The Furnald birds are chirping, students are stress eating, and unaffiliated children are running around campus. This must mean spring is slowly beginning to sprung. To get you out of your midterm slump, Momma Nature decided to bless us with some nice weather this week. Today, the high of 66 degrees. Oh my, that is […]

If you are new student at Columbia this academic year, you are required to complete the Sexual Respect and Community Citizenship Initiative by March 20. If you did it last year, you are merely “strongly encouraged to participate.” While March 20 may still seem like a far way off, it’s actually the last day of spring […]

Today is Michigan’s Republican and Democratic Primaries. Be prepared for a barrage of targeted political ads, out-of-context soundbites, and diatribes from your Facebook “friends.” At least the excitement will keep your mind off midterms. (MichiganLive) If the Primaries aren’t keeping your mind off your next big test, perhaps the threat of worldwide nuclear devastation will. […]

One more week, Columbia. One week from today, we’ll all be enjoying warmer climates, or having Netflix marathons without needing to break for homework, or going on cool adventures without a textbook in sight. Who knows – we might even be asleep. But for now, unfortunately, we’re still stuck in the hellhole of Butler 209, trying […]

Below is a sample of some of our favorite content, courtesy of the sleepy, uninterested students of Bwog. Page headers aren’t real notes: “Fuck […]

As we pointed out earlier, dear readers, we are currently at the peak of midterm season. And that can only mean one thing: Columbia students are doing some weird shit. (Or, we’re putting out weird vibes, and the objects on our campus are just picking them up.) To tell the truth, Columbia, we’re a little […]

Meet your future medical students, investment bankers, and, as of last night, period pundits. Early this morning, Bwog was tipped about a heated discussion happening in the Columbia Class of 2016 Facebook group. Last night, CCSC Student Body President Ben Makansi, CC ’16, posted a Google Doc titled, “Reasons Why Pads are Necessary in Addition […]

Where would we be without Joe Milholland? Much less informed about the inner workings of CCSC politics, that’s for sure. This week’s meeting included discussion of the CASV, a potential tech rep, and the quality of life survey. CCSC’s Relationship with No Red Tape and Coalition Against Sexual Violence On Sunday night’s Columbia College Student […]

It’s the most wonderful day of the year. You know the day – it’s a day for celebration (of your suffering), a day for gifts (of terrifying tests), and a day for love (of coffee and Redbull.) It’s the day we’ve been looking forward to all semester. Midterm Day. We’re sure you, like us (and […]

“Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens” will be released on DVD at the start of next month!

In this technological world of constant phone alerts, Bwog has decided to provide the student body with a few essential Columbia apps for download on your phone!

You’ve been hoping, wishing, dreaming of this for so long. It feels as though time has moved at a glacial pace until this point. But now, in the lulls in conversations, in the seconds of silence, in the moments before you fall asleep. You hear him: James Franco. His voice rises from somewhere deep within you, and […]
