Disclaimer: The MCAT is probably useful for identifying qualified medical school matriculants. In the grand scheme of things, the 2015 MCAT change was probably for the better. Now for my rant… In a happier past, Amigos and Cannons were Morningside Heights fixtures. The US government was paying its employees. And the MCAT (Medical College Admission […]

Over the holidays, Bwog brought you a Christmas playlist to soften the blow of finals while celebrating the ~festive~ atmosphere. However, post-New Year’s, winter is a whole other monster. And it’s really cold. So we made you a playlist for now too:

Happening In The World: Juan Guaidó, the leader of the opposition in Venezuela, has declared himself interim president to solve the country’s ongoing economic crisis. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said that the United States now recognizes Guaidó as the leader of Venezuela. Actual (former?) President Nicolas Maduro cut off diplomatic ties with the U.S. […]

Bwog loves a lot of things: our roommates, St. Luke’s Hospital during Bacchanal, and professors who let us do creative final projects. But perhaps most importantly, we love you. That’s right, as we ring in the new semester, we here at Bwog are again looking for new staff writers to join our jubilant community of grape-loving, Slack-obsessed staffers. Whether […]

Everyone has a “terrible roommate” horror story, which is valid because the tragedy of the commons exists and people are terrible. But that doesn’t mean we should forget the other valiant soldiers: the good roommates who make the hellscape that is communal living downright enjoyable. Today, several Bwoggers salute their roommates, who go above and beyond […]

Big news from Bwog today regarding 2020. Guy-who’s-in-charge-of-snacks-for-the-campaign-office Zack Abrams brings you the announcement. 

As is normal for a student, when you’re constantly analysing university texts left, right, and centre, picking up a book voluntarily is not very common. I too related to this. However, when a four-hour-long hair appointment quite literally forced me to look up from my phone, I refound my childhood love of reading for pleasure as opposed to […]

Happening in the World: Farmers in Edalpur, India locked cows in public schools to prevent them from destroying crops. Nearby villages followed suit, occupying schools with cows and sparking outrage amongst educators. While the issue seems nonsensical on the surface, Prime Minister Narendra Modi believes cows’ sacred status in Hinduism protects them under the law. (Washington […]

Columbia’s indie rock claim to fame, Vampire Weekend, has finally come out of hiding to release new music. Two new songs are to be released on Thursday, one titled “2021,” and more importantly, “Harmony Hall,” presumably named after, you guessed it, the Columbia residence hall. Vampire Weekend is no stranger to making Columbia references in their music; the […]

Bwog hit some high highs and fell to some low lows over the winter break; below are some of the stories and misadventures from that time. Send in your hijinks to tips@bwog.com to be featured. Disclaimer: as ever, Bwog does not condone underage drinking or illegal drug use. Bwog Lived La Vida Loca Smoked a blunt a […]

The only thing that might be wackier than the aggressiveness of the cold wind outside, the still-mediocre SSOL redesign, and this season of The Bachelor combined…..is syllabus week. Whether it’s discussing “that hip new Jay-Z music video” or performing a literal satanic ritual, professors always capitalize upon their first classes to say and do the wackiest, sweetest, funniest, and […]

It’s so fucking cold. Polar winds blast down Manhattan’s avenues. Dogs are reduced to wearing tiny, adorable little baby shoe things if they wish to set foot on the frigid pavement. Those from warmer climes throw on layer after layer to no avail, still finding themselves shivering and their extremities numbed. Perhaps Mother Nature decided it […]

For years, we’ve been getting complaints about how badly our website sucked. The tags didn’t work. It was ugly. It was clunky. It looked old. It was (insert negative adjective here). Trust us, we noticed. And we listened! In fact, we blew our whole snack budget from last semester on a brand spanking new website! […]

We’re all back on campus, so you know what that means: every single performance group is once again soliciting actors, musicians, and other creative types to staff its shows for the semester. Audition season isn’t as insane this semester as it was in the fall, but Hamilton will still be crowded with solos and Shakespeare monologues each night this […]

It’s the first day of the spring semester, so Bwog is back, baby (with a spankin’ new website)! For the uninitiated, welcome to Bwoglines: your daily, bite-sized news digest of what’s going on, both in the world and on campus.  Happening in the World: Since UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s Brexit deal catastrophically failed to […]
