Prince died yesterday in his home state of Minnesota. No cause of death has been released. All we can say is, we don’t remember people being this sad when Gabriel Garcia Marquez passed a few years ago, and he was also a genius. (CNN) Because the fight for the Republican nomination is so divisive, the […]

Facebook: a tool for the social to prove just how social they are, while the rest of us cower behind our keyboards. Are these Facebook Famous classmates-to-be on to something? Or are they just kind of crazy? Bwogger Becky Novik attempts to figure it all out. You know who they are. Of course you know; […]

Money: something we, as college students in NYC, love to think about but rarely have on hand. We sent Bwog staffer Betsy Ladyzhets to a lecture on neoliberalism and campus finance to torture her with money talk, but it ended up being an informative panel. We’ll try better next time–maybe a talk on how millennials are […]

Hey, prospective students! We’ve given you a hard time these past couple of weeks (with all the crazy shit in your Facebook group, it wasn’t too hard), but to redeem ourselves in your eyes, we’re giving you an inside look of your digs for next year. Don’t worry, you’ll live through this next year. Probably. […]

Are you a graduating senior? Are you wise? If you answered “yes” to the second question, you’re probably lying to yourself, but we want to hear from you anyway. To help us continue our tradition of asking almost-graduates questions about oral sex, cheese, and everything in between, we need you to nominate yourself/your friends/your enemies for Spring […]

Canada is about to get a lot more lit–legislation to legalize marijuana federally will be ready by 2017! What a nice post-4/20 piece of news. (CBC) A New York Congressman decided to get a little dramatic, saying he would “take cyanide” if Ted Cruz won the Republican presidential nomination. Loos like even his colleagues are pretty sure […]

Created last summer, @sadcolumbiaboys is probably the one of the most popular Columbia-related social media accounts to exist (RIP Ivy League Bitch). Inspired by @sadyaleboys, and now the inspiration for various other sad accounts, it has garnered 1726 followers as of today. Connoisseur of Columbia Sadness Rachel Deal talked to the creator(s?) of @sadcolumbiaboys over Instagram DM about […]

CDCJ’s been doing their thing the past few days—but where’s PrezBo? We bring you answers, in the form of a night in the life of our beloved university president.  8:52 pm It’s been nice working from home for the past few days! God knows I don’t spend as much time as I should with my family. […]

On Tuesday afternoon Bwog sent staff writer Nikki Shaner-Bradford to a talk and Q&A with entrepreneur Miki Agrawal, organized by Barnard’s Smart Women Lead and Pre-Health Organization, so that she could learn more Agrawal’s start-ups, scuffle with the MTA, and thoughts on how to do “cool shit.” Yesterday afternoon Miki Agrawal, CEO of Thinx and an […]

So you’re definitely getting Baked by Melissa, going to the Tank Top party (once the “Pot Party”), or getting seeds from the John Jay Lounge. It’s cute how CU students come together on 4/20 to produce the most insinuation-laden event names. That said, you can’t really compete with your professor’s itinerary on 4/20—they’re in academia! We […]

Perhaps disoriented by the room change, the GSSC meeting was surprisingly short. And you don’t have to miss a single second: wily correspondent Jennifer Nugent was on the scene and taking notes. Last night’s General Studies Student Council (GSSC) meeting was off to a raucous start with a room change to Pupin. Latecomers even fell […]

Peter Liang, the NYPD officer convicted of second-degree manslaughter for killing the unarmed Akai Gurley, will not face any jail time. Instead, he he will face five years of probation and 800 hours of community service—provoking outrage from some quarters. (ABC News) The NY primaries were yesterday, in case you didn’t notice the ecstatic Bernie volunteers […]

Tempted by the promises of good baklava, turkish coffee, and a possible connection to Lin-Manuel Miranda, Bwogger Romane Thomas headed over to Hamilton Hall for The Turkish Engima, an event put on by the Alexander Hamilton Society. Though she missed out on Lin-Manuel, she instead found an intelligent and striking lecture on the role of Turkey […]
