Last night the class of 2015 stormed low steps and celebrated 40 days until graduation with 40s! The excitement was high. The squeals and shouts could be heard far and wide. The Colt 45 was deserved. Congrats to the class of 2015 on ringing in the final countdown drunk af!

If you were the former or the latter, Anna Hotter, a Bwogger with a DSLR camera and excellent composition skills, captured some Big moments worthy of sharing.  Relive Bacchanal one more time. 

Unbreakable Kimmy Shmidt unfortunately broke someone . Dermatologist Fredric Brandt, who is portrayed in the show, was found dead in his home on Monday due to an apparent suicide. (NBC) Badass Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s biography is anticipated to be equally as badass. The title, Notorious RBG, speaks for itself. The book is to be released in October. We suggest […]

If you haven’t already heard (it’s possible to not pay attention to sports–we do go to Columbia, after all), Duke’s Coach K secured his fifth March Madness title two nights ago.

It’s been established that approximately 1% of Bwog readers are actually science majors, but that doesn’t deter us from adding to our famed series, entitled BunsenBwog—a brief review of some of the science-related findings and contributions done by members of our campus community. We dispatched our farthest-thing-from-science-major  Tuesday daily editor Briana to the CUMC newsroom […]

Too bad 95% of Bacchanal attendees forget the embarrassing shit that they did during their fraternity pregame, and even fewer remember the actual performers that graced Low Steps. The other 5% of attendees who actually recall what went down (or […]

We never thought that Kanye and Etsy would be used in the same sentence, but it appears that the worlds of hip-hop and DYI crafts have collided. This past week, an Etsy user launched Book of Yeezus, which is a bible that replaces “every mention of the word God with Kanye West.”  (Jezebel) The best selling book on […]
