We are deep into shopping period, and there’s little our professors can say to get a laugh out of us. That doesn’t mean they won’t try. Thanks for the thought, professors. We thought we’d continue our tradition of compiling the best soundbites from the past week of classes to share with you, because we care […]

A sunken ship called the HMS Terror was discovered in the Arctic, roughly 168 years after its shipwreck. Apparently, its voyage (with the ultimate goal of finding the Northwest Passage) was doomed from the start–probably because the Northwest Passage doesn’t exist. We suggest you name your ships a little better next time, @British Royal Navy. […]

After the first week of classes, Columbia students did not let us down by having a weekend full of bad decisions, regrets, and first years drinking bad alcohol. We bring you the tales of this weekend’s degeneracy for your reflection as you weep in Butler on a Monday night. If you have any notes from […]

As we settle into the new year, some of us have upgraded our housing from last year in different ways—including dropping our roommates. However, some people, like myself, have struggled with remembering a key fact: just because you don’t have a roommate doesn’t mean that no one is watching. My new single is so shafted […]

Following the passing of GS student Uri Florez, extensive support opportunities have been extended to students grieving the loss of their fellow classmate. GSSC President Julian LaRosa announced in an email that student leaders and Columbia MilVets are providing extended office hours as an addition to the typical support resources. The group will be hosting the open meetings at […]

New York City is packed with amazing culture and inspiring art, but sometimes it’s difficult to break the Morningside-bubble and experience it all first-hand. “Where Art Thou” is a weekly guide to interesting and notable lectures, events, and performances for the literary/musically/ theatrically-inclined on campus. Tuesday, September 13 Tomo Mori: Concerto Encircling, 5:30 pm, Miller […]

Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was diagnosed with pneumonia Sunday afternoon after stumbling out of a 9/11 memorial event in the morning. We can’t wait to hear what Trump has to say about this. He’ll probably blame it on menstruation. (CNN) Carnegie Deli is offering a giant sandwich for free to models in New York Fashion Week […]

The first weekend at Columbia is ending, and many doe-eyed freshies are getting accustomed to Butler (or is Butler getting accustomed to the freshies?). Either way, some are bound to spend a number of late, late nights in Butler, taking advantage of the calm and emptiness to pour their hearts out into their work. For […]

So we’re back from summer and settling into our primitively furnished, university-provided dwellings, right? Well, turns out we can’t even rely on Columbia or Barnard to even meet the primitive room necessities which we actually kinda require. In her latest investigation, Internal Editor Betsy Ladyzhets peers into the murky pool of Barnard’s facilities—but she sees no reflection. […]

Bwog, like your average non-denominational Christian church, assembles every Sunday to meet, reflect upon the week, and plan ahead for the future. We know you didn’t go to church (what would our friend Augustine say?) so do something to cleanse your soul and come to our wholesome, totally 100% non-alcoholic, mother approved meeting tonight. As this is our […]

The school year has only just begun, and yet we’ve already suffered through at least a week of dining hall food. Many people on campus have sensitive allergies or food preferences that they adhere to, and it can be difficult to find places outside of the labeled options in John Jay that will cater to […]

With another weekend of nighttime activities just concluded, Barnumbia students are beginning to realize they shouldn’t be partying like it’s still NSOP. As we prepare to hunker down in the air-conditioned tomb of Butler, staff writer Gabrielle Kloppers has put together a playlist to prepare you for the multiple Red Bulls you’ll be downing to […]

Floating Hanjin Shipping, a South Korean container and shipping lines, officially went bankrupt on August 31st. As of today, 14.5 billion dollars worth of goods remains floating around the world’s seas, and 66 of Hanjin’s container ships cannot enter into most ports. What will happen to these goods and Hanjin is still being hashed out. […]

Now that you’re off the jumbo frosh meal plan and have your own kitchen, or have returned to campus from a land of cheaper food, you may be struggling to justify paying obscene prices for staples like Cheerios ($6 for a box?!) or favorites like avocados ($2.99 at Westside and MoWill). We’re in the same […]

We hope you all had a great and sweaty time at the Activities Fair yesterday–we got ice pops from some Christians, which was nice! If you came by our table, you may have heard us talk about the Daily Editor position, which is one of the multiple ways to get involved with Bwog as a […]
