Remember that cool band that went to Columbia and played at Bacchanal? No, we’re not talking about Vampire Weekend. Instead, we’d like to share some new music from the Columbia alum band called Morningsiders. You may remember them making some music while they were here as undergrads, but they’ve now put out an official EP. You can […]

Rejoice! The Blue and White has just arrived on campus. You can find a copy in your dormitory, Butler, Lerner, and the Diana. For those of you impatient to get your hands on the real deal, here are a few highlights from the issue: Barnard discusses opening admissions to trans women Should university administrators be […]

We received two tips earlier today after students witnessed Law and Order: SVU cast and crew filming an episode near campus. Continue to send us information of what’s going on around this part of town by emailing us at tips@bwog.com.   Tip #1: “Law and Order SVU is currently filming the ‘protesting outside of Prezbo’s house’ scene for […]

We sent two baby Bwoggers to their 11 am FroSci lecture as they guzzled a bottle or two of the cheapest white wine International had to offer (−OH, ya feel?). Throughout the lecture, they managed to develop a drinking game AND learn about black holes (though we all know that their consumption induced them into their own black hole of drunkenness). […]

Your concerned parent probably sent you this article already via email (or maybe that’s just us?), but ten students and two visitors at Connecticut’s Wesleyan University were hospitalized this past weekend following their consumption of a bad batch of molly. Two remain in critical condition, while another two remain in serious condition. (Rolling Stone) Surprise!! Researchers in Southeast […]

In the wintertime, night transforms New York City streets into something brooding, unknowable, and not a little monstrous. It’s part of our hometown charm. This weekend, going out into this dark world, we discovered that whether it was our sober clumsiness, drunken hungriness, or just the desire to go to a bar in Brooklyn, the […]

Towards the end of the winter, the world looks bleak. The summer sun have been reduced to distant memory, there is no Christmas spirit left to sustain us, and even Valentine’s Day (definitely more of a mixed bag) has passed. In this context, that midterm failed seems an insurmountable obstacle, those essays looming a portent of […]

TIME, our historical record of the world, reassures us, and future generations, that Emma Watson is not in fact dating Prince Harry. And basic bros the world over let out a sigh of relief. NY City News, one of the many competing voices of this city, brings word of Proctor & Gamble’s plan to sell […]

In honor of spending the next 4 hours in Butler tonight’s Academy Awards / Oscars (which one is it?), we thought it would be fitting to ask people in and around the Butler Library area who they were wearing. From smokers to campers, here are their responses. Outside “Canada Goose. Sorry.” (we forgive you) “Columbia gear.” “Hanes sweats.” […]

She went to a Bwog meeting and then… You’ll never believe what happened next!

Columbia’s very own Joann Baney, who serves as a professor in the School of International and Public Affairs teaching peacekeeping skills to cops and firefighters, was charged with assault against her retired NYPD sergeant boyfriend last week. Oh the irony. (NY Daily News) A dentist in Connecticut has been charged in the death of one of […]

GS undergrad Lipa Schmeltzer (profiled last year by Bwog), called at times the Elvis or Lady Gaga of Hasidic pop music, is facing opposition from leaders in the Orthodox Jewish community, who have even gone so far as to tell their followers to boycott his concerts. (Gothamist) Inhabitants of the San Carlos Apache reservation are facing the destruction […]

A Los Angeles teaching hospital has alerted over 170 patients that they may have been exposed to an antibiotic-resistant ‘superbug.’ Read about it now, so that when the plague comes to sweep away humanity you can be the most smugly informed. (Reuters) In what is probably only horrifying because of present unfamiliarity, and pretty definitely the future, […]

Obviously, Bwog loves a good drama, a good party, and Columbia University. Drama@CU, the student produced reality show, has managed to capture all of these things in their newest episode, “The Party.” Watch. Laugh. Follow the drama on Twitter.
