Were you too lazy to join the Columbia Queer Alliance? Not yet quite brave enough to attend a GendeRevolution meeting? Just plain unable to figure out where Q meetings are? Or have you only now, in your cold dorm room during the middle of a winter storm, realized that those feelings you’ve been brushing off for years […]

Students for Justice in Palestine and Jewish Voice for Peace, student organizations that rally around Palestine activism, are calling for Columbia’s divestment campaign from companies that benefit from or provide funds for the continued presence of Israeli homes, business, and infrastructure in the West Bank. The two organizations are operating as Columbia University Apartheid Divest […]

Last weekend, Bernie Sanders held a rally at the University of Iowa encouraging students to vote for him in the primary today. But this wasn’t just an ordinary rally – it was also a concert, featuring indie rock group Vampire Weekend. Bernie even sang “This Land Is Your Land” on stage with the band. (NY […]

Bucket List represents the intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. Our recommendations for this week are below, and the full list is after the jump. If you notice any events that have been left off the […]

Miller Theatre hosts a variety of event showcasing a multitude of artistic genres. Bwogger Amara Banks caught a show in the Jazz Series last night, Saturday, January 30th. After seeing what I thought was the weirdest performance I had ever witnessed at Miller Theatre, I (stupidly and in vain) drafted a mental note to never attend any […]

In an in-depth analysis of Zayn’s new single, we’ve discovered that he may have been singing about none other than Bwog itself. See for yourself.   Climb on (the executive) board. We’ll go slow (with the pitches, so you can keep up). So we’ll piss off the neighbors (aka everyone else in SGO, because we’re […]

Tired of braving the cold, blustery winter nights only to end up not winning the Hamilton lottery? Get your dose of (free) culture and the arts right here on campus in MoHi! A Bwogger  has put together a list events this week that cater to the literary/musically/theatrically-inclined on campus. Monday, February 1 NYSAF Reading Series: […]

It’s finally fucking cold out; and what better way to celebrate than with milkshakes? Bwog Dailies Sarah Dahl (vegetarian) and Emma Seely-Katz (vegan) couldn’t agree more, which is why they took on the 2Girls1Snack mission to review various Manhattan milkshakes. Sluuurp! Champs (vegan shakes), 197 Meserole Street, Brooklyn We were predisposed toward this place because […]

Now: Didn’t get into that sorority? Try your luck with another, better sorting system – Pottermore’s sorting quiz is back! (Buzzfeed) April: Game of Thrones comes back for its sixth season on April 24, and according to Sophie Turner, “this season is a really, really big one for Sansa. It’s probably her best season yet.” (Entertainment […]

To quote a song from the famous musical Rent, “How do you measure a year?” Well, we did away with the boring measurements such as sunsets, midnights, inches (which doesn’t even make sense), and cups of coffee. Instead, Writer Joanna Zhang simplified 10 years into the units any Columbia student would understand. Basic calculations: 10 […]

We the people of Bwog aren’t exactly known for our ability to carefully make decisions…after all, just look at how we spend our weekends? This paucity becomes especially apparent during our pitch meetings, when we come up with our posts for the week. In this piece, our staff recount some of their favorite article ideas that never made it to our site. Shots In Butler […]

Bwog would be nothing without our commenters. You bring us up and you tear us down. You warm our cold, attention-seeking hearts and you catch our typos. You make the cruel, unforgiving life of covering the bad decisions of Columbia students worth living. So, as a tribute to our commenters over the past ten years, […]

Drop your hat at Columbia and you’re on national news, but wear a chicken costume and you’re just part of the crowd. Like New York City itself, what happens at Columbia is magnified a hundredfold compared to other universities and the strange becomes the normal. For a decade, Bwog has been at the center of […]

Happy birthday to us! How else would we at Bwog celebrate but with a party and a playlist to go along with it? For this playlist, we’ve mixed in some birthday-related tunes with popular songs from the last 10 years. We Are by Justin Bieber feat. Nas – “Happy birthday,” croons Justin Bieber in the first […]

Twitter. “SexyBack.” High School Musical. Dick in a Box. What do all of these lovely things have in common? They turn ten this year! In other news, Bwog also turns ten this year, so our resident Baker-Bwoggers decided to celebrate by making a birthday cake. Classic. The twist? It’s (Columbia?) blue velvet! Ingredients Duncan Hines […]
