It’s one o’clock in the morning. You’ve just returned from Butler. You’ve promptly forgotten everything you learned during the studying you did at Butler. You wander the hallways of the Barnard quad, wondering what you’re doing with your life. And then, you see him: Pepe stares at you. His vacant blue eyes peer deep into […]
With only one week (one week!) left before the start of finals, studying is starting to get desperate. We can practically smell the infernal stink of entrenched Butler campers already. Bwog knows you’re stressed out, and Bwog is here to provide you with enough coffee and good vibes to get your groove back. Five lucky […]
It’s everyone’s favorite time of the year—research paper season! However, we know you’re nowhere near finishing your paper and it’s probably due in the next day or so. Instead of stressing in Butler over how you’re going to fill the last 1,000 words of your 10 page paper, we have a few tips to get […]
The U.S. Senate passed the Panglossian-titled “Every Child Achieves Act,” a replacement for the “No Child Left Behind Act” of George W. Bush. The bill “did away with the…mandate of Adequate Yearly Progress, required use of measures in evaluating student success, provided greater access to early childhood education and included a measure to audit and […]
If you’ve taken Contemporary Civilization or come from a Flyover state with a long history of Scandinavian homesteaders, you are probably familiar with Martin Luther and his 95 theses. Well, we connected the dots and realized it’s not a huge jump from demonstrating the hypocrisy of the Papists to fighting the established patriarchal norms of Academia […]
You’ve been hearing drunk seniors slurring the words “Iiiit’s Cloooosing Tiiimmmee…” as they get kicked out of 1020 at 4 am since September, but this is realer than any bad Semisonic song: the semester is coming to a close! We want you to help us compile a list of your professors’ best end-of-semester remarks/shenanigans for […]
This one is self explanatory: “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States until our country’s representatives can figure out what is going on.” We figured out what’s going on: a racist crazy is running for President. (Trump Website) Bernie Sanders won the popular vote… for […]
It’s that time of year again folks: the Columbia University Marching Band has released their first round of flyers for this year’s Fall Orgo Night taking place December 16th at 11:59PM in Butler 209. While these posters are definitely less controversial than those of previous years, we expect the event itself to maintain its usual level of offense. As always, Bwog plans […]
With finals fast approaching (Oh, hi research paper we never started!!), we observe that the student populace is more receptive to the unnatural melding of the organic (alive, productive) with the inorganic (inanimate, rotting). Below, behold some examples. And as always, send in any contributions to tips@bwog.com or through our anonymous tip form. The Organic […]
The Barnard Columbia Solidarity Network (BCSN) started protesting on Low Steps at 3:30 today, with a sizable but not overwhelming crowd. The network amended a set of demands from the Student Power Coalition (SPC) in order to reflect the race critical lens supported by its membership—member groups include the Mobilized African Diaspora (MAD), Columbia Divest for Climate Justice, Divest […]
Update, 11:39 am: Changes have been made in the organization of the protest. It is now being run by the Barnard Columbia Solidarity Network (BCSN), a coalition that includes the groups that were part of the Student Power Coalition, but adds to the mix Mobilized African Diaspora and Barnard Columbia Socialists. They will release their […]
Former President Jimmy Carter announced on Sunday that he was cancer-free, after months of treating metastatic melanoma that had spread from his liver to his brain. He will continue with regular treatments, but seems in the clear for now. Congrats to our fave idealistic-but-slightly-mediocre-president-who-ended-up-doing-amazing-and-substantial-work-after-the-presidency! (New York Times) Current President Obama addressed the American people on television […]

Finals are looming, and the walk to Butler is becoming even more daunting as it gets colder outside. We asked our resident Northerners on staff–New Hampshirite Courtney Couillard and Massachusettsan Rachel Deal–to teach us how to survive the cold this winter and stay focused until the end of the semester. Though we New Englanders think otherwise (we’re […]
