Yesterday was Earth Day. Naturally, say, if you had a baby yesterday, you would want to commemorate the moment by giving your baby an earth themed name. Thankfully USA Today came out with a list. Personal favorites are Moss and Glade. (USA Today) Amy Schumer makes us laugh, but apparently doesn’t make Kanye laugh at […]

We get it–maybe you first fell for your prospie when you saw him carrying an ugly armchair you found on the street up four flights of stairs to your room, or maybe it was when you looked into her big blue eyes over fries at JJ’s. Though Days on Campus is over for the semester, check […]

Earlier this morning, students received an email announcing that CC/SEAS students who commute will be given dorm swipe access starting in the fall. This announcement comes after discussions and proposals from both CCSC and ESC. Because of the various non-residential services of our residential halls, such as drop-in counseling hours with CPS, this change in policy will […]

As he promised back in 2012, Waka Flocka Flame announced his presidency (on 4/20). Despite the fact that he’s not old enough to be president (he’s 28), we at Bwog think his platform sounds pretty solid. (Rolling Stone) A study of nearly 100,000 children re-confirmed that the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is not linked […]

B*tch better have my pizza!!! Singer Rihanna was recently spotted vacationing in Hawaii wearing a pizza-patterned bathing suit. Peep the photos on the singer’s Instagram to see the look for yourself. (Huffpost Canada) Tax season is a drag for us all, but Pizza Hut is making this time of year a bit easier with the “Pizza […]

And therefore we’ve lost motivation to stay inside and focus on anything important. We used the rain today to retreat quickly back to bed and reminisce on a Saturday not too far gone where shorts and sitting on grass coincided. Pray with us for similar weather next weekend at tips@bwog.com. A high of 77 degrees […]

Our freshpeople housing reviews have begun, and we’re starting with Carman! Infamously wild social, Carman is a great place to live if you want to make friends and don’t mind cinder block walls and the occasional vomit stains on the carpet. Read on for specifics, and check back for more housing reviews later on in the week! […]

We’ve been scouring both Barnard and Columbia campuses this weekend looking for potential homies, but even first-years agree that this year’s batch of prospies looks like they just graduated the eighth grade. However, we know that there is at least one prospie stoner (cough LA kids cough) wandering around MoHi on this rainy Monday afternoon looking for […]

Low Steps were once the site of good-hearted fun, of honest Columbia students forthright with their opinions of this venerated Ivy League institution. Some still might make insensitive comments about Barnard students, but at least these guys weren’t running on empty. You might be inspired to spend this April 20th like these 1980 role models, yet […]
