Now that Breaking Bad is over, Bwog has to wonder what Hartley Hospitality Desk workers do whilst ignoring our maintenance requests to: have our locks fixed, get our broken toilets replaced (looking at you, Carman), and help us raise/lower/rebuild our beds. Naturally, we knew Blue Cheetah would have the answer, as our trusty source for […]

Janelle Batta, BC ’11, might be a boring paralegal by day (she thanks LionSHARE for that), but by night she saves the animals of New York City. There’s a fundraiser from 7-10 pm tomorrow night—Pawty at Pourhouse—where your alcoholism can benefit the animals of the animal rescue All Sentient Beings. Bwog’s Feline Fanatic Sarah Faith […]

Bwog asked for the weird things seen in textbooks. Here’s what we got. No shit, Sherlock: From a book on McCarthyism: “It’s hard to have a witch-hunt without witches” The editors forgot to take it out of the final draft: From a chapter on cyclic molecules: “‘Clearly the ring had an unwholesome power…’ —J.R.R. Tolkien, Lord […]

Bwog was tipped about an interesting addition to a double in the LLC. Check out the picture and post below. Sometimes even a double can feel lonely, which may explain why a pair of roommates chose to welcome a life-size poster of baseball player Ty Cobb into their home. Now, it serves as a welcoming and terrifying surprise […]

It was a night of memes, millionaire know-how, passionate creativity, and indispensable advice.

Today Bwog ventured into the Butler Cafe and stumbled upon this marvelous muffin. Brown and beautiful, domed and doubtful, it drew us closer. Marked as “bran-tastic” we even felt an urge to try it. But then we saw a Red Bull and drank that instead.

In which Bwog brings you The Small Victories of Midterms: illustrations of the little things that make you feel good during midterm season.
