In which a Bwogger uncovers the one thing the brand spanking new Milstein Center fucked up. Objectively, there is no better place to do work on campus than the Milstein Center.

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!

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 […]

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 […]
