Since we sent a BC first-year to JJ’s Place for the first time, it seemed only fair to also do the opposite: send a CC upperclassman to Hewitt for the first time. So, does Hewitt pizza live up to the rumors? Why does anyone go to Hewitt? Where even is Hewitt? We have (at least some) […]

Real Women, Real Voices provides female prisoners and their affected families with a forum to humanize incarcerated people and the issues they face. Yesterday, an event was held at the Columbia Law School where several women spoke on their experiences. When grouped with clouds, rain, and chilling temperatures, midterms can easily rob students of the […]

In the second year of the Sexual Respect Initiative, Columbia has offered more workshops and more sessions of each option. It has also hidden the availability of the Arts Option inside of the “Create Your Own Project” category and supposedly responded to the feedback of students and faculty. What does all of this change mean […]

It’s that time of night–when the moody and lonely Columbia student within you comes out, and you decide to drunkenly take a walk to “clear your head” or whatever. Here’s a playlist for lying(/meditating/crying/sobering up) on the sundial. Try to refrain from shouting “Take me now!” to the heavens (been there, done that). Kifak Inta by […]

Disclaimer: I wish the following were inspired by real events. Ever wonder what your professors are doing when they aren’t making you pay laughable amounts of money on textbooks or assigning so much work that you don’t have any me time (wink wink) anymore? Do you think they grade your papers on time? lol no […]

Barnard President Debora Spar responds to recent student and faculty concerns regarding this year’s commencement speaker in a letter to-the-editor published on the Spectator website late this afternoon.

In the latest installment of our ongoing series of EIC reflections in celebration of Bwog’s big birthday, our second-ever Editor-in-Chief, Lydia DePillis, remembers life back when Gmail was new. Lydia remained a journalist, and now works for the Washington Post. Few things have made me feel older than the realization that Bwog, this little project we […]

Our group of four (two CC, two BC) climbed down the stairs […]

This Tuesday is the last day to declare your English major, or whatever else you might be majoring in, Barnard sophomores! But don’t worry too much, ’cause that’s more of a soft deadline. Dean Kuan Tsu explains this in an email sent yesterday: Since there is no late fee attached to this deadline, it is […]

The Republican Debate last night hosted a narrowed field of candidates (no entrance cue mishaps this time), with only Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, Ben Carson, John Kasich, and Donald Trump remaining in the running. (CNN) Astronaut Scott Kelly aired his last news conference yesterday from the International Space Station, where he has spent almost a […]

Continuing our week of 10th birthday throwbacks to former Bwoggers, Sarah Faith Thompson has some insights on her time as co-EIC of this fabulously fraught publication. If you look way back in the Columbia University Class of 2016 Facebook group, all the way back to the cringeworthy month of August 2012, there’s a post where […]
