If you were to read the January 27, 2013 brunch menu for John Jay Dining Hall, you would find that the dishes served were not all that different from the cuisine provided by John Jay today. January 27’s menu offered the familiar John Jay plain pancakes, the made-to-order omelette line, the obligatory dishes of beans and a fancy […]

Intoxication for a general requirement we’d rather not fulfill isn’t something foreign to Bwog staff. Last night, one Bwoggie channeled her inner Jenny Slate and got high as the stars for her Astronomy lab. It all started when someone recommended that I watched Jenny Slate talking with Seth Meyers about going to her astronomy lab […]

In some lectures, you need to pay close attention to every moment. In others, you need to struggle to keep from running out the door screaming. Many literature classes at this school are closer to that second one; as intelligent as our peers may be and as hard as our professors might work to keep […]

Tonight. 9 PM. Lerner 510. You know the drill. We will see you there for a wonderful, hilarious, passionate discussion about our school, our writing, our aspirations in life — you know how the rest goes. Snacks, like usual, will be provided. Take a study break, and come to Bwog’s weekly open meeting!     […]

Six whole weeks have passed since arriving on campus, allowing us to gain a good sense of what we can and can’t stand about our roommates. Whether they’re your BFFs or a group of randos, you’ve definitely figured out who doesn’t wash dishes, who pees with the door open, and who has rough Tuesday night […]

Homecoming isn’t only great for its questionably bandwagon display of school spirit and the darties beforehand. In honor of homecoming, free beer will be served to seniors outside Baker Athletics Complex! You’ll probably need to show a valid senior student ID in order to be served, so just be warned. That is all.

On Thursday evening, Staff Writers Jack Treanor and Lexie Lehmann had the pleasure to attend a completely sold out event with Jhumpa Lahiri, BC ‘89 and Barnard Professor Hisham Matar (both Pulizer Prize winners!) They strolled in past the line of 200+, Diana pizzas in hand, and were conveniently placed next to Spec. Classic. Here’s […]

Students have been hit with a barrage of fire alarms in the past 48 hours: 4 times in EC. 3 times in McBain. Once in Carman. And the JJ’s sprinkler system is malfunctioning. The latest false alarm happened minutes ago in EC. Is the stress of midterms causing people to toke up at 3:30am on a […]

At 8 pm tonight, the Tommy Robinson talk organized by CUCR began in Roone Arledge Auditorium. Tommy Robinson is the founder of the right-wing English Defense League, and is widely considered to be a white supremacist. He was expected to speak about “Europe and mass immigration.” Protests began over an hour before the event started, with students […]

Flu season is coming, and with it comes Columbia’s infamous free flu shot fairs. (Note: if you are a Barnard student, don’t go to the Columbia one – they won’t take you.) This year, Bwog decided that the best way to convince the Columbia community at large to make sure to get properly inoculated was to share […]

This year’s Anchor Splash served up some nostalgia alongside its heavy helpings of raunchy and humorous dance moves. Delta Gamma’s fundraiser for its philanthropy, Service for Sight, was a success despite the dry venue. This year’s exercises, partly due to the hardworking and talent of Kate Barrett, former Bwogger and Director of Anchor Splash, dazzled. Bwog takes you […]

Tonight. 9 PM. Lerner 510. Bwog will be having our weekly meeting. Bring your roommate, your significant other, your teddy bear, but most importantly, yourself, and join us as we discuss pitches and snack snack snack! We get it– it’s midterm season. But let’s be real, if we hypothetically said that we would never leave […]

While statuesque, noble Alma Mater might just be the furthest thing from basic, we can all still dream about what she’d be like if she was just an ordinary student of Columbia University like us. As a student, Alma would be the type of girl whose rinsta is 100% filled with professional-looking snapshots: her and some intellectual pals next to the […]

In the age before Pinterest, some of the original DIYers were 19th-century soldiers who repurposed fabric from old military uniforms to create some unique, dynamic quilts. New York’s very own American Folk Art Museum, just a short hop on the One train from Columbia itself, currently hosts an exhibit displaying some of these recovered quilts. Bwoggers […]

Warning: this post includes uncensored pictures of actual real-life disgusting communal bathrooms, including unflushed toilets and lots of hair. Do not scroll down or click on the jump if you’re eating or something, or just don’t want to see them. Communal bathrooms are disgusting, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Theoretically, if every […]
