If you haven’t already figured it out from all the new car ads (okay you got us, the last one is actually a Doritos ad), the Superbowl is this Sunday! Whether you’re a die-hard fan (i.e. planning to support one of the two teams playing), or you’ll be watching the Puppy Bowl instead, we know […]

On Monday night, those with a taste for the finer things in life gathered for a poetry reading by Nick Laird and Timothy Donnelly. Both men have done the seemingly impossible: they have made careers out of poetry (*gasp!). Bwog’s master of rhythm and rhyme, Claire Friedman, reports. I arrived slightly late and had to […]

We don’t know about you, but thinking about the future makes us want to cry. Getting a real job, being a productive member of society, having to, like, pay for stuff…it’s giving us stress dreams. At this point, we’re super thankful for tipsters who make us feel like “cat-lady” is a valid aspiration: “We could […]

John Jay let out a collective scream yesterday when housing announced that their elevator (cause of much strife) will not be fixed for another three to four weeks. Three. To. Four. Weeks. So, for all you JJ residents out there, that means another MONTH of twenty minute lines, cramming fifteen people into the elevator, and […]

Around 11 AM today, we started receiving tips about a massive noise heard at the 620 residence hall on 116th. Although our thoughts immediately jumped to the Cloverfield monster, the source of the noise appears to be something much less reptilian: the boiler. According to eyewitnesses, 620’s boiler exploded, producing massive amounts of smoke and […]

A new semester means more chances for you to go to Columbia’s delicious greenmarket! Go buy yourself some yummy, farm-fresh food and take a break from the massive amounts of reading you already have piling up.  As always, the greenmarket is open year-round on Sundays and Thursdays and accepts credit, debit, and EBT. There is […]

In case you were wondering what happened to all those pigeon-carried-notes you sent to your friend, scientists have finally figured out the phenomenon that’s known as the “homing pigeon Bermuda Triangle.” (BBC) Oh, the price of beauty! Ashton Kutcher goes to great lengths to keep dat body. (Philly) Rihanna continues to sink lower in our […]

As campus groups are still rolling into the new season and you still don’t have a shit-ton of work, why not go further?  Break out of the bubble while you still have the chance and catch some of Bwog staff’s cultural picks for the week.

If you act quickly enough (read: start moving now), you can make tonight’s free food event, a.k.a. Community Impact’s Open House. Get your monthly exercise in by running to Earl Hall for free pizza, coffee, and cupcakes (remember, it’s our birthday). The event lasts until 8:30 and, you know, you might even help out the […]

Are we really the only ones who masochistically love late-night lucubration in Butler? The taste of the corn muffins from Butler Café, especially after they’re a bit stale because then they don’t crumble so much? Whizzing by 45 steps on the banister from the third to the second floor? The extremely bright or dim “mood” […]

Seven lucky years ago, Bwog emerged from a womb of coding to shake things up and bring smart opinions on relevant and important discussions.  We’ve had our fair share of growing pains, both big and significant as well as kind of ridiculous.  Bwog definitely has loads more growth to go through, but at least now we […]
