For the past few weeks, rumors have circulated various GroupMes and Slack channels regarding a potential Amigo’s closure—ours included. Several tipsters have approached us panicking about the fate of their margarita OG, with funeral dates as near as a week ago to as far as never gonna happen.  As hardworking, persistent journalists, we at Bwog have tried to get […]

Good morning, Columbia! It’s the last week! The home stretch! The final countdown! Whether you have four more exams or are just finishing up that last essay (or are already home, in which case, why the fuck are you still reading Bwog?), we’re here to love and support you with some good ole fashioned Bwoglines. […]

At the end of every semester, things in Butler get a bit…freaky. Sure, there are those people who don’t shower, those who do shower (in the Butler 2 men’s bathroom), and those who think it’s okay to talk loudly in study spaces. Tangentially, if you do hold a conversation in a Butler room which isn’t a […]

Bwogline: Trump officials have banned CDC officials from using a list of seven words, including “transgender” and “fetus,” in official documents for next year’s budget. (WaPo) Study tip: If you find yourself getting bored with your usual spot in Butler, change up where you’re studying! Cognitive scientists have found that studying in different settings helps memory recall. Bwog has handy lists […]

Ah, Orgo Night. As revealed by CUMB at 11:30 pm, this year’s Orgo Night was back in Butler 209, despite administration previously barring them from performing in the library. If you missed the memo, don’t fret: as per Bwog tradition, we sent Bwog froshies Jenny Zhu and Zack Abrams to review this year’s Orgo Night.  […]

When you can’t count on your physic’s professor’s final curve, at least you can count on CUMB. Tonight, they delivered humor and more in, that’s right, Butler 209! Find this semester’s Orgo Night script below. UPDATE, 12/15/17, 6 pm: This post has been updated to include the final version of the script that was actually read last […]

Earlier today, Bwog received this message from the Columbia University Marching Band, with strict instructions not to release the information contained within until 11:30 pm. In the future, if you wish to address us, please address us with ‘Greetings, Your Undying Majesty’ instead of ‘Hi.’  Hi Bwog, Tonight, Orgo Night will be held in Butler […]

While the study breaks during reading week are incredibly helpful and supportive, at times they can look similar – many of them featuring some classic variation of cookies and hot chocolate. We here at Bwog want to see some study breaks get weird. Here are our suggestions: 1) Columbia time-management-chart-themed study break. This study break […]

From wonderfully wacky Christmas jumpers to the second coming of Christ, Bwogger Roberta Rhyse (who now wishes to be referred to as ‘Special Snowflake 2.0’) was pleasantly surprised and equally confused by XMAS 12’s Tis the Treason. Bwogger Aliya Schneider joined her in laughter the whole time while taking photo documentation of the character’s schticks.   Having never experienced an […]

Do you care about a cappella on campus? Neither do we, but it’s final concert season, and we thought we’d take a look at the different groups on campus who are funded by our student life fees and air out some of our gripes. Disclaimer (added 6:45 pm): This post is entirely satirical, entirely based […]

On a chilly Saturday afternoon, Bwog baby Jenny Zhu decided to break out of Butler for once, brave the first flurries of the Columbia school year, and stop by the Kingsmen K’winter concert. As winter approaches, some inevitable markers of the annual seasons come with it: swaths of new wintry snow, the impending doom of finals […]

Despite our differences, we Columbia students can all agree on one thing – our love for the Tree Lighting Ceremony. But why not share the love? Why limit our happiness to only one crowded, overpopulated event? In honor of the holiday cheer and the unsurprisingly long lines at last week’s Tree Lighting Ceremony, here are three […]
