You’ve been party to late endless nights at Butler enough times to know attempts at shutting down the party would only result in a dislocation of the party.

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.

We decided to […]

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!
