The Furnald birds are chirping, students are stress eating, and unaffiliated children are running around campus. This must mean spring is slowly beginning to sprung. To get you out of your midterm slump, Momma Nature decided to bless us with some nice weather this week. Today, the high of 66 degrees. Oh my, that is […]

If you are new student at Columbia this academic year, you are required to complete the Sexual Respect and Community Citizenship Initiative by March 20.

Today is Michigan’s Republican and Democratic Primaries. Be prepared for a barrage of targeted political ads, out-of-context soundbites, and diatribes from your Facebook “friends.” At least the excitement will keep your mind off midterms. (MichiganLive) If the Primaries aren’t keeping your mind off your next big test, perhaps the threat of worldwide nuclear devastation will. […]

One more week, Columbia. One week from today, we’ll all be enjoying warmer climates, or having Netflix marathons without needing to break for homework, or going on cool adventures without a textbook in sight. Who knows – we might even be asleep. But for now, unfortunately, we’re still stuck in the hellhole of Butler 209, trying […]

Below is a sample of some of our favorite content, courtesy of the sleepy, uninterested students of Bwog. Page headers aren’t real notes: “Fuck […]

As we pointed out earlier, dear readers, we are currently at the peak of midterm season. And that can only mean one thing: Columbia students are doing some weird shit. (Or, we’re putting out weird vibes, and the objects on our campus are just picking them up.) To tell the truth, Columbia, we’re a little […]

Meet your future medical students, investment bankers, and, as of last night, period pundits.

Last night, CCSC Student Body President Ben Makansi, CC ’16, posted a Google Doc titled, “Reasons Why Pads are Necessary in Addition […]

It’s the most wonderful day of the year. You know the day – it’s a day for celebration (of your suffering), a day for gifts (of terrifying tests), and a day for love (of coffee and Redbull.) It’s the day we’ve been looking forward to all semester. Midterm Day. We’re sure you, like us (and […]

You’ve been hoping, wishing, dreaming of this for so long. It feels as though time has moved at a glacial pace until this point. But now, in the lulls in conversations, in the seconds of silence, in the moments before you fall asleep. You hear him: James Franco. His voice rises from somewhere deep within you, and […]

An Uber passenger says her driver used fake vomit (or, at least, a photo of someone else’s real vomit) to charge her cleaning fees of $200, for allegedly throwing up in his car during a February ride. (Daily Mail) Caitlin Jenner has announced that she would be the “trans ambassador to the president of the United States” if […]

Change is upon us, both in the weather and our bathrooms. After speaking out against Tampons and shitty toilet paper, we can finally put them behind us (literally). After communicating our concerns to the university, CCSC has announced: Regular and super tampons will be available for students to pick up starting after spring break at […]
