Is Joe Biden running for President? He only has nine days to register his campaign with Georgia, which has the earliest deadline for its primaries. Nobody knows for certain, but it definitely sounds like he’s posturing for the Presidency. (Washington Post) The Canadian election was yesterday, resulting in a clear majority for Justin Trudeau and the Liberal party.

There are plenty of things at Columbia that makes us say WTF, but the Butler water fountains have been on our minds as of late. Thirsty Staffer Emma Seely-Katz calls out the fountain drought of 2015. Many Columbia students have had to overcome some sort of adversity on the road to admittance. Is it really […]

Some things are just better left unsaid. This includes “hey, man, I hope it’s ok I used some of your hemorrhoid cream last night,” “I actually really hate Drake,” and “Donald Trump actually has a chance at winning the 2016 elections.” A  recent conversation overheard at the Hungarian Pastry Shop takes the cake, though: two […]

Unless you’ve been living under a rock since 2013, you know Bwog has a special affinity for Aubrey Graham aka Drizzy aka Champagne Papi aka Drake. We relate to his vulnerability and stuff, but mostly we love dancing like fiends to his hot, hot beats. As the superfans will tell you, this Saturday is a […]

NYU students may not have all the amazing professors and classes we have up here, but they do have Pharell Williams. The singer/ridiculous-hat-wearer is the Tisch artist in residence for 2015. Time to start buttering up your downtown friends so they’ll sneak you in and you can finally own up to your love of “Happy.” […]

Homecoming! We lost the game, as expected (although the tragic death of the streak gave the less experienced of us some doubts), but people still had fun, didn’t they?? Whether you showed up only for the pregame, left at halftime, or spent the weekend mourning the death of America’s Next Top Model (RIP the greatest GIF […]

It appears the protests are having an effect—according to an email sent out by the Barnard Board of Trustees, the college has agreed to consider divesting from fossil fuels; the Investment Committee will look at other options. Representatives of Divest Barnard are invited to the next meeting of the committee in December to further discuss the issue, […]

It’s missing—that beautiful, bold industrial stapler usually stationed at the front desk of Lerner. You’ve used it to staple everything from your 50-sheet long Anthropology readings and your pirated eBook of Sappho’s poetry to your print-outs of Chem lecture notes (because you never go) and the collection of quotes you’ve collected from your Biology professor. You […]

With Halloween around the corner, we were expecting some spooky tips—we were not, however, expecting horror (because that’s what it is) closer to home. In the picture to the right, you see tentacles (of the sea, distant, alien, weird) found during dinner at John Jay on a day that seafood was not served.  What is this, […]

Hey, Barnard student! You’re invited to “Complexity of Gender: How does gender show up in the classroom?”, a student-led event (first in a series) meant to create dialogue between students and faculty on gender in our classrooms and learning spaces. The event will feature an introduction to relevant terminology, small group discussions between students and faculty, […]

New York rats—they’ve made you laugh, cry, and cower in the corner (watching Pizza Rat really makes you explore the range of human emotion), but the rodentification of the city has become an increasingly gross problem that the city is attempting to address. (New York Times) Who cares about water on Mars, when there might be a […]

We know it’s been family weekend these past couple of days. Hope y’all had some good, clean, wholesome fun! Because now it’s time for Bwog. And you know us, we tend to get a little unseemly. So maybe don’t tell your parents to tag along tonight? If you’re lucky, they’ve already kissed you goodbye and […]

Dame Angela Landsbury, famed British-American actress, celebrated her 90th birthday on Friday. To borrow a phrase from Rookie, Damn, girl, ya look good! (The Guardian) The J. Edgar Hoover Building, the FBI’s headquarters, is falling to pieces, and has been for the past ten years. Now, plans for a new building are months behind schedule. […]

Bwog provides a run-down of Homecoming 2015: “International tourists asked for photos with me at the pep rally.” “Students drinking out of open containers on college walk.” “My friend lied that she was in SEAS to get a scarf. And just misspelled her name really badly.” “They ran out of beer.” “Friend compared homecoming bus […]

A few unpopular presidential candidates voiced their thoughts this past week about their low poll standings. Our fave was Governor Chris Christie’s optimistic outlook regarding Iowa and New Hampshire results: “I don’t necessarily think you have to win either state.” (New York Times) Some NYU students are living in $300/night hotel rooms because the university […]
