Remember our College Walk archetypes? This time, Bwog tackles East Campus—a dream within a nightmare within a dream, the buildings that dominate your daytime musings and inform your party-seeking behavior/senior entitlement complex. In this edition, an unrepentant Sarah Dahl delves into the mind of the imminently mockable EC smoker.  There’s no better place to light up a […]

From a week of incessant testing (“midterms”), indecisive weather, and widespread incredulity over the first Columbia football victory in three years (!!!), emerge love, sex, disappointment, and Butler (always in the backdrop)—just don’t go as far as the dead bird we found, gone too soon from the NYC skyline. Congrats to all first-years for surviving their […]

The University has approved major revisions to the Rules of University Conduct for the first time since 1989.

Columbia University’s Native American Council will be celebrating Indigenous Peoples’ Day today, in lieu of Columbus Day, and with good reason—so take this opportunity to cast off second-grade history (replete with offensive pageants and revisionist history) and stop moaning about having class today. They will be on College Walk all day to promote several activities: there […]

Staten Island is known for its infamously large landfill (a fitting symbol for the distinctively #trash borough), the unbelievably cramped Staten Island Ferry (creeps galore!), and the Jersey Shore cast members who hail from this distant island—but other stuff happens here, like half-marathons! Congrats to the winners. (SI Live) You know you’re actually dying to figure […]

We received a tip that an RA in John Jay was CAVA’d by their students this past week. They have since been fired. Another source tells us that the RA was found lying unconscious in a bathroom stall. The source had to crawl under the door to help said person out of the stall because the stall […]

A Bwog staff writer and committed concertgoer delivers a slice of the sounds of the other John Adams of modern composition.

(Sung to the tune of… well, you’ll figure it out.) You used to come to Bwog on Sunday’s. Late night when you need our snacks. Come to Bwog on Sunday’s. Late night when you need our jokes. And we know that come 7pm, you’ll slide into our DMs. You’ll show up in Lerner 505, what a time […]

With fall quickly approaching, Baker Bwoggers Courtney Couillard, Lila Etter, and another staffer spent an afternoon working on a fun baking project to share with all of you amateur college cookers. Upon deciding what to bake, we knew we wanted to go with a classic. But not just some boring version—something that had a bougie edge […]

Salad Days puts us in a salad haze. But even better than Mac Demarco (yes, even better than him) is the fact that today, from 11:30 AM to 3 PM, you can get a free salad! Sweetgreen, a hipster healthy eatery with build-your-own salads, has opened up a new location at 2937 Broadway, just a […]

Shia LaBeouf, once known for his acting and alleged cannibalism, is now increasingly known for his legal troubles.

HBO cast a SECOND red priestess for the upcoming season of Game of Thrones. We’re excited, because the last priestess killed a lot of people using unorthodox methods. (Nylon) A woman in Florida glued her eyes shut after mistaking glue for eye drops. Accident, or witchcraft? (Fox) Two shootings occurred at colleges in Arizona and Texas. […]

As midterms become a terrible reality for most at this point in the semester, we had staffers Betsy Ladyzhets and Phoebe Newton put together some haikus to help you get through the stress of studying and your woes in Butler.

Lupus is a serious invisible disability that can make sufferers prone to anemia, viruses, and even heart […]

A shadowy group styling itself as “Senior Aboveground” made itself known with an email to the entire senior class a few hours ago. The email appears to be some kind of strange, cryptic, free verse poetry, composed by those who would rather be conspiring than studying for midterms. The email reads as follows: To hell with […]
