This past Monday, Barnard president Deborah Spar talked about her new book, Wonder Women: Sex, Power, and the Quest for Perfection. Quest perfectionist Isabella Johnson was there.  DSpar’s latest book is a “hybrid” of cultural history, social analysis and personal anecdote. Wonder Women: Sex, Power and the Quest for Perfection is her take on the […]

Bwog decided to revisit days of study abroad programs past and sent resident culture arbiter Alexander Pines to RoomHop Emily Hyatt’s (CC’14) beautiful, villa inspired EC Townhouse single.    “Basically everyone thinks I have a gay Pace University flag,” Emily says when I walk in, indicating a slightly singed rainbow flag with “PACE” (pronounced pah-ché) […]

In yet another bout of gullibility the Internet has collectively fallen for a fake Playboy site applauding consensual colleges and giving tips for having a good time between the sheets without taking advantage of other humans. It turns out that the list was an elaborate hoax organized by anti-rape organization FORCE: Upsetting Rape Culture, and […]

On Thursday 9/19/13 I found a small ring in Schermerhorn 501. I brought it to the Psychology Department Office in Schermerhorn 406.  

Bwog’s been receiving a lot of tips asking for relationship advice, so we’ve put on our red Jeanne Phillips suit to tackle this doozy tonight: Today was the first day of classes, and with new classes comes seven flights of Hamilton stairs. And new hot men. I entered the lecture hall, and there, like a […]

For Giving Day, on Low Plaza. Admire its majesty as this work of art takes shape. It is black and gold and white all over, and even though Giving Day is over a month away (October 23rd, to be precise), it’s thanking generous-minded Columbians in advance for “changing lives that change the world.” You’re welcome? […]

To start up our In Defense Ofs this semester, Staircase Snob Alexandra Svokos decided to tackle one of the most universally abhorred features of Morningside Heights: the Ferris Booth Staircase. Walking down College Walk this morning, I overheard two girls complaining that the university does not provide any space for students to actually interact with […]

As classes really get rolling, we can only pound through our problem sets (damn you, science requirement!) and bitterly remember that awesome history of witchcraft underwater basket weaving class we had to drop. Because Bwog understands your never-ending thirst for knowledge, we’ve put together a list of nonfiction books that replace entirely match up with […]

Student council elections and the bureaucracy behind them have changed FOREVER. How so? We have a new elections board, chaired by Jeremy Meyers, CC ’15. Meyers explained himself and his spiffy new board to Bwog in this short but sweet interview. Bwog: What’s different this year about the student council elections? Jeremy: This is the […]

Bwog sat down with Timothée Chalamet, CC’17, who recently finished filming a role in Christopher Nolan’s new film Interstellar (in addition to guest starring in Homeland on Showtime and Royal Pains in USA). After missing NSOP for the movies, he’s settling into his first year and planning to limit shoots over breaks. Movie-obsessed senior staff […]

iOS7 is kind of ugly and hard to download, but we’re stuck with it anyway. Embrace it! (Telegraph) Syria isn’t even pretending they don’t have chemical weapons anymore. (The Atlantic Wire) Julie Chen’s bosses are really, really sorry they pressured her to have plastic surgery that one time almost twenty years ago and she did. […]

The next TLC/Discovery/Bravo channel special: the Barnard library whiteboard. Behold, grammar rules broken and put back together. Also, sassiness. Second photo via the Barnard library Twitter account. Thanks, Barnard librarians! Always vigilant.

Last time 2girls had to walk all over the bloody neighborhood the morning after 1girl was “mysteriously sick” (#YOLO) in order to sample the hot chocolate-y goods of various local cafes. This time, that same girl said to the other, “Screw it, I’m not walking. Let’s just buy ice-cream from Westside!” So, 2girls hiked all […]

New members, policy change, and cookies oh my! Monday night’s SGA meeting was one thrill of an assembly and Bwog’s own Lauren Beltrone was there to get all the deets. Andddd the votes are in. The Barnard Class of 2017 has elected Erin Bryk and Sarah Kim as President and VP, respectively! The election couldn’t […]

A tipster on Barnard’s Lehman Lawn overheard this epic accomplishment: I had sex with Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s great grandson last night! It literally doesn’t get more Barnard than that. Bwog agrees that that is as Barnard as it gets. Scientific reconstruction via Wikimedia
