In 2010, Jason Garner left his job as the CEO of Global Music for Live Nation in what he describes as a “conscious uncoupling,” to go on a journey of self-discovery. Four years later, he’s returned to the public eye with a book, …And I Breathed, about how to be happy without quitting your job. […]

Tonight marked the annual Big Sub event at Barnard, during which an indescribably large sub appears on campus and is traditionally gone right after the eating commences. Barnard’s McAC, which organizes the event, was setting up lights and spreading fun little packets of what are apparently build-your-own-snowmen around the sandwich segments, which stretched from Sulzberger […]

This past weekend Bwog overheard a profound insight on 115th and Broadway: Well you know my rule about Columbia: assume gay until proven gay. If this isn’t already your general rule of thumb here in MoHo, you must be a freshman. Opening the eyes of straight, white men everywhere via Shutterstock.

Today is Tuesday, October 7, and if you’re in CC or Barnard, that date holds special significance for you. Alas, today is the deadline for dropping a non-Core class (the Core deadline passed a while ago) if you don’t want that nasty W on your record for all of your potential employer’s hiring managers to […]

The Supreme Court upheld the decisions of several federal appeals courts that ruled in favor of same-sex marriage in five new states, including historically conservative Oklahoma and Utah. What would the Book of Mormon say? (NYT) USA Swimming has suspended Michael Phelps from USA Swimming competitions (and funding) for the next six months and next […]

Since Friday, we’ve been flooded with suggestions about what to name the newest addition to our Columbia family. After all, in a world filled with MoHi and Prezbo, a name like Bernheim & Schwartz doesn’t exactly roll of the tongue. We extend claps, emoji stars, and bittersweet participation trophies to everyone who submitted names to us — the competition was steep […]

In honor of Barnard’s 125th anniversary, the Empire State Building’s glowing color of choice this evening will be Barnard Blue. We anticipate students will be flocking to find a good view on a high floor of glassy NoCo, squinting really hard on the Amsterdam bridge to East Campus, or calling up their friend-of-a-friend that has an upscale […]

Surprise! Your childhood nightmare of that one time when Pluto lost its elite status as a planet has now been reversed. Maybe. (USA Today) “Occupy” is reemerging as a political battle cry, but this time on the opposite side of the world. (NPR) The Amanda Show star might be one push of a pedal closer […]

One of the bathrooms on John Jay 13 has been “occupied” for the past two weeks. Why is this the case, you ask? We conjectured that someone was cooking valuable quantities of meth (Breaking Bad is still big after all). Hell, a new resident might be living there. As it turns out, however, our favorite freshman shit hole dormitory is simply falling apart. […]

I found a USB key attached to one of the computers in the Lerner lounge (the room with the piano). I brought it to the front desk.

Found a pair of glasses on the ground next to a table at Pupin Plaza. Given to public safety on October 1st.

Feeling sick and tired after a sleepless midterm week? Come, let Momma Bwog take care of you…At tonight’s weekly meeting! Open to the public at 7:00PM in the SGO on the 5th floor of Lerner. Food, friends, and fun as promised. There might even be cookies. Hungover Hamilton via Shutterstock.  

We recently discovered that there exists an entire world of free schwag that comes with being a Columbia student (and we’re not talking about those Freshman Step Up! shirts). All it takes is a .edu email address and you’re ready to go. Here’s a little list we’ve put together of free/discounted goods and services offered […]

An (alleged Russian) attack against JPMorgan and Chase infiltrated over 83 million American accounts, according to the bank’s latest count. (Time) For the few people that haven’t heard of Netflix, be warned that Redbox is shutting down its video-streaming service in t-minus two days. (Engadget) In other F-U Apple related news, Samsung released an ad showing just how durable their […]

What do you do when your significant other drunkenly breaks up with you? You ask Bwog! The Question: Dear Bwog, I remember you guys used to do a bunch of these… so here it is: last night, my girlfriend told me she needed a break. She was really drunk and she said it in passing, […]
