Last night was Wien’s first ever party, in case you somehow missed all the frantic advertising. Bwog was regrettably not in attendance, but after some quick sleuthing through our Columbia Admirers Facebook feed we were able to come up with a good idea of what it must have been like. Below, a fictionalized take on […]

The most recent cataclysmic disaster to hit Morningside prompted the parents of Bwog to get out their phones and text – text like the wind! When compared to Sandy though, they don’t seem to be nearly as concerned. Apparently, Nemo is less of a blizzard and more of a flurry. Tell us about your crazy […]

Last night (and this morning), ambitious programmers participated in the Devfest Hackathon, a marathon of hacking which started at 6 pm on Friday and ended today at noon. Bwog sent Developer Devotee Maud Rozee to visit the scene. Blizzard Nemo was raging at 11:30 last night when I visited the Devfest Hackathon, making the trip […]

In case you missed it, campus was hit with Winter Storm Nemo yesterday! Don’t mind the scary headlines though! Here, at Columbia, your fellow students engaged in all sorts of fun wintry activities. Update: specksucks even joined in on the fun.

In the Brazilian town of Santo Antonio de Platina, they’re not so much worried about a snowstorm as they are a spider storm. A young man filmed what a local biologist calls “normal behavior” and uploaded it to Youtube. I’d much rather deal with Nemo! (Gawker)   In London, they are doing whatever it takes […]

For this snowy Friday evening, Bwog presents two One Direction lovers. Maybe there’s a correlation? As always, contact us if you want to pogo-stick or play a scavenger hunt game with one of these fine single folk — or if you want to submit your own personal — at personals@bwog.com. Name, Year, School, Major: Dylan […]

Tonight’s Valentine’s Day Mixer, hosted by CU Admirers, actually advertises itself as “Wien’s first party,” so that’s not us trying to be funny. We’re just reporting the facts, and the apparent free cupcakes, cookies, and other sweet pink-and-red festooned foods that will be available tonight—along with a shot at true love, if the impassioned event […]

In their long campaign for Faculty House Workers’ rights, Student Worker Solidarity staged a protest today. Undeterred by the snow, they stood their ground mid-Nemo and, with their bravery and shouting, gained the attention of Columbia’s campus. Say what you want about them or their cause, but that takes some serious cojones. Protest in the Snow […]

Ever since you went to that first Columbia info session in Havemeyer 309, the entire room feels like success. Sitting in the uncomfortable wooden chairs with their too-small-by-far desks reminds you that you made it and that you’d better do your damndest to enjoy it. As your pencil rolls off your desk for the fifth […]

In case you weren’t already aware, in the next 24 hours this city will either be completely the same or swallowed up by historic amounts of snow.  By now you should know that Bwog loves storm hype, so we’re hunkering down and gettin’ pumped for whatever will come.  To that end, we’ve prepared some schedules […]

In the past few days, Bwog has received many tips and comments about the hazing scandal within Columbia’s Greek community. We reached out to IGC, Student Affairs, students, etc. for more detailed information, especially after news broke on Wednesday night. Spec got confirmation that some fraternity was losing their charter from the Inter-Greek Council Judicial […]

Due to the snowstorm approaching (a.k.a. either a light dusting of snow or a full-blown Snowpocalypse), Barnard is closing at 4 p.m. today for “non-essential personnel.” That means that Friday evening classes and weekend classes are cancelled — as if you were gonna go to your weekend classes tomorrow anyway — but events such as […]

Outside the LLC: “You know, the saddest thing about growing up is that you try and go back and watch old cartoons and they’re just not funny anymore.” We respectfully disagree. I mean, old cartoons are still awesome. Here’s some nautical nonsense (with commentary on the deceitfulness of marketing, the challenges of making money in […]

I lost my Forrest Green North Face with furry hood at Mel’s on 2/7/13. It was on a table by the windows near the door. Reward given if returned. Contact lrg2134@barnard.edu if found!
