It’s that time of night–when the moody and lonely Columbia student within you comes out, and you decide to drunkenly take a walk to “clear your head” or whatever. Here’s a playlist for lying(/meditating/crying/sobering up) on the sundial. Try to refrain from shouting “Take me now!” to the heavens (been there, done that). Kifak Inta by […]

Disclaimer: I wish the following were inspired by real events. Ever wonder what your professors are doing when they aren’t making you pay laughable amounts of money on textbooks or assigning so much work that you don’t have any me time (wink wink) anymore? Do you think they grade your papers on time? lol no […]

Barnard President Debora Spar responds to recent student and faculty concerns regarding this year’s commencement speaker in a letter to-the-editor published on the Spectator website late this afternoon.

This Tuesday is the last day to declare your English major, or whatever else you might be majoring in, Barnard sophomores! But don’t worry too much, ’cause that’s more of a soft deadline.

After the Bwog staffers’ journey to the depths of 1020, replete with books, they had a far less tumultuous time at the newest Morningside Heights addition- Arts and Crafts Beer Parlour, conveniently located across the road from the freshmen dorms on Amsterdam. Depending on your study style, Arts and Crafts may be a better study […]

A Bwog staffer noticed some strange goings-on in the Barnard Buy/Sell/Trade Facebook page and decided to investigate. Last week, a post from Sanam Jalinous, BC ’19, and Hannah Hungerford, BC ’19, for a free table at Joe’s revolutionized the potential of Barnard’s Buy/ Sell/ Trade page. No more was the page just for clothing rejects […]

Facebook introduced a new set of emoticon reactions that users can choose instead of the traditional “like.” Test them out by going to Bwog’s Facebook page and clicking the “angry” emoticon on all of our posts! ;) (The Wall Street Journal) Kesha continues to fight the good fight against rape culture, choosing to continue taking […]

Some of the events on Columbia’s calendar may seem out-of-place at the university to an outsider’s eye. Students have been invited to workshops on how to get more sleep, how to have a better sex life, and how to live in small spaces, but though these may seem odd they are definitely (and unfortunately) relevant to most […]
