Knock, knock. It’s the students of Barnard. And, Hewitt, we’re sick of your shit. We pay thousands of dollars in meal plans every semester – meal plans we’re required to buy – and then, when we need you most, when we’re wallowing in despair over our unfortunate return to class after a glorious spring break, we venture […]

This afternoon, a statement was released by over 200 Columbia faculty and administrators, including former deans, calling for the University Trustees to not divest from the university’s business relations with Israel. The document claims that “Columbia benefits from ties with Israeli faculty, students, research, and technology.” This release follows a declaration to condemn Apartheid Divest that was […]

We interrupt your regularly scheduled spring break to bring you this important message. Damnnnn Columbia Rowing, back at it again with the hot spring training videos. Thanks for sharing another inside-look at what it’s like to be an athlete with us NARPs. Keep up the good work. Check out the Men’s Heavyweight Rowing spring training video for this year […]

This morning, Dean Hinkson and President Spar sent an email to Barnard students informing them that Jessi Dietrich, BC ’16, had taken her own life. Jessi was a senior psychology major from Florida and vice president of the Pre-Vet Society. Dean Hinkson and President Spar reminded students that there is “no right or wrong way […]

Spring Break has finally arrived, and we’re peacing out. We may be gone, but we’re never far, so make sure to send any wild Spring Break tips to us at tips@bwog.com. If you’re still feeling residual stress, we recommend some art therapy with Columbia-themed coloring book pages (featuring buff Prezbo). Or, if you’re looking for music […]

Columbia’s got a decent-sized campus, so one would think that finding rehearsal and performance space would be a fairly easy task for our many performing arts groups. Unfortunately, with a constantly-increasing number of groups vying for space, and the Columbia bureaucracy doing what the Columbia bureaucracy does best (i.e. creating complications), the task is far […]

With just three weeks until Bacchanal, members of the opening band, EVELINE, took time yesterday out of their busy schedule to sit down with our Arts Editor. The all-freshmen band comprised of Zibo Gao (vocals), Sias Marking (guitar), Bruce Young (guitar), Nick Greene (bass/cello), and Marco Starger (drums) talked about how they got their start as a band, how […]

You may not believe in the Last Supper, but the concept of a Last Meal at Columbia is def valid. Take our quiz to discover yours!

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 […]

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 […]
