Cancun = ESFP. Flashy, cheap, but fun. No […]

The performance was incredibly accomplished for its short time frame (about 35 […]

After spending an inordinate time in Butler this week to study for her midterms, this Bwogger has noticed that each person she shares a study desk usually falls under one of these following archetypes. Here are her observations: The Eater. The Eater likes to open loud bags of chips, or paper-wrapped sandwiches, or maybe is shoveling a full-on, […]

An appreciation post for the soundtrack at the best dining hall on campus. We’ve all been there. Squashed in between angsty adolescents, skin on skin, mouths rife with hunger and thirst. It’s hot, and you can vaguely smell ranch dressing and mandarin oranges. Gasolina by Daddy Yankee is playing loudly, its fervent bass shaking your […]

Hinkson explained that “a Columbia student who had signed in as a guest of a Barnard student entered the room of another student, without permission and in […]

This buttery, flaky salmon is the easiest and most luxurious weeknight meal you will ever make. I used to make it with my ex-boyfriend, and not even our breakup could taint this recipe for me! Serve it with roasted veggies or rice.  Roasted Salmon (adapted from Mark Bittman) Ingredients 4 tablespoons (½ stick) butter, or […]

Are you interested in wind band music? Do you want to support music education in NYC public schools? Do you like the shape of a triangle?

What happened to the Fat Men of Broadway?   Did they leave us For better places? Or rust in their metal skin and hollow eyes. Do they miss us, as I miss them? Or enjoy the freedom The MoHi bubble will never grant. Maybe they followed the DSpar path And left us for Lincoln Center. Or are […]

Fresh off the heels of beloved restaurant Amigos, yet another MoHi familiar face is closing down soon. This time, it’s Rite-Aid on 110th – an institution that for years has provided us with well-priced prescription medicines, bars of soap, and friendly, sassy staff workers. We hope that these memories, shared by friends, students, and alums alike, will help […]

In the midst of finals and second-semester senior stress, those who received the e-mail (AT 8AM) were affronted with the possibility of having to eat at Diana for another semester. One […]
