4/20 conveniently lands on a Friday this year, meaning there’s a whole lot to do around campus in terms of food, parties, and other events than skipping class and heading to Riverside. Bwog’s crack team researchers have compiled a list of events so you don’t have to. Bike to Campus Day: In a truly, um, green […]

This morning PrezBo sent out an email about Sexual Assault Awareness Month.  This is especially poignant now in light of recent local incidents and different debates.  Bollinger writes, “Sexual assault is an act of violence that takes many forms and exists across society, and it is a problem demanding special attention in university communities.  In […]

In the beginning was the McKinsey report, and the McKinsey report was a BFD.

As the dark nights of our collective souls draw nearer, it would seem that our classmates have already begun to lose it. Exhibit A:

Ever had twenty-five Heights margaritas in one night? Bwog has, cumulatively. Kicking Bacchaweekend off right, the brave among us hit early happy hour last Thursday… and stayed there well into the next one. It was awkwardly empty, it was frighteningly crowded. It was strangely sober, it was blackout drunk. But most of all, it was […]

Update: Looks like Columbia won! Bwog is a big fan of self-referential jokes, so we can’t help but be amused by big and important law students making fools of themselves for the approval of their peers.
