In case you haven’t heard, Bwinder is the new Tinder. Bwumble is the new Bumble. Bwindr is the new Grindr. I could go on. We’re nearing the end of January, which means there’s only one last holiday to celebrate with your significant other– or for most people, a lack thereof. Tired of hearing cheesy pickup lines on various […]

New Bwogger Jeffrey Ndubisi noticed that CUIT has not been giving students the best version of Microsoft Word. He decided to call them out for it in his first Bwog post.

One year ago today, on January 27th 2018, Managing Editor Zack Abrams saw the film Phantom Thread for the first time. He has since watched it six more times. In honor of that auspicious anniversary, here are campus buildings as food items that Reynolds ordered in the breakfast scene. 

Bucket List represents the intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus.

I bring this up because Buy/Sell/Trade at Barnard has become so overstuffed with textbooks and people cleaning out their closets […]

Sure, this post could be avoided in its entirety if Newsletter Editor Eva Sher had the patience to wait in line for an omelette a.k.a. the superior version of eggs. But she doesn’t. The scrambled eggs are already done, and it is a miracle that she went to the dining hall in the first place. Let […]

Like all CC students who pretends they actually read all two-hundred-something pages of Plato’s Republic, we here at Bwog like to say that we have a passion for civic duty. Bwog has four Bureau Chiefs who cover the weekly meetings of each of Columbia’s four undergraduate student councils (CCSC, ESC, SGA, and GSSC). Each Bureau Chief […]

The former Greek cafe Artopolis, located between 113th and 114th street and Amsterdam, has become a Columbia staple famous through brunch foods like crepes, pastries, and omelets. However, the restaurant recently reopened under a new name, “The New York Basics,” and boasts a new menu.

In Social Media Editor Idris O’Neill’s utopia, Barnard’s dining points and Columbia’s dining dollars would be equal and Joe Coffee would accept said forms of currency.
