Canada is about to get a lot more lit–legislation to legalize marijuana federally will be ready by 2017! What a nice post-4/20 piece of news. (CBC) A New York Congressman decided to get a little dramatic, saying he would “take cyanide” if Ted Cruz won the Republican presidential nomination. Loos like even his colleagues are pretty sure […]

So you’re definitely getting Baked by Melissa, going to the Tank Top party (once the “Pot Party”), or getting seeds from the John Jay Lounge. It’s cute how CU students come together on 4/20 to produce the most insinuation-laden event names. That said, you can’t really compete with your professor’s itinerary on 4/20—they’re in academia! We […]

Did you hear that? There’s a whispering in the air. Is it an activist’s megaphone, the voice rebounding through Low Rotunda? No, that’s not it. Is it the distant chanting of hundreds of Bernie-bros on 109th, walking lockstep in matching Bernie 2016 shirts like Marinetti-esque robots? No, that can’t be it. Is it the Zionism conspiracist […]

Trash: New York City is full of it, Columbia is full of it, and Bwog is also, probably, full of it. (At least, that seems to be the opinion of many of our commenters recently.) And now that the weather is nice enough to actually venture outside for more than the five minutes it takes […]

This afternoon, the Columbia Journalism School announced the 2016 winners of the Pulitzer Prize. As is the tradition (and, perhaps, to make directions easier for the older writers attending the event), the prizes were awarded in Pulitzer Hall.

That’s right, today’s the day: registration for the fall 2016 semester officially starts now. Ready the list you’ve been preparing since February, check CULPA to see if any new reviews popped up, and open the page you bookmarked during NSOP – or, if you’re like us, scroll through a department at random looking for professors […]

It’s no secret that Bwog hearts BarnLib, and we’re super excited about their event in LeFrak tomorrow starting at 6 PM. (aka 24 hours from now!) The BarnLib babes will be whipping up some Millie the Bear-shaped cookies for students to decorate and munch on to brighten up their Monday night. The event will have cookies catering to […]

It’s finally warm, and Columbia noticed. Yesterday was filled with Powwow, the continuation of the Divest protest, and outdoor merriment on the lawns. Birkenstocks abound, sunglasses were everywhere, and some people even broke out their rompers. We get it, Columbia. You haven’t seen sun since last semester (or maybe since Bacchanal, but who can remember that). And […]
