…Late December, back in ’63. What a very special time for me! It’s that time of year again, folks. When things get dark, people get weird, and the world around us begins to devolve into turmoil. Tipsters sent in the photos below, reflecting the current state of Columbia’s soul. Prepare yourselves for the darkest of nights. […]

Look, we know you’ve been listening to Work, Bitch on loop for the last week. Never fear: Bwog is here to diversify your considerable musical interests! To Demi and Jay, obvs. Here we present a finals playlist — one song to play on repeat for each hour of the day. You’re welcome. Caveat: Bwog is […]

That’s right. It’s already the Sunday before finals begin, which means Primal Scream is happening tonight. Maybe it’s your first year at Columbia. Or maybe you’ve always spent today tucked away in your cozy single with your noise-canceling headphones on. Either way, Mamma Bwog is here to prepare you for Primal Scream: Make sure you know […]

It’s officially Sunday, which means you should probably put down the tequila and pick up those books! Or you can pick up the tequila and put down the books. It’s really your choice. Just have fun! Bwogline: To the dismay of horny women and men everywhere, Andrew Garfield could be replaced as Spider Man according to leaked emails between Sony and Marvel. (IGN News) […]

Inspired by his dear friend Sylvia’s adventures of last week, Jean-Paul Sartre sets out to answer a simple question: is alcoholism a humanism? There is no exit. The Gaze, the eternal struggle of seeing oneself as an object in the world of others’ consciousness, is upon me. Or perhaps people are just staring because I […]

We all have them. Those doodles and phrases that almost seemed related to something said in lecture, things that seemed at the time preferable to writing nothing at all but which later befuddle or even horrify readers. They’re the reason you don’t share your notes with needy friends—sometimes, they even keep you out of your own […]

Dear [insert name of someone you give literally zero shits about], So nice to see you [last month/year/who even knows]! Hope this holiday season leaves you sad and cold and lonely inside goes wonderfully! Love, Ebenezer/Grumpy Cat. Stop lying. We know how you really feel. Here are some holiday cards for those special people in […]

It’s Saturday. The eye of the storm. Whether you plan to relax or to amp up your study regimen, you’re in as much of a mood to read Bwoglines as Bwog is to write them properly. Just stay a moment and take in the cream of the crop, and we’ll have you on your way. Bwogline: The […]

Two anonymous baby Bwoggers present their review of Orgo Night: Fall 2014 Edition. We sent the freshmen because they didn’t know what to expect. Also they’re less jaded. Last night at 11:30pm in Butler 209, everyone realized—probably—that they had forgotten to take a shower. Sweaty bodies in sweaty sweaters carrying their sweaty parkas milled around […]

Bwog received a press release this afternoon from the Bacchanal Board informing us that a Spring Bacchanal concert will be held on April 4, 2015. This change in date allows for the concert to not fall during the Days on Campus weekend as it has in previous years. While some concerns about the state of Bacchanal have come up through students […]

Finals are tough. Maintaining a happy, healthy diet might be even tougher. One Bwogger shares her field food notes from the week. MONDAY 8am: Last night’s halal still stuffed to esophagus. Room only for coffee and disgust and Russian homework not completed. 11am: Feeling hopeful. Maybe will eat a vegetable today. Granola bar for now. […]

We typically start our mornings with coffee as dark as our souls and some light Bwoglines, but who can manage that during finals? We have exams to take, mornings to sleep in, and trips to Butler to procrastinate. Bwogline: Congress has just passed a bill that will allow $1.1 trillion in spending…amid rancor in the House. (The […]

While you’re going to have to wait for our full review of Orgo Night, we bring you the script of tonight’s performance by the Columbia University Marching Band. CUMB packed Butler 209 per tradition the night before the Orgo exam and delivered uncomfortable jokes to their audience. Take a break from reading about some boring […]

We’ve brought you to cafes in the neighborhood, and your better options right here at home. We’ve shown you classy cafes, conjuring up images of lands far away. Today we bring you back to reality. You’ve got papers due and finals to study for. You can’t remember the last time you showered. Let’s not even […]

At 3:00 this afternoon, the Undergraduate Admissions and Financial Aid offices crowded onto College Walk to send the first batch of admission letters for the Class of 2019. Despite the cold weather, the officers somehow managed to remain cheerful—along with their sizable array of camerapeople toting DSLRs, point-and-shoots, phones, and iPads. (Bwog estimates there was […]
