On Thursday evening, Staff Writers Jack Treanor and Lexie Lehmann had the pleasure to attend a completely sold out event with Jhumpa Lahiri, BC ‘89 and Barnard Professor Hisham Matar (both Pulizer Prize winners!) They strolled in past the line of 200+, Diana pizzas in hand, and were conveniently placed next to Spec. Classic. Here’s […]

Students have been hit with a barrage of fire alarms in the past 48 hours: 4 times in EC. 3 times in McBain. Once in Carman. And the JJ’s sprinkler system is malfunctioning. The latest false alarm happened minutes ago in EC. Is the stress of midterms causing people to toke up at 3:30am on a […]

At 8 pm tonight, the Tommy Robinson talk organized by CUCR began in Roone Arledge Auditorium. Tommy Robinson is the founder of the right-wing English Defense League, and is widely considered to be a white supremacist. He was expected to speak about “Europe and mass immigration.” Protests began over an hour before the event started, with students […]

Flu season is coming, and with it comes Columbia’s infamous free flu shot fairs. (Note: if you are a Barnard student, don’t go to the Columbia one – they won’t take you.) This year, Bwog decided that the best way to convince the Columbia community at large to make sure to get properly inoculated was to share […]

This year’s Anchor Splash served up some nostalgia alongside its heavy helpings of raunchy and humorous dance moves. Delta Gamma’s fundraiser for its philanthropy, Service for Sight, was a success despite the dry venue. This year’s exercises, partly due to the hardworking and talent of Kate Barrett, former Bwogger and Director of Anchor Splash, dazzled. Bwog takes you […]

Bring your roommate, your significant other, your teddy bear, but most importantly, yourself, and join us as we discuss pitches and snack snack snack! We get it– it’s midterm season. But let’s be real, if we hypothetically said that we would never leave […]

While statuesque, noble Alma Mater might just be the furthest thing from basic, we can all still dream about what she’d be like if she was just an ordinary student of Columbia University like us. As a student, Alma would be the type of girl whose rinsta is 100% filled with professional-looking snapshots: her and some intellectual pals next to the […]

In the age before Pinterest, some of the original DIYers were 19th-century soldiers who repurposed fabric from old military uniforms to create some unique, dynamic quilts. New York’s very own American Folk Art Museum, just a short hop on the One train from Columbia itself, currently hosts an exhibit displaying some of these recovered quilts. Bwoggers […]

Warning: this post includes uncensored pictures of actual real-life disgusting communal bathrooms, including unflushed toilets and lots of hair. Do not scroll down or click on the jump if you’re eating or something, or just don’t want to see them. Communal bathrooms are disgusting, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Theoretically, if every […]

As the semester kicks into full gear and more and more of us begin heading downtown (or uptown) for internships and other positions, it becomes almost inevitable that you’ll be faced with a day when you need to eat on your commute. To help you choose what to grab from your cupboard on that morning when […]

Ever wonder what the weird shit people put in their Venmo description means? Well, you’re in luck! New Bwogger, Megan Wylie, has worked tirelessly to investigate what the emoji really means… what the slang really means… what the fuck it really means… We’ve all been there: You wake up sluggishly on a Saturday morning, scarred […]

Ahh, philosophy class. For those who have braved the icy lecture halls speckled with the seemingly all-knowing international students, these lec-seminars seem to bring out the most in CU students. There are plenty of things that happen all too frequently; take a shot when…………. The professor asks for a simple example of anything and someone brings […]

Tonight, 9pm, Lerner 510. We hope to see you at Bwog’s weekly meeting! Not only will you get to hang out with some of Morningside’s finest, but you’ll also be able to eat your worries away with some delicious TJs goodies. Like usual, we’ll be discussing pitches, passing around snacks, and getting on with business. We love […]

If electric guitars, authentic Saharawi music, or riveting cinematography excite the neurons in your body, this announcement just may be for you. Alum Cyrus Moussavi, CC ’09, is on an east coast tour with the legendary Group Doueh (pronounced “Doo-way”) from the Western Sahara. The band is playing tomorrow (September 29th) at (Le) Poisson Rouge at 7:30 […]
