It snowed yesterday, which makes it officially almost winter break. That and looming finals. Which is why Live at Lerner and Ferris Reel Film Society are bringing you dinner and a movie. Not that it won’t be hard to find a friend with extra swipes in case you miss out on the free ones: ‘Tis […]

Resident Noam Chomsky fangirl and resident lecture enthusiast Elizabeth Self muses on hearing the man himself lecture at Columbia. Even if it was in Schermerhorn. Last week, Noam Chomsky gave the Fall 2013 Dewey Lectures at Columbia, themed, “What kind of Creatures Are We?” The lectures also were apparently advertised nowhere outside Philosophy Hall, and […]

Hamilton, host to frantic blackboard scribblings and the occasional Miley-inspired masterpiece.

The incredible Joseph Milholland skipped out on a night of celebrating before the last day of classes and Bwog cupcakes to go to the last CCSC meeting of the semester and boy was it full of song, dance, nostalgia, and presents. Hey, Joseph goes to every meeting, he should totally have a CCSC Secret Santa. […]

It’s the last day of classes finally already? So have some Bwoglines. Women in NYC prefer taller men, based on a rigorous polling of the boroughs and a blurb from some Columbia professor. Look, statistics, that means it must be true. (NY Post, Gothamist) Finals really are killing you slowly: apparently caffeine shortens your DNA, […]

It’s the most wonderful time of the yeeeEEaar! Shouting from the hollows of the 6th floor of Butler, one patron even described it as “like Christmas Day!!” Tonight, beginning around 4pm, mysterious particles of frozen water began to ascend from the almighty heavens down upon us all. Luckily, it was the pretty snow that mostly […]

Momma Bwog is already worried about all of you kids being sad and your mental health and it’s not even the last day of classes yet. To cheer you all up and bring you back to some happier times away from work, Bwoggers bugged asked tonight’s patrons of Butler what is their happy place to survive […]

….why there are so many fucking people in Butler. At 9 am, which is when this photo was snapped. And also at 7:30 pm, which is when this post was posted. It’s still really crowded in here. You may be better off “studying” in bed, where no one can see how often you’re switching tabs […]

Bwog always loves a good Suite and admires those you take the effort to make their space unique and f@b. Design dilettante Lauren Beltrone dons her Mickey Ears and grabs her Fastpass for a tour. Welcome to Suite 1610, where there’s a speaker system in the bathroom, enough comfy couches to seat a small army, and […]

Bwog hates to break it to you, but tomorrow is officially the last day of classes for the semester. While these bitch of a couple weeks have already begun for some, we just want to warn you that it’s time that you remove yourself from your bed and start to mozy on over to Butler […]

For their final issue of The Blue and White, editor in chief Conor Skelding, CC ’14, and managing editor Anna Bahr, BC ’14, duked it out over Who Knows What They’re Talking About in a favorite reoccurring feature of prose and cons, “At Two Swords’ Length“. You, dear readers, have the pleasure of being their judge […]

Ladies, you’d best listen up. There’s some creepy shit going down at the Barnard library right now. These alarming tips just came in: “Man in Barnard library just asked me to remove shoes so he could see my feet. What is going on, Bwog” “There have been reports of a man coming into Barnard’s Lehman […]

This past Thursday, Columbia/Barnard’s Jewish a cappella group Pizmon jammed at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in honor of Chanukah, Presidents, America, and the end of the semester. Maybe not the last one, but you get the celebratory idea. Bwog does not speak Hebrew so we never really know what Pizmon is saying, but man do we […]

Mama Bwog knows you are all just dying for an excuse to leave Butler for an hour or two. Head over to the Global Charity Santa Dash today at 11am (we know, run!!) with your best Santa attire to either run the race or just take pity on the pour souls exercising while you sip […]

Listen up Barnard girls. Apparently Nelson Mandela was the ultimate feminist. (CNN) Jay Z grabbed 9 Grammy nominations. Must be that new Vegan diet. (BBC) Some Columbia researchers grew lung cells out of human stem cells. (University Herald) Bill Braskey returned to SNL along with some great past cast members. Watch below. You’re welcome. (NBC)
