The twin actresses who played Pebbles in the Flintstones movie go to Columbia! And now Bwog has that stupid song in its head.    UPDATE: They’re in SEAS. And they’re girls. And they’re in SEAS.

If you hurry you can catch Battles playing at the South Street Seaport. First-years: might be a nice alternative to open mic night in Lerner.  

One of our favorites from Orientation 2006. It’s your first day at Columbia. Mom and Dad just drove back to New Jersey, and you are ready to celebrate your newfound freedom. But wait. Shit! You’ve heard that Columbia is an awful party school. They say the only fun thing to do here is cocaine, but […]

This time last year, Bwog elder statesmen Marc Tracy and Avi Zenilman invited underformers to reconsider their college decisions. The verdict: in retrospect, most other places are just as weird as Columbia, but in different ways. (Except Yale, which is weird in ways all its own.) This year, Dan D’Addario opens the debate once more. […]

A Bwog Contest! The student able to create the best Lolprof, Lolbollinger, Lolhavel, or Lolmatthewcfox (or any other variation) will win $20 to Chipoltle! (For those of you unfamiliar with Lolcats, this Slate tutorial is a must-read.) Send submissions to bwgossip@columbia.edu before September 4th at midnight.

James DeWille’s guide to nightlife was so awesome that it broke Bwog yesterday. Regardless, we’re going to repost it – happy clubbing. So you`ve arrived to Columbia fresh from Michigan, Delaware, or wherever your shiny new fake I.D. tells you, and you`re ready to take on the town.  Here´s a week`s worth of the best […]

As you first-years will soon discover, your social life at Columbia will depend mostly on the kindness of bouncers at various bars between 107th (Ding Dong) and 123rd (Max SoHa). These tireless soldiers who guard the gates to $4 beers understand that you are not 21. (The centimeter and a half-long patches of facial hair […]

Harold noticed something wonderful outside the 92nd st. Equinox today:  

Sometimes, for the broke college student, whoring yourself out to paid psychology experiments just doesn’t cut it. To offer some assistance in your job search, we bring you dispatches from five students who tell all about their various engagements in the world of campus employment, work-study and beyond. Compiled by Maryam Parhizkar. The Library Assistant […]

Look who came by again! Why, it’s BwogDog Harold! Hi! Here’s a video of me going down a slide! I’m pretty curious sometimes!               I have to run to Equinox! Bye guys!                

NSOP did away with the cannabis reference as they resurrected the BlaZe — last year’s experimental cross-campus relay event —  for the 2011 set. Bwoggers Sara Vogel and Ellen Kessel were embedded with the troops on the new, PC-polished “Take One: Ultimate Team Challenge” and filed this report: Surrounded by Orientation Leaders baiting their charges […]

Meet Calvin Sun, president of Asian American Alliance (which we believe to be the genesis of this little venture), vice president of the class of 2008, breakdancer, bartender, biochem major, and now MTV star. You’ll probably see him wandering around Lerner shirtless one of these days. Do not be alarmed, he’s quite harmless. What is […]

Zach van Schouwen tips off Bwog on a Facebook revelation: Top Movies in the Columbia Network 1. Fight Club 2. Love Actually 3. Zoolander 4. The Big Lebowski 5. Shawshank Redemption  All pretty standard, except for number 2. What, was Four Weddings and a Funeral too edgy?  

OK, not really. We don’t feel like rehashing Spec’s summary of recent brouhahas, which is a rehash of last year’s article on the subject (plus the Minuteman thing, which prompted this must-read). But they missed the older ones, which are sort of important to understanding everything that comes after. Ancient History (1968) This is where […]

If orientation is just a little too lame for you, check out these cultural events happening around the city. How would you like to remember your first week of Columbia? Pie eating or museums and films? Bwog staffer Lucy Tang shows you how.  Saturday, September 1 3 pm – P.S. 1 Warm Up   Twisted […]
