Ugh, another Republican Debate last night. Now there are only four candidates–Donald, John, Marco, and Ted–and they seem like they’re being fairly nice to each other. (NBC News) An exhibition all about Barbie just opened in Paris, coinciding with Fashion Week there. Barbie’s changed a lot over her 57 years, but to us, she doesn’t […]

What’s better than an adult coloring book? A Columbia-specific college kids version, full of colorful campus figures and fixtures. Courtesy Bwog’s fantastic writer-illustrator dynamo, Nikki Shaner-Bradford. Print and de-stress. Enjoy, fam. #LateNightBwog

You may have read, and enjoyed, last week’s post about going high to First Year English. This week, one of our writers went to First Year English on a different kind of high: pill form. Less smoke, and legal. Bwog would like to note that the writer has a Xanax prescription, and took the medicine […]

We are all DEFINITELY ready for a break–take yours at 4 am in Butler with these trap essentials. We apologize for the emotional whiplash that may come along with listening to Future while you try to study for your Econ midterm… Low Life by Future feat. The Weeknd  Uber Everywhere by Madeintoyo  Sorry Not Sorry by Bryson […]

It is finally, definitively Spring Weather in NYC, and staffer Rebecca decided to celebrate with some mid-day music–nothing like warm weather and hot jams! The sun (which for the first time in 2016 actually warmed my soul) was beaming through the windows of the garden room in the Faculty House as I sat down to […]

Dudes have body image issues too (shocker of the century?), so it was only a matter of time before the “realistic Ken” was created as a counterpart to the revolutionary pseudo-Barbies that were designed with attainable BMIs and non-eternally-high-heeled feet. (Out) The only way we found out Nancy Reagan died is through this announcement that […]

Crossing Broadway is a big step, and one that most Columbia students undertake with trepidation. Lerner aficionado Finn Klauber looked both ways before he crossed the street, but nothing prepared him for what lay inside the Big Red. Barnard’s campus is an alien world to many Columbia students. Okay, maybe that’s a little over exaggerated, but […]

Everyone says that getting a lot of sleep is crucial to scoring well on exams—but when you’ve got four tests in one week, the concept just seems impossible. Luckily for you, Bwog has created a helpful quiz that will help you determine how you can manage (or, what you need to sacrifice) to get yourself […]

What’s in a name? Sportsball expert Ross Chapman gets to the bottom of this Shakespearean question, tracing the evolution of basketball player Maodo Lo’s nickname.  As the Class of 2016 gets ready for their last spring break, the Columbia community as a whole says goodbye to the Basketball Class of 2016, one which will live […]

It’s almost here! You’ve been waiting since January 19th, we know. But now that the day is finally arriving, what will you be doing? Where will you be going? Just know that wherever you’ll be for Spring Break, it is what you make it. You have the power to make next week fabulous, and this […]

GSSC got heated up, but in a mild enough way. Romane Thomas was on hand to witness the combustive, creative energy of the Council, and reports back on newsletters, Spring Break, and snack attacks. Yesterday night neither midterms nor the flu kept a reduced General Studies Student Council (GSSC) from talking awards, menus, and Owl analytics […]

Donald Trump, the human manifestation of the John Jay sushi roll, is a step closer to becoming our venerated emperor; he handily won the Michigan primary. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders unexpectedly carried the state, prolonging the struggle for the Democratic nomination. (Reuters) Kim K makes use of her crown and takes a stand against body-shaming. (Elle) Europe’s plan to relocate refugees to Turkey […]

Bwog has noticed that Columbia students tend to not be familiar with Barnard’s campus. In hopes of deducing just what these confused onlookers know about Barnard’s layout, we’ve asked some lucky CC/SEAS students to fill out blank maps of Barnard’s campus. Their—often completely wrong—assessments are included below. I was stopped by a confused woman the […]

As Bwog sits through our midterms this week, we’ve been amused with the sometimes hilarious, often extraneous thoughts which go through our heads. A Bwog staffer records their thoughts during an average experience of taking a midterm, inspired by true events. The beginning (75 mins left) OK what do we have here. I’ve studied for all of 10 minutes for this […]

This year, SGA revises its constitution. This week, they revise the procedure for revising, among a few other policies. What does that even mean? Mia Lindheimer tries to find out.  This week’s SGA meeting opened with a presentation from Abby Porter (CC ’17) of Coalition Against Sexual Violence (CASV), a Columbia club with zero members […]
