As finals and the end of our semesterly meal plans encroach, Bwog just has one question: Where do the extra swipes go in the wintertime? They migrate southward to warmer temperatures They follow the ducks to wherever the hell they go To the bottom of frozen lakes To the Moon To my Webkinz account :( […]

I’m going to start off this callout post by putting it out there that I appreciate and respect my professors. At the same time, I am an economics major. Eco-nom-ics. Not astrophysics, not applied math, not pre-med, and despite all of Prezbo’s lackluster campaigning, not a STEM major. So imagine my reaction when I enrolled in an […]

Thanksgiving break is over and we’re all back on that grind (or at least attempting to be.) If you need some inspiration in this trying final few weeks of the semester, look no further than Barnard’s fall Phi Beta Kappa inductees from the class of 2019! Fourteen incredible students have been inducted in this preliminary […]

Some spaces on Columbia’s campus are liminal. Some are profane. Some invite a Bwog post by a Barnard writer literally every day. But a few spaces are just downright cursed. This writer, currently nearing the end of her most recent all-nighter on the eighth floor of Butler, believes this space belongs in that third category. […]

Turkey Day is Thursday! This first-year Bwogger has the perfect recipe for the season: Honey-Baked Pears using ingredients gathered strictly from John Jay and Ferris! If you’re on campus over break, why not give them a try? And if you’re headed home, remember that Ferris and John Jay will be here to welcome you with […]

Ever since Nuss closed, we all have been searching for a new place to get delicious bagels from. Living in the city that’s famously known for its bagels sets high standards for the food, but here are a few places in MoHi you can visit to fulfill your needs.  Some good options: Obviously, its Absolute Bagels on […]

If you’ve been inside St. John’s Cathedral, you may have noticed some very strange statues mounted on the pillars near the front part of the transept. They look like ceramic cartoon figures and are simultaneously weird, ghoulish, and adorable. What the hell is going on with them? This staff writer has some theories. I like […]

As you could probably tell from the masses of snow-covered students crowding the lobby of John Jay last night, Columbia Dining hosted their annual Thanksgiving Feast this Thursday in John Jay Dining Hall. One Bwogger decided to attend this event solo yolo, using this opportunity to try some new foods, see some new sights, gain some new […]

On Wednesday, November 14th, Barnard alumna and guitarist, lyricist, and vocalist of Speedy Ortiz, Sadie Dupuis ’11 returned to campus to discuss the release of her new book of poetry, Mouthguard. The event was co-sponsored by Women Poets at Barnard and Dupuis was joined on stage by her college mentor Saskia Hamilton, Professor of English […]

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. We love wholesome content. Dear best friend, When we first met, I was the epitome of conforming to heteronormativity. Throughout high school, I censored how I wanted […]

There are a lot of meanings of the term “PDF.” The classic Portable Document Format consistently makes me happy because it’s usually books and articles I’d otherwise have to buy. 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 […]

Happening in the World: Prime Minister Theresa May won the support of the U.K. Cabinet yesterday to move forward with her plans to implement Britain’s exit from the European Union. She now must gain Parliament’s approval, where she has less political support. (NY Times) Happening in the US: The judge in CNN’s lawsuit against the […]

Procrastinating course planning until 10 mins before your registration appointment? Same. Bwog has you covered so you don’t have to make a new post in the first year Facebook group on Thursday morning. Note: the following reviews were compiled from the Class of 2022 Facebook group and Bwog Staff members. Please actually read the course […]

Who else can’t believe registration begins tomorrow?? Instead of clicking through Wikipedia pages about different dog breeds, we decided to procrastinate our pile of homework by compiling last year’s seniors’ favorite classes as mentioned in their Senior Wisdoms. Scroll through for potential electives, major credits, or at the very least, a good core professor. Course titles are bolded; […]
