After about a month of confusion about who would take over John Boehner’s seat as Speaker of the House of Representatives, former VP candidate and Congressman Paul Ryan will become the new Speaker. (Politico) Owen Labrie, former St. Paul’s student charged with sexual assault of a younger female classmate, was sentenced to one year in […]

Last night, Barnard College hosted a panel featuring the authors of the new book Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Judicial Junkies Courtney Couillard and another Bwog staffer checked out the event. The symbol of the “Notorious RBG” has floated around the internet for some time now, featuring images of the Supreme […]

We know you’ve been busy lately—midterms, binge-watching Netflix, and obsessively reading Bwog has no doubt taken a lot out of you. If you haven’t gotten around to preparing your Halloween costume, don’t panic! We have a few suggestions for you, now that Ricky’s is gone (RIP) and it’s even harder for you to scrounge up a […]

Do you like free candy? How about free pens? Or free stickers? Or maybe free history lessons? If you somehow answered no to all of those questions, you should still head over to Hamilton Hall and check out the Charter Day celebration going on right now. Besides the giveaways, Hamilton currently houses some cool exhibits […]

Dear Bwog, You answered my question yesterday about my troubles with my roommate, and I tried out some of your suggestions, but they didn’t seem to work. I woke up early to catch him before he left for class, but he left straight from the bathroom. I came back to the room before lunch, and […]

High school juniors at NYC public schools can now win $10 tickets to the incredible Hamilton Musical – and they don’t even have to enter into the official lottery to do it! This opportunity is provided by the Rockefeller Foundation, which donated $1.46 million to lower the prices of 20,000 special matinee tickets. (NY Daily News) […]

Dear Bwog, I’ve been having some problems with my roommate since we moved in before NSOP. He always leaves his stuff around, meaning I have to walk around his dirty clothes, class books, and used plates/utensils if I want to get to my clean half of the room. He also keeps the room really warm, […]

Cosmetics Company Urban Decay just released a new Naked palette: Naked Vault Volume II. It costs $165 (better than last year’s Vault I price: $265), but it’s still a lot to pay, unless you already(!) have your summer finance internship lined up. (Bustle) Author, Republican, and former neurosurgeon Ben Carson topped Donald Trump in a […]

It’s the thick of midterms. Fall break is merely days away, but it feels like we will never escape the bleak days of studying in Butler and crying into our Blue Java coffee cups. Alas, we will make it through even the darkest of nights somehow. To ease the pain, we bring you some of the […]

This morning, an anonymous tipster sent us a message about CCSC’s new website, though to call it a website may be a bit of a stretch. The page is full of cracked-out emoticons, grimace-y pictures of council members, and the default Lorem ipsum that no one’s bothered to change as of yet.   Is this page […]

This edition of Night in the Life comes in the form of imagined conversations between Benjamin Makansi and Vivek Ramakrishnan–a.k.a. Ben and Viv, your notoriously fearless leaders of CCSC. 10:59 pm Ben: Oh crap! We forgot to send an email about CCSC! Viv: Are you sure we did anything this week? B: I don’t know! […]

Midterms are still in full swing, and as work piles up, any unexpected complication can feel overwhelming. Whether that means suddenly catching the flu or going through a breakup, this playlist is here to commiserate with you (and if you’re simply just stressed out by midterms, that’s fine too!!). Flesh without Blood by Grimes – The […]

A World Health Organization study linking processed meats and colorectal cancer has been backed by many experts in the field, adding snacks like sausage to the seemingly ever-increasing list of Things That Can Give You Cancer. Don’t fret too much though–the risk is minimal in comparison to, say, smoking a pack of Marlboros. (Mercury News) And […]

Lately, it’s seemed like everything has been topsy-turvy. Babies are just hanging out in pumpkins, parents are eating at Hewitt, and random women are getting pepper-sprayed on the subway (although that might just be an #onlyinNewYork kind of thing). We know it’s been weird, but allay your fears with some field notes. As always, send […]

You can probably tell Bwog is a big fan of The Weeknd given how frequently he ends up on our playlists. Well, imagine our surprise when we spotted the new King of Pop on campus this afternoon! It’s unclear whether Abel is out on College Walk doin’ promo for his new tour, or just looking […]
