During their first two weeks on campus, Freshpeople got the chance to try the Columbia dining halls for the very first time. New Bwogger Solomia Dzhaman rounded up some of their hottest dining takes for you to enjoy.

Yeah, sure, there are a lot of sucky things about what we fondly call “shopping period” – adding yourself to 257-people waitlists, attending seven classes in two days, and all the while experiencing a profound existential crisis.

On her very first day at Columbia, Bwog baby and new writer, Victoria, makes a very terrible, no-good mistake.

On Monday, Columbia GSAPP invited Shohei Shigematsu to speak for this semester’s premier lecture. A partner of the Office of Metropolitan Architecture (OMA), Shigematsu spoke about the generational gap between him and his colleagues, his concern over Godzilla coming for their creations, and his idea for designing the next ten-dollar bill. Baby Bwogger Reyna Choi reports.

ESC is back and the same as ever, with a strangely authoritative twist!

Every Monday, Bwog Staff shares tidbits of what occurred in our lives that past week. Each member of Bwog Staff handled their first week of classes a different way.

Welcome to BwogAnswers, a new weekly series! Each week, we answer a question from our readers about Columbia. Leave us a question, or a response to this week’s Q, down in the comments!

Here is a list of my enemies (disclaimer: it is in jest):

Yesterday we told you about why you should be a daily editor, and today we’ll tell you why should become a staff writer.

The weather has been kinda shitty for the past couple days. Here’s Bwoglines to take your mind off it.

An anonymous Bwog staffer has found the best place to yell, and s/he wants to share these findings with you.

On a day to day basis, our Bwog email inboxes get bombarded by a lot of spam emails. 

This Bwog Staffer is locked in a perpetual battle with being locked out of their Plimpton suite. 

Like High School Musical put it so articulately, this could be the start of something new (and by something new, we mean the new semester)!

It’s day 3 of NSOP, which means it’s also day 3 of Carman shindigs, EC get-together’s, and Mel’s-o-Clock, oh my!
