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 […]

President Spar sent an email to Barnard students this afternoon explaining the Board of Trustees approach to adding a transgender policy to Barnard’s admissions for the future. A handful of all-women’s colleges have already implemented transgender policies in their own admissions. On campus, Barnard students have called for a change to address the non-existent admissions policy for […]

Like us, you probably harbor a burning hatred for the Columbia Business School. Perhaps it’s because they dare claim a building on campus so we have to look  at them as they go to class. Perhaps it’s because of that ridiculous sculpture out front, a testament to their lack of culture and also to how they […]

Tonight, we celebrate our school as best we know how with communal food before finals and offense given to everyone and everything! At precisely the stroke of midnight, in Butler 209, the Columbia University Marching Band will be hosting “the 60th consecutive 69th semi-annual Orgo Night.” This alleged act of public service (as well as […]

You don’t have time to read a full Bwoglines; Bwog doesn’t have time to write a full Bwoglines. Slack this morning with a Bwog in Bed secure in the knowledge that there is no judgment here, only commiseration.  Bwogline: Last night, Columbia men’s basketball took on Kentucky, number one in the country. And it forced Kentucky to […]

Tired of Butler? Sick of burning your tongue on another scalding Starbucks latte? Want to pretend you’re spending your winter break in Europe? Bwog brings you the third installment of our cafe reviews–this time, we’re covering cafes that will make you feel as if you’ve been transported to the streets of Paris or Budapest or […]

Around 3:30 AM last night, residents of 114th St. between Broadway and Amsterdam were awoken from their peaceful slumber by the most courteous neighbors of all time: Beta House. In keeping with their recent tradition, most of their blaring music consisted of tunes from Disney that may be enjoyable in small doses, but not at […]

Now that it’s reading week, we’re transitioning from Bwoglines to Bwog In Bed. Are you really spending these next couple of days studying, or are you just listening to Drake and drinking wine in your room? Let us know in the comments! Bwogline: You’ve all probably read Le Petit Prince, whether in English as a child or […]

Yesterday was the last day of classes, but more importantly, it was the night of XMAS!, Columbia’s annual winter musical comedy. What better way to celebrate finishing the semester on a good note than to take in your peers’ creative talent and get a good laugh. Our Arts Editor rejoiced in the revelry and wants […]
