The Barnard Biology Department recently held its annual honey extraction on Friday, and you’re supposed to go listen to the wonderful Professor Jon Snow talk about his research on bees and honey. Obviously, I went, but didn’t listen to Professor Snow and instead just gorged myself on lots of brie smothered in honey. (Shoutout to […]

On Campus: Columbia’s Pops Orchestra is performing today at 2:30 in […]

On Friday night, Columbia Astronomy Outreach held their bi-monthly public lecture and stargazing series.

It’s coming. For some, it may even already be here. Finals season is upon us, and if you’re anything like me, you may be a little more open to making reckless choices than you usually would be. If you’ve already committed to one unnecessary choice, what’s one more? And if you haven’t figured out how […]

Last night, senior staffers Betsy Ladyzhets and Sarah Harty had the privilege of attending the Columbia Musical Theater Society’s production of Spring Awakening, a musical about sexual repression gone horribly wrong. The CMTS production was intense, confusing, beautiful, and powerful in equal measures. The doors and programs of the Columbia Musical Theater Society’s production of […]

The first snow has fallen. The Rockefeller Center tree has been lit. Michael Bublé has come out of hibernation. In other words, it’s Christmastime, and Bwog is here to give you the definitive best playlist of 2018.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who’s the wisest one of them all? It’s clearly not that kid who always comes ten minutes late to your Spanish class or your hallmate that accidentally dropped a toothbrush in the toilet.

Cooking with Bwog is back! In case you haven’t noticed, it’s cold now, and soup is a good food to eat when you’re cold, so today at Bwog we’re making dumpling soup. I actually made this last week but whatever. You can make it tonight. I got this recipe from Maangchi’s YouTube channel. Ingredients: Beef […]

There is a locked door in the back of 1020. There is only one question: what lays within? I have an answer. Locked doors that no one ever opens are usually a sign that something sinister is going on, especially in dark and slightly dirty locations (however much you may like 1020, I don’t think […]
