when they participate in the deliciously-acronymed APPLES […]

Like it or not (and you probably don’t), the unstoppable frustrated mess that is Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. And with it, bags of pink and pretty candy have already hit stores. The most iconic mid-February sweet is perhaps the Candy Heart, the mostly gross and chalky tiny hearts with zeitgeist-y sayings like “Page Me” […]

Not quite Eyes Wide Shut, but close enough. A more appropriate REM song title reference is perhaps On The Street Where You Live. Infinite regression alert!  If this generation really is Post-Everything, then isn’t it also Post-Post?  And Post-Post-Post? I drink your milkshake! I drink it up!

Bwog cultural correspondent Mariela Quintana heads to Chinatown for the Chinese New Year Parade. Standing on the corner of Bayard and Mott yesterday afternoon, I could see Chinese and American flags flapped in the air.  Red and gold banners hung overhead.  Knots of people snaked through narrow streets.  Parents perched their kids precariously on their […]
