This young couple in Afghanistan is willing to risk it all to be together. (NYT) LSD ain’t coke but it’s still one hell of a drug, seeing as it hasn’t been used in a scientific study for about 40 years… until now.  Far out. (Gawker) Colombia’s former president (no, not Eisenhower) has just been elected to […]

Columbia has fucked us all over at some point. The saga continues. This morning several occupants of a John Jay floor had something rather unfortunate and very annoying occur: Columbia nabbed all of the Ving cards that had been left in residents’ doors. A couple of folks got locked out of their rooms while others were […]

Only a few more days until spring officially begins, and that means it’s internship-hunting season. Assuming you did a good job selling your strengths as a candidate got lucky at the career fair and scored an interview, here’s a step-by-step guide on ruining your chances. Forget what position you are applying for because you sent […]

We all felt the wrath of losing an extra hour of sleep last night that we could have desperately used with the encroaching week of hell. In times of distress, it is best to know that you are not alone; everyone else is equally pissed (or happy?) In order to further make people listen to […]

Saturday night, the Columbia Bach Society put on a performance of Henry Purcell’s opera Dido and Aeneas. Bwog sent our trusty opera extraordinaire Alexandra Svokos to check out the show and report. We all know this Alexandra can’t say no to a good opera. Space at Columbia is likely the performing art community’s greatest challenge. […]

Bwog isn’t afraid to shed some modesty and admit we give you a good excuse to take a break/procrastinate from too many fucking notecards or explosive brain syndrome in Butler. Here’s an idea: come procrastinate with us in person! Bwog will be meeting tonight at 7pm in the SGO Room on the 5th Floor of […]

It’s midterm time so Bwog is continuing one of our favorite types of series: archetypes, specifically College Walk Archetypes. We all recognize certain people/groups of people as we sprint from Ferris to Havemeyer in the morning. Mind you, our idea of “College Walk” is really anything from Butler to Low, so be prepared for some real […]

Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. As always, feel free to mention any events we may have missed in the comments section (and/or mock our typos) and we’ll add them. Our […]

On Thursday, the GS Alliance hosted a panel of queer activists (Emma Caterine, a community organizer at Red Umbrella Project; Dominick, author of Dean Johnson’s Reading for Filth; and Ryan Thoreson, a JD candidate at Yale Law School with extensive experience with LGBT NGOs) to discuss the issue of trans sex workers’ rights. Curious Bwogger […]

Housing approacheth. And, unless you’re on top of it, it’s probably coming up sooner than you think. Bwog’s got you covered; we’ll be rolling out two housing reviews per day until no residence hall is left un-reviewed. Prepare to get (even more) excited: this year, we’re reviewing Barnard residence halls, too. Reviews for all! Today’s […]

You call yourself a champion speller and you can’t spell ‘stifling‘? (Philly.com) Our girl JLaw would never lie and you know that, Jared Leto. (USA Today) Isaiah Washington and his homophobic slurs will return to Grey’s Anatomy this season. (Entertainment Weekly) Aaaand all of these things are almost as disappointing as the fact we just […]

Damn, wouldn’t some mozzarella sticks and chicken wings, a Jamba Juice, and maybe even a chocolate milkshake be delicious right now? This rat thought so too, but was disappointed to find that JJ’s Place was closed at this hour. There on the steps he cried, until a human found him and crafted a crude Snapchat. […]

In 1962, a Columbia grad in English Literature fell upon hard times and started writing soft-core porn to get by. Today, Loren Beauchamp, aka Robert Silverberg, is a highly successful science fiction writer. But his soft-core porn masterpieces survive, including one set at a fictionalized Columbia University. Bwog’s resident porn expert Busty Macmillions takes you […]

This weekend, CU Players is performing Bertolt Brecht’s 1939 work “Mother Courage and Her Children.” You can still catch their final performance tonight at 8:00 pm at the Minor Latham Playhouse in Milbank. Bwog sent our drama doyen Ali Sawyer to see the show. Right until the end, the line between performance and reality is […]
