I’m going to start off this callout post by putting it out there that I appreciate and respect my professors. At the same time, I am an economics major. Eco-nom-ics. Not astrophysics, not applied math, not pre-med, and despite all of Prezbo’s lackluster campaigning, not a STEM major. So imagine my reaction when I enrolled in an […]

Ah, Bwog comments. The noble conduit between us, the holy Content Creators, and you, the lowly Reader, allowing for instant feedback. Ever since the first Bwog post to have a comment (which was somehow submitted in the year -0001 and which I’m pretty sure is racist, though it’s too unintelligible to be sure) things have only […]
