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.

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.

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, […]

Power procrastinator Robert Sheardown decided to use Butler for a social experiment rather than studying. Think Columbians take their studying way too seriously? Find out what happens when precious Butler’s silence (lol is Butler ever REALLY silent?) is interrupted.  Butler Library – serene, peaceful, studious, and apparently impervious to the sound of Nicki Minaj’s Anaconda […]

Overheard in a Butler hallway from a guy on the phone: “Sometimes I feel like if I could go back in time, I would seriously murder some philosophers. Seriously! When I was writing my paper today, I was like ‘yeah, I would do it. I would murder Aristotle.’ And I was okay with that.” Methinks: […]

Sweden became the first country in the EU to officially recognize the Palestinian state. This was done in the hopes of helping a peaceful two-state solution. (RT News) Despite the embarrassing White House security breech, American citizens still have positive opinions of the Secret Service. 64% percent trust the Secret Service to protect good ol’ […]

Last night, Switchfoot (they still exist) held a concert right here in Roone Arledge Auditorium.  Switchfoot Groupie Paula Pineros jumped on the opportunity to see the band and relayed how it went. The second I heard there would be a Switchfoot concert in New York City, I got excited. The second I heard that I […]
