The final presidential debate happened on Wednesday night, and that’s about enough said about that. (New York Times) California’s attorney general has begun an investigation into Wells Fargo after the company received allegations of identity theft.

Between International and Liquors on La Salle, Columbia students have limited options when it comes to where they can buy their alcohol. Enter the three self-titled ‘Mead Meisters’: homebrew enthusiasts and free-spirits set on providing the Columbia community with the opportunity to join a ‘mead club’ for a small monthly ‘contribution.’ Two Bwoggers sat down with the […]

And just when you thought the Trumps couldn’t possibly disparage the Bush family anymore after this election cycle, Melania went public today blaming Trump’s ‘boy talk’ remarks from the leaked tape on Billy Bush. In response, the internet made the hashtag, #billybushmademedoit, trend. (CNN) To the two environmental biology majors out there, you can take heart in […]

With fall looking more like an extended summer or California winter right now, it’s easy for us all to slip into oblivion to avoid the heat and mid-terms. We just want to wear our oversized sweaters in peace! Too hot to handle Boyfriend and I accidentally ordered a huge pitcher of sangria at 6:30pm. Ended our evening […]

We thought Columbia Athletics giving out free beer at the St. Francis game must have been the epitome of our wonderful institution attempting to persuade to actually have any semblance of pride in its activities. We thought CCSC, ESC, SGA, and ESSC were done trying to support the administration and its myriad of flaws. We thought Columbia […]

This past Saturday, Alpha Chi Omega sorority hosted their annual fall philanthropy event, ‘Runway Warriors 2016: Storm.’ […]

As Election Day slowly approaches, it seems like the Trump campaign is crumbling. A dozen of sexual assault accusations made towards the presidential candidate, lackluster performance in the debates, and a scandalous video may not turn Trump supporters around, but may have them telling Trump to shut his mouth. (Buzzfeed) South Korea’s Joint Chief of […]

It’s 2am. You’re at a party in EC. You’re sweaty, you’re sticky, and the room won’t stop spinning. You consider lying down on the floor and never getting up again. But then, you hear those signature opening bars, followed by that pterodactyl-like sound of your friends screeching – it’s that song. It’s your song. It’s the song. The […]

Notorious RBG tried to take back a past statement in a discussion on Colin Kaepernick’s hotly debated protest for black lives in the United States. Initially calling the protest “dumb,” Ginsburg claimed that she wasn’t informed on the reasons for Kaepernick’s protest.
