Look, the endpoint is in sight. Dorm rooms are emptying of the hipster junk you thought would look cool but ended up just taking up space. Stress and sleep deprivation have blanketed a calm over the campus. Focus, and you’ll be able to endure. Try studying in one of those lesser known libraries that probably […]

You’ve been there. You might be there right now. Here’s a compilation of the most horrifyingly dark tips we’ve gotten so far this final’s season. Please don’t hurt anyone: Dear girl who told me to be quiet when I was talking to my friend in my lounge, It’s super awesome how you passive aggressively asked […]

Bwog continues asking the important questions. Brawny Barnard Bear Maud Rozee thinks about how sweet it would be if the new Barnard library were a skyscraper. Recently, DSpar declared that Barnard would be building a new library. Where will the money come from? Nobody knows, but nobody’s going to question it. Sure, Barnard’s current library […]

A statement sent out by Columbia cleared up some of the details of the USenate smoking ban talked about at the last meeting, stating that the smoking areas seen on the map will go into effect on July 1. Notably, one of the areas is in front of Butler, so studiers stepping outside for a breath […]

Butler is a prime example of the Hobbesian state of nature, as any CC student is sure to have realized by now. However, Bwog doesn’t think this means we have to be assholes to each other; despite the complete lack of accountability, we are more civilized than that. Some unwritten rules exist in Butler. We decided to […]

Just in time for the last week, Bwog is putting out another challenge to you all you photoshop-skilled procrastinators out there because of the amazing products of the Gulati photoshop contest. This time, DSpar is getting the photoshop treatment. We have chosen a professional, versatile, and still slightly intimidating photograph of Barnard’s great president. Bonus […]

Just in case you tried to get to sleep early last night, the screaming and caterwauling coming from everywhere in Morningside Heights that woke you up at 12 AM was the Primal Scream, the traditional Sunday before finals venting of stress. Bwog took some videos so everyone can relive the catharsis. Footage from outside Butler […]

The weekend is gone and you probably didn’t get anything done. That’s okay. Now it’s time to buckle down and get this over with. Just remember: it’s the last Monday of the semester! You can do it! Bwog believes in you! Bwogline: Austria’s Conchita Wurst won the Eurovision Song Contest yesterday. And now you’re going […]

Almost 100 faculty members have signed a letter calling for Columbia University to improve its sexual assault policies. The letter supports the recent complaints filed against Columbia for its handling of sexual assault under Title IX, Title II and the Clery Act. It condemns Columbia’s response, and calls for “serious and substantial reform with strong […]

Time to learn some valuable lessons before your second wave of finals hits. Our next Senior Wisdom comes from Ben Harris, who used to have three goldfish named Chicken, Noodle, and Soup. Name, Hometown, School, Major: Ben Harris, San Francisco (okay, okay, north of San Francisco…okay, the suburbs), Columbia College, Political Science Claim to fame: […]

“Bwog, what’s happening?” “Bwog, I think someone is getting murdered outside my window?” “Bwog, someone in Butler is SCREAMING!!!!” These are all tips we will probably get tonight. Why? Primal Scream is tonight at midnight. For about 5 minutes, things are going to get loud. And primal. Because tomorrow is Monday and we all have […]

Bwog’s been spending a lot of time pondering the mysteries of Columbia lately. Baker Belittler Jon Lesser lets us know how great it would be if we had a shiny stadium instead of a smelly business school. In the days of Columbia old, the Morningside community could gather on any given fall Saturday around South […]

Next up for a Senior Wisdom: Sarina Bhandari, who “could have been a guest on MTV’s Catfish.” Name, Hometown, School, Major: Sarina Bhandari, Los Altos Hills, CA, Sociology (which I love) and the Business Concentration (so I can get a job). Claim to fame: To this day no one really knows whether my escape from […]
