Tuck yourself into your John Jay single, pull out a Nalgene full of happiness (however you take that to mean), and take a sip every time you come across one of these typical Lit Hum tropes while […]

Bwog sees things other people wouldn’t notice because it’s Bwog’s job. Who else would keep Columbia update on squirrel antics? Who else would try to do a liveblog of a library? Perhaps most importantly, who else would identify questionable patterns in administrator behavior? While reminiscing and going through old pictures, this gem of a PrezBo […]

This morning, a small crowd came out to observe the unveiling of the Diana Center’s new mural, the brainchild of SGA arts and culture representative Adrienne Nel, BC ’16, in order to bring more public art to campus.

Welcome to day two of reading week, hopefully you haven’t already burned through the Starbucks gift card your mom gave you. As things start to get a little #dark now that you realize that research paper you thought you had forever to do is, in fact, due tomorrow. Or maybe that’s just Bwog. To take […]

With the death grip of finals slowly tightening like a noose around our necks, Bwog felt it would be best to bring some humor and joy back to everyone’s lives.
