“Mr. Speaker, the President of the United States!” boomed the Sergeant in Arms, who traditionally announces the President’s arrival into the House chamber to deliver his annual State of the Union address. Among the many invited guests of the President, First Lady, Vice President and the hundreds of Congressmen and women, was Columbia’s own Emma […]

Are you a freshman or sophomore who is into Jazz Music or sustainability (or some other “special interest”)? Want to live in the same dorm as Kerouac (or maybe just a nice brownstone)? Want to avoid the drama of the housing lottery and live with a bunch of other people who have similar passions as you […]

Whether by catching some rays and some waves, calling in a Netflix staycation, or being productive and getting the entire semester’s’ worth of reading done, you all hopefully enjoyed your too-short winter break. Now you’re back with endless stories to tell your friends over at drink at 1020. But before you do that, be sure to tell […]

Chipotle is still running low on carnitas after cutting ties with a supplier that wasn’t raising its pigs humanely (but the Chipotle on 110th still has it!!!). (Huffington Post) Did you binge-listen to Serial like most of our staff did over break? Asia McClain is now standing by her original testimony, providing Adnan with an alibi. (Time […]

The website Jezebel started a trend of posting ridiculous emails and handbooks from sororities with an email from the Alpha Chi Omega chapter at University of Southern California. To add to the list of infamous AXO emails, Columbia’s own chapter has been featured with a leaked handbook for Recruitment Week 2014-2015. The handbook totals at 30 pages, including an exhaustive […]

What did YOU do over break? Bwog’s notorious beloved Tatini read the first 100 pages of Wild and has thus decided that she is now qualified to dole out life advice by the bundle. Can’t figure out what to major in? Don’t know who to vote for on the Bachelor? Unsure which embarrassing caffeinated beverage to […]

We’re back for a new year, another semester, brand new classes and another (or a final) chance to make Dean’s List. From today on, your professors will be welcoming you to class with bad puns (or good ones), aggressive political statements and philosophical musings. But that’s only a sample. It’s up to you to send […]

President Obama will deliver his penultimate State of the Union address tonight at 9 pm, and we’ll be listening closely to hear if his agenda includes anything on campus sexual assault, a hot-button issue this past year especially. Also listening closely will be Emma Sulkowicz, the invited guest of New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand. (Jezebel) A […]

With all of the hard work that goes into making this illustrious site run day in and day out, only a few of our staff members have the privilege of taking on the laborious activity of making Bwog the way it is. We like to call these heroes Daily Editors and we need some more […]

The men’s basketball team in light blue that showed up in Ithaca today was not the same team that went blow-for-blow with #1 Kentucky. Thankfully, they didn’t have to be against a Cornell squad that showed shades of its abysmal performances last year. Led by first-year Kyle Castlin’s 12 points, the Lions defeated the Big […]

Columbia College has announced the 24 current seniors who have been inducted early into Phi Beta Kappa, the prestigious academic honor society. These students comprise two percent of this year’s senior class, while the other eight percent will be inducted in the spring (10 percent overall of each CC senior class gets inducted). They are […]

Bwog briefly returns from post-holiday hibernation with updates on Columbia goings-on from the last few weeks. According to the Columbia Health website, Columbia has been granted an award from Avon for participation in the Step Up program targeting sexual violence bystander awareness. The Carleton Lounge dining area in Mudd is being renovated from a full-service […]

A few questions for those at the helm of the University this holiday season. Preferably to mull over during family dinner. Of President Bollinger, we ask: How exactly will Columbia be a “good neighbor” in Manhattanville? Will you call the cops on us every time we congregate in groups of three or more? How will you create community […]

He thought he’d left his hard-partying days behind him. No more shots and no more dancing and certainly no more hooking-up with his exes. But something always sucks him back in (hint: letting loose after finals leads to bad things). It’s been months–well, at least one month—since I last attended any sort of large social […]

To those of you still here, we here at Bwog can offer you some perspective: every page left in that final paper, every hour until that absurdly late final exam, keeps you protected from the interrogation you will face upon your return home. To remind you of this, and to help you prepare, we have […]
