Hello! It’s snowing! It’s the time of year when people from the Northeast and Midwest say things like “this isn’t even REAL snow!” and “I was born in an igloo, I eat popsicles in blizzards for fun, and my first car was a snow plow.” (Disclaimer: I’m from the Northeast.) To celebrate, here’s “Neither Snow,” a […]

Many people feel they undergo a “transformation” their first semester freshman year. This Bwogger wrote a thank you letter to their best friend who helped them through this process.

Apparently, it also stands for Pretty Damn Funky, which sounds like something only middle-aged dads say, and the Panamanian Defense Force, which is good to know in […]

As we approach Thanksgiving, here are some ways that you can show your appreciation to the hardworking people who keep our dorms from falling apart. Say hi to facilities when they’re on […]

Last week, Columbia’s Blue Glaze Theatre Company – a student-run theatre group which aims to highlight Asian-American talent – put on 99 Women, a play composed of 99 monologues that document the trials and tribulations of modern womanhood.

It’s finally fall. The weather is getting colder, daylight savings has begun, the leaves are changing colors, and the lights are starting to go up on the trees on college walk. But most importantly, the decorative gourds are coming out. “What does that mean?” you may ask. Well, at Bwog, decorative gourd season can only […]

Emily Wilson, whose translation of Homer’s Odyssey replaced Lattimore’s edition on the Literature Humanities syllabus this year, visited Columbia on Wednesday night for a lecture. Editor in Chief Youngweon Lee and Newsletter Editor Zoe Sottile attended.  It’s become something of a trope of profiles on women artists/ leaders/people to comment on what they wear. Awareness […]
