Definitely Not A couple with poor timing reportedly attempted to enter the mile high club on 9/11. The couple’s prolonged absence from their seats prompted an emergency landing and arrest by a team of SWAT officers. (Gothamist) According to a riveting profile on a turnstyle-jumping youth, shirking your subway fee is the first step towards […]

We’re ashamed that we logged on at midnight to check this, but we did. USNews & World Report still ranks Columbia at #4 for the second year in a row behind HYP. PS It’s real this time.

The Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege and luxury we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus that will hopefully make you realize how lucky we are to be here. We’ll even lecturehop a few. Our recommendations are below and the full list […]

Dearest Friends, Here we find ourselves—back in school. Reading Bwog in our lecture classes (possibly in your seminar if you are a particularly naughty minx). For students both new and old, we’re beat. Already, we are defeated. We need to step back, be amongst friends, and take a moment or two to get some perspective […]

The new student council, led by President Aki Terasaki, introduced themselves to each other and onlookers. To get to know each other […]

Some kind souls are giving out free ice pops on Low steps. Go nab some while it’s hot!

Keep your eyes open for the September issue of The Blue & White, coming soon to campus. Until then, Bwog will honor our heritage/amorous affair with our mother magazine by posting highlights of the upcoming issue online. Among the treats to look forward to: a litany of bizarre and outdated freshman hazing rituals, a conversation with a luminary […]

We’ve known for a while that Chuck Norris can do almost anything—even endorse Republican presidential candidates. But we didn’t really realize his awesome power until we bought what we THOUGHT was just an ordinary day planner at the Bookstore. “Men are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth.” – Chuck Norris […]

Here are a few more quotes from your witty and wry professors. Like, um… Pringles, the, uh, fun of professor remarks doesn’t stop after the first day. Feel free to send in any weird, kitschy, or cute thing your professor says as the year progresses. Prof. Musatti ”Unfortunately, most societies still believe in…monogamy.” John Magyar, […]
