Remember: STI = sexually transmitted infection. Blue Java Cafe = Yeast Infection. Technically not an STI, but we are including it. Not […]

Lucy Danger (who loves Call Me By Your Name and Timotheé Chalamet, mostly unironically) and Idris O’Neill (who hasn’t seen it, doesn’t care to, and just wants to make fun of him) contributed to this post. If you loved Call Me By Your Name (or Lady Bird) as much as I did, you probably know that […]

A week into the semester, Bwog received a tip from a concerned reader asking a very topical and important question: how many antidepressant prescriptions are filled at the Duane Reade by campus? Wanting to get to the bottom of the scoop, one Staff Writer decided to put her humanities major to good use and determine the definitive, […]

Dear Columbia students taking more than twenty credits: It’s not worth it. All six of those classes may seem interesting now, but just think of how exhausted you’ll be in a few weeks when midterms season hits and you have three exams, two papers, and a presentation all within five days of each other. Today […]

JJ’s: home of fried food, lines longer than those for the Hamilton elevator, and more often than not, encounters we wish we would have forgotten in the morning. We collected a bunch of Bwogger’s strangest JJ’s stories; be sure to put yours in the comments! JJ’s forces friendships “One time my friends and I all […]

Ever thought about cooking, but were scared that you might be the next unfortunate soul that sets their dorm on fire?

Well, fasten your bikini-bod […]

“I live in shame, a whore awash in sewage.” -Dante/Me, standing by as someone pees in the dishwasher. Though we all encounter the 9 circles of hell when we read Dante’s Inferno, there is a more familiar wretched zone that Vergil doesn’t tell us about: EC. The journey from campus to EC on a Friday night can be […]

Last night, historian John McMillian spoke in the first in a series of events, co-sponsored by the Grolier Club and the Lehman Center for American History, that will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Columbia protests in April 1968. His talk, “The Sixties Underground Press and the Rise of Alternative Media in America” was just […]

Recently, this unfortunate Bwogger enrolled in a class that meets Mondays and Wednesdays on the seventh floor of Hamilton Hall. After constantly forgoing the 20-minute elevator wait in favor of hiking up all six flights of stairs instead, she realized that the seven floors of Hamilton are perhaps best encapsulated by the seven stages of grief.

If you’ve attempted to load Bwog on any phone, computer, or really anything at any point, you’ve probably noticed that our website is a little bit unique; it’s challenging both to navigate and to edit. As a result, we are constantly in need of CS experts to fight through the mess of our WordPress code and ensure […]

If you find yourself bored, lonely, and hungry tonight with nowhere specific to go (which we know you will), do us both a huge favor and stop by at Bwog’s first open meeting of the year today, 9 PM, in Lerner 510. There will be outrageous pitches, there will be laughter, there will be […]

Oprah’s possible candidacy for the presidency got us thinking about what celebrities would be fit to take over from PrezBo when he finally retires to a fancy Caribbean island with his Audi.  Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen: Prepare for trouble & make it double. Could teach two classes per semester instead of just one. Shailene Woodley: […]
