Every month we get to show some love for our parent publication, The Blue and White. Unlike some children, we’re grateful for our Cool Mom, so we’re excited to share this first article about 1020’s female bartenders from the  latest issue. We’ve all heard the rumors about 1020’s owner–people often use the words “creepy,” “controlling,” […]

Dean Hinkson released a statement to all Barnard students earlier today regarding Orgo Night and the Columbia University Marching Band. In the email, Dean Hinkson recognizes how she received “heartfelt messages” and “equally compelling messages” from both supporters and detractors of the Marching Band’s activities at Barnard. After Dean Hinkson closed the Barnard gates to […]

Reading “week” is always a fun time for Columbia students. Between studying for finals, writing papers, getting some of that Midnight Breakfast, and attending Orgo Night, there’s just too much to be done in too little time. So we’re here to make your reading days slightly more entertaining by renaming them. If you have any […]

Tonight, we celebrate the student body and the school as best we know with free (FREE!) pre-finals food and free (FREE!) offense given to everything and everybody! At exactly midnight, the Columbia University Marching Band will erupt into Butler 209 for the 62nd consecutive, 69th semi-annual Orgo Night. We don’t really know if the aim to […]

Now that reading week has begun, we’re transitioning from Bwoglines to Bwog In Bed. Ironically, many of us have been spending reading week so far sleeping in Butler instead of our beds. Regardless, get pumped for a day of studying (and preparing for Orgo Night).  Bwogline: The Federal Reserve is aiming to raise interest rates this […]

Take a break from studying (or not studying) an mosey on down to Broadway Presbyterian Church for some pancakes and midnight solidarity! From 11 pm to 1 am tonight, our friends at everyone’s favorite progressive church in MoHi will be servin’ up fuel for your late-night/early morning trips to Riverside Park (we all know what you’re […]

You know a Facebook event is going to be good when the host puts up a disclaimer: “this is just a joke i am just a bored lady making a joke pls dont arrest me (sic).” Friends and friends of friends and maybe even that weird kid with the wraparound sunglasses in your Orgo class have all […]

The second (and more controversial) round of Orgo Night posters have hit Butler bulletin boards (you can look at the first round of posters here). As one would expect, the posters contain Donald Trump jokes (Is he still funny? The world seems undecided), a play on Hotline Bling’s album art, and yet another reference to […]

Surprise! Jesus may not have looked like a skinny white dude with perfect hair! He might have looked like… well, like you’d expect an ancient Semite to look. We still think you look fly, Jesus. (Epoch Times) Though Jesus might not have looked much like his artistic image, this girl sure as hell looks like […]

Remember those fun emails we used to get from Ben & Viv, sometimes at 3 am? Or remember that time they tried to make a website? We miss the good ol’ days. But hark! CCSC has graced us with another Ben & Viv Classic, and we’re just tickled pink. Perhaps it was an effort to […]

As one Bwogger put it, it’s been a week of degeneracy. We’ve succeeded in setting our sights low, lying to ourselves, and mentally preparing for a week of agony that should be followed, theoretically, by a month of bliss. As you read through these field notes, (a) feel grateful you’re not us, and (b) consider sending […]

If you’re having real drama with your faux-family, has Bwog got some advice for you! Some of it is good, but most of it is (arguably) not—instead of studying for finals, try to distinguish which is which! Dear Bwog, My friend group is going through some weird tension right now, and it has to do with […]

Celebrate the end of something special (the end of classes, Bwoglines for this semester, etc.) with some strange and slightly chilling headlines. A disconcertingly soulless Ted Cruz has been lambasted by both Donald Trump and Ben Carson in response to comments he made at a private event. Trump said, “I get along with everybody,” and […]

Well, folks, this is it. The last meeting of the semester. Someone bring the Kleenex. But it’s not all bad news. This means Winter Break, and going home for the holidays, and time spent with friends and family! We’ll miss you all, but Bwog will still be here when you return. Be sure to come to Lerner […]

Brought to you by a Bwogger who wishes to remain anonymous, this is the third and final installation of the Eat Pray Love series. Supposedly entitled “Eat Pray Love: Advanced.” At this point, we should really rename this whole thing “Broke Nostalgic and Jaded.” Enjoy! (Or don’t. We’re too busy being cynical to really care.) Eat: You’ve been […]
