In our newest installment of WTF, Columbia, a senior describes an all-too-familiar experience: messy communication in housing. Before school had even started, I submitted a maintenance request to have my bed raised. On the first day of school I realized this was a stupid idea, so I went to Housing and asked them to cancel […]

The “A Thousand Miles” music video came to life today. According to a tipster, a group of ~unidentified students~ “purchased” a free piano from Craigslist and moved it from lower Manhattan to Pupin and then down Broadway. It was, according to said tipster, “pretty epic,” “weighed over 900 pounds,” and “also, a bus driver helped.” Pictures of the […]

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.
