You survived Lit Hum/CC and your next final is…well, at least a day away. Take a deep breath, give yourself a hug, and enjoy the break from finals by hopping in bed with us for a few minutes before crashing your head back into the deep recesses of your pillow. Remember, this isn’t a Tarantino film: […]

Here you have it, the dramatic conclusion! Now you can finally watch them all again in order like you did with Harry Potter. “IT’S FINALS WEEK” Arrangement: Connor Spahn & Reuben Arnold Lyrics: Pat Blute & Amirah Sequeira Vocals: Uptown Vocal (uptownvocal.com) and Kasia Borowiec Audio Editing: Tareq Abuissa Choreographer: Victoria Pollack Dancers: Rachel Chavez, […]

Finals officially started today! That’s pretty scary. To get you through, Bwog is seeking the advice of some people who won college—namely, your professors. In today’s Actual Wisdom, we talked to English professor Julie Crawford of Fall 2011 Literary Texts and Critical Methods fame. Justify your existence in 30 words or fewer: All my professional verbs—read, […]

It’s finals season, and you probably can’t help but compare this year’s experience with previous years—was I better prepared? Did I just have a lighter courseload? Hey, when did I stop getting laid? If you’re anything like Bwog, you also miss another fundamental institution often associated with finals: snow. So instead of studying for that […]

As reported by basically everyone, Stanford has withdrawn its bid to construct a science and engineering campus in New York as part of Mayor Bloomberg’s campaign to reinvigorate the city’s reputation as a technology hub. Proposals from Columbia, Cornell, NYU, and Carnegie Mellon are still under consideration. Originally considered a front-runner in the competition, Stanford […]

Think your roommate’s bad? You may be down a stapler and up a few passive-aggressive handwritten notes, but it’s nothing compared to the adversity that some of our classmates apparently face in their dorm rooms each and every day. A concerned tipster reports overhearing the following roommate complaint, in a Starbucks: “I wish I could […]

Like that frathlete you met a few weeks ago at the Heights, Bwog doesn’t really want to be exclusive right now. That’s why we’re bringing back BwogSalon, a feature in which we invite other publications to share an article from a recent issue. So sit back, don’t relax, and procrastinate your studies with the following […]

This afternoon from 4 to 6 pm in the Stephen Donaldson Lounge (in the Furnald basement), CQA is hosting their Ugly Sweater Holiday Party. Conveniently scheduled right after the Lit Hum and CC finals—built-in topics of conversation, mirite?—the sweaterfest includes “hot chocolate, eggnog, cider, milk, cookies, and other snacks.” Inspiration via CQA        

Filming for The Longest Week, a film starring Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde, Billy Crudup, and our very own Jenny Slate (!) and to be released in 2012, is taking place on 116th and Claremont today until 5pm. The plot summary on IMDB, which pretty convincingly suggests that this production won’t win any awards, reads: “Affluent and […]

Update: The band has provided a video showcasing assorted jokes and songs from last night. Relive the action below. Last night, Butler 209 played host to Orgo Night, one of Columbia’s time-honored traditions and the reason many upperclassmen choose to move off campus. Bwog will have a full review later today, but for now, check […]

Bwog shines equally favorably on all cretins of the Core. We did it for CC, and oh, okay, since you insist, Lit Hum gets a bone too. Way back when, a few Bwoggers converted several thousands of pages of reading into limericks—the perfect size for you to memorize in between a breakfast of Red Bull and […]

We’re confident you know the canon inside and out, but it’s our duty as you scramble together your mechanical pencils, graphing calculator, and Naked protein shakes (you never know…) to remind you that holy shit! You forgot something: Update: Okay fine, but we always post this! Sorry to play tricks on you, but we hope […]

Finals start today. Be strong, Columbia. Allow us to whisper sweet nothings in your ear as you blink away the sleep (or lack thereof). This is Bwog in Bed. Bwogline: Facebook released Timeline yesterday, a new feature which puts out front and in order “photos, links and updates for each month and year since they […]

Bonjour! If you are in need of a carbohydrate boost after the exhilaration of Orgo Night spirals down and the dread accompanying the fact that you still have a few thousand words to go on that essay you plan to finish tonight begins to set in, procrastinate even further by stopping by Barnard for the annual Midnight Breakfast. This year, it […]

More adventures await! Missed out on nights I-III? Catch up here. Special thanks go to Dean Valentini, the Marching Band (go to Orgo Night), Charlie Dinkin, Cayle Pietras, Christia Mercer, Zak Dychtwald, Kenny Durell, Emeritus Dean Quigley the Sock Monkey, Rakhi Agrawal, Erik Nook, Pierre Gergis, Karla Casariego, Madeleine Jensen, Olivia Levine, Liz Watson, Hannah […]
