Who’s been leaving shit in all of the Sulz 6 toilets? We don’t know, but Bwogstaff has some words for them. Dear the worst human on earth, Let me begin this by saying fuck you, jerk. I have a lot of tolerance, but walking into the gender-neutral bathroom, which I go into for the sake […]

Recently, we’ve noticed a new addition to the Butler bathrooms on the second floor: these weird little gray tables, attached to the stall walls.

Benefit: Your attendance is impeccable. You always go to class and you’re extremely punctual. Cost: You can never pay attention in class. Instead, you count […]

So, in classic Bwog tradition, we took the past few Columbia Crushes posts and generated some of […]

A new Bwogger from Barnard is getting really tired of people asking her why she chose a women’s college.
