This weekend was one for the books, friends. Whether you wound up covered in glitter, sweat your ass off at Sig Chi, or just stayed in to avoid the cold, it seems Bwog has covered all the bases. Check out this weekend’s field notes. Beauty is pain: Bruised the bottom of my feet from jumping […]

For the past few weeks, you’ve probably seen lots of Facebook posts from your sophomore friends with their cute little “I declared!” pins. (If they’re Barnard, at least. CC/SEAS/GS kids don’t get pins. I know, I know, I’m sad too.) You’ve also probably felt lots of different feelings about these posts… anything from “that’s my major, […]

According to the registrar’s office, today is Midterm Day, meaning we’ve officially made it halfway through our semester. This comes as surprising news for some, but it feels like about fucking time for others. The chandelier in Ref is definitely one of these others, as it, like the rest of us, appears to be quite burnt out. […]

If you are like Bwog, too excited to study without looking at your phone every 10 minutes yet too anxious to actually relax and wait for Spring Break… Come to Lerner 505, at 7 pm for Bwog’s meeting tonight! We swear we won’t bite! photo from vet street

This afternoon, Barnard students received their final email from Debora Spar. After nine years of serving as the college’s president, she will continue her career as the CEO and president of the Lincoln Center. It won’t be until sometime next fall when Barnard sees another permanent president; until then COO Rob Goldberg will temporarily take her place. […]

Staff Writer Gloriana Lopez and Guest Writer Abby Rubel have seen a lot of basketball at Columbia, and they’ve seen a lot of fans. The two of them discuss the divide perpetuated between athletes and their fans. Luke Petrasek is flawless. He has two Fendi purses and a silver Lexus. I hear his hair’s insured for […]

Everyone loves hugs. That’s a fact. If you think you don’t love hugs, you’re wrong. You probably just don’t like hugs from strangers or something. Or people around you just don’t know how to give good, proper hugs. I saw the perfect hug outside of Butler 209 the other day. It made me feel happy for […]

We’re almost halfway done with the semester, and our notes have gradually been getting worse and worse. As midterms barrel on, Bwog’s here to share some of the best, weirdest, or most confusing things we’ve written over the course of the semester. “What’s the difference between Cicero and Montaigne’s bowel movements?” “You are human bondage […]

GSSC is back with Romane Thomas! They covered the integration of Dual BAers, CUFSN, GS week, and more during this week’s meeting.  Last night GSSC gave us co-sponsorships and promises meditation sessions and insomnia cookies. President Larosa started off the meeting by reminding the council that election season was starting today with the information session […]

I don’t even think it bears repeating, but let’s just say that this weekend was weird. Like, weird. Random, drunk, and weird. Check out this weekend’s field notes.  Spur of the moment:  Went to Claire’s to get an impromptu ear piercing and realized I didn’t have my real state ID to prove I was over […]

Good morning, Columbia! Only two more weeks until Spring Break! We can do it! Just keep pushing on! Happening in the nation: In case you didn’t notice, the Oscars were last night… And there was one hell of a Steve Harvey moment. Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty got caught in an envelope mix-up and accidentally announced […]

We love NYU, and we think they’re great, but sometimes our NYU friends like to remind us that we live in an area of town where you can find half of the school’s population in exactly 2 bars on a Saturday night, while they’re downtown roaming around Greenwich Village. (At least my NYU friends do. […]

After crying over the Lions’ consecutive 4 losses, basketball fan and guest writer Gloriana Lopez decided to crunch more numbers than she ever did when she was in SEAS in hopes of finding a way to stop suffering and make the Lions win their games this weekend against Penn and Princeton. She figured out that […]
