On Campus: “She, herself, said it”: Tonight at 8 PM, head […]

I know we love to hate dining hall food because we get sick of the Ferris-John Jay-JJ’s (plus Diana and Hewitt—if you still refuse to go to Hewitt, it’s literally your loss) rotation, and this might be a spicy hot take, but dining hall cookies are good. They are the beacons of lawful good in this […]

Year after year, you find yourself scrambling through your closet for clothes you can hastily turn into a costume. Despite knowing exactly when Halloween happens every year and the fact that it happens, again, every year, you are never ready for it. While you could settle for some of the real horrors Columbia has faced this […]

Staff Writer Ezra Lerner stopped by the Columbia University College Republicans’ latest speaker event on October 24. Although Mark Krikorian is less high-profile than other speakers the group has brought to campus, he used similar far-right rhetoric.  In recent semesters, CUCR has been heavily criticized for inviting prominent far-right speakers, including Tommy Robinson, Ann Coulter, and Mike Cernovich. Mark Krikorian, […]

Managing Editor Betsy Ladyzhets loves Beat poetry and strong female characters. Naturally, she has a lot to say about NOMADS’ “The Other Side,” a new original musical by Eden Gordon (BC ’19), after attending the show’s first performance last night. Two weeks ago, my American literature class read “Howl and Other Poems” by Allen Ginsberg. […]

e’s Bar had their highly anticipated grand opening night last Thursday and is stepping in to fill the void left by Amigos. We here at Bwog had some curiosities, as we do, so we asked them some questions and got some answers. (The interview has been lightly edited for readability.) 

Here it is. We’ve saved the most basic for last. Bwog worked behind the scenes for months tinkering with these formulas and we can finally present you with the final work in this series (probably). CC students are the largest part of Columbia’s largest undergraduate population, and as such, make for the best sample size for […]

This Wednesday, Guest Writer Sophie Tobin attended the dress rehearsal of KCST’s Mourning Becomes Electra by Eugene O’Neill, based on the Ancient Greek Oresteia. Despite some successful design and directing elements, the show was dragged down by acting that didn’t live up to its difficult script. The King’s Crown Shakespeare Troupe’s production of Mourning Becomes […]

This Bwogger is now a junior in Columbia College. She does not run out of ambulances anymore. We left to go to EC, but then one of us got hungry, so we decided to go to JJ’s. Next thing I knew, one of my middle school friends threw up into a clear plastic garbage bag in […]

It was 12:30 AM in the morning. My suitemates and I had just finished watching a movie, and we didn’t like any of the options on Postmates.
