Barnard and its illustrious SGA are collaborating on an initiative to collect donations of dining points and redistribute them to students in need beginning December 10! This form, open now through December 7, allows Barnard students to donate as many points as […]

If you think Bwog is the exemplar of hard-hitting journalism, just look at Fox news! They covered the all-important annual crisis: do Reese’s Special Edition “Christmas Tree” peanut butter cups really look like turds, or is that just our imagination? (Fox News) It’s never too early to plan your spring break! May we humbly suggest a […]

Here at Bwog we’re totally #grateful we had the opportunity to go back home, lug piles of still-incomplete homework across the country, have unproductive fights with the actual fam, and watch Jessica Jones to completion. And sometimes it got a little spicy, as evinced by our horrifying (or is it tantalizing?) screenshot from the Iowa Snapstory. As always, […]

It’s weird, even to us, but—you have friends! Cool ones, who might even be graduating this term and who will be missed. Whether or not you think they’ll be interested in sharing their knowledge with us via our long and storied tradition of Senior Wisdoms, go ahead and nominate them by emailing us at tips@bwog.com (or […]

A perfectly ordinary family/an obsolete institution released pictures of one of its newer members, under the impression that anyone would care (we kind of do). (USA Today) Rejoice, for the Age of the Internet stretches before us, unmoved and unyielding. As a result of shoppers flocking to online deals, Black Friday store sales have slipped this year—although […]

Happy Thanksgiving, friends! Sure, we may have had some classes today, and it’s never too early to start those problem sets due on Monday, but this is the time to set aside work, be thankful, and get the hell out of MoHi. That’s why Bwog is taking a break to live, breathe, and drink the […]

Yesterday, a Russian jet was downed but Turkey near its border with Syria. Everyone’s favorite president/dictator Vladimir Putin condemned the attack  as a “stab in the back.” (BBC) Pope Francis begins his five day African tour in Kenya today. On his agenda may be gay rights, vigilante justice, and religious tensions with Muslims. (BBC) Blue […]

We all know how it feels to be a bit… er… loose with our definition of “telling the truth” when nosy Aunt Madge asks all of those invasive questions during Thanksgiving dinner. Here’s a quick reference sheet that will help you translate your Fall-semester shenanigans into more family-friendly language before you head into the fire […]

Thanksgiving will soon be upon us, and that means plenty of delicious things to look forward to: turkey, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and other heavenly cuisine. But aside from the food, Thanksgiving also means human interaction, and lots of it. Interacting with relatives is one thing, but running into old friends (and […]

But you CAN have the next best thing—Thanksgiving dinner at Tom’s (a.k.a. Seinfeld’s famed Monk’s Diner)! For only $29, you can enjoy the most Seinfeld-ian […]

Are you feeling the Bern? So is most of America, according to TIME’s Person of the Year poll, which everyone’s favorite liberal-uncle-ish politician is winning as of now. (TIME) Getting ready for the ubiquitous Turkey Dump? Soon enough, Facebook will make brutally breaking your S.O.’s heart that much easier by introducing an Eternal Sunshine-esque policy that […]

A mainstay of Morningside Heights you could never afford goes out of business, you doubt the veracity of the American dream, and you fail your Chemistry midterm: all in a week’s work. A weird revelation: we’re beginning to think everything in our lives can be tied to the rise and fall of American Apparel, or really, any once-profitable-but-no-longer […]

Carman: land of petty elevator disputes, vomit-stained carpets, vandalized bulletin boards, and a deeply-entrenched loneliness matched only by the vast plains of middle America. Behold the beauty and the desolation of the most “social” first-year dorm, established before Carmanites have even taken their first final. And just remember: it honestly never gets any better.
