We sent two freshman to Orgo Night. Like most wild freshman experiences, it was simply sweaty people crowded into a small space. But what did they think of CUMB’s “jokes” and “music?” Read about it here. Immediately upon entering Butler 209 on Orgo Night, Bwog made enemies—we endured looks of revulsion from displaced studiers, knocked over […]

Tonight, you can see the most anticipated movie of the decade. “Can see” – but you won’t. Have a happy first day of finals. Bwogline: Probably something important is happening in US politics, or world politics, but that’s not important – Star Wars is. Star Wars. Star Wars. Star Wars. You know what people love more than […]

The time for Senior Wisdoms has come again! Every winter we post les Wisdoms des Seniors from students who are graduating in December, providing them with one last chance to feel appreciated before they become the underlings of whichever industry they pursue. However, due to this abominable weather, it feels just like May so there’s […]

Every month we get to show some love for our parent publication, The Blue and White. Unlike some children, we’re grateful for our Cool Mom, so we’re excited to share this first article about 1020’s female bartenders from the  latest issue. We’ve all heard the rumors about 1020’s owner–people often use the words “creepy,” “controlling,” […]

Did we do the time warp again? Why is it so warm outside? Isn’t it supposed to be Winter in December? Bwog superstar Britt Fossum engages in the discourse regarding our unseasonably warm weather. The End is Nigh. How are we expected to study for finals when it’s a balmy 60 degrees Fahrenheit every day, […]

Dean Hinkson released a statement to all Barnard students earlier today regarding Orgo Night and the Columbia University Marching Band. In the email, Dean Hinkson recognizes how she received “heartfelt messages” and “equally compelling messages” from both supporters and detractors of the Marching Band’s activities at Barnard. After Dean Hinkson closed the Barnard gates to […]

Reading “week” is always a fun time for Columbia students. Between studying for finals, writing papers, getting some of that Midnight Breakfast, and attending Orgo Night, there’s just too much to be done in too little time. So we’re here to make your reading days slightly more entertaining by renaming them. If you have any […]

Tonight, we celebrate the student body and the school as best we know with free (FREE!) pre-finals food and free (FREE!) offense given to everything and everybody! At exactly midnight, the Columbia University Marching Band will erupt into Butler 209 for the 62nd consecutive, 69th semi-annual Orgo Night. We don’t really know if the aim to […]

Now that reading week has begun, we’re transitioning from Bwoglines to Bwog In Bed. Ironically, many of us have been spending reading week so far sleeping in Butler instead of our beds. Regardless, get pumped for a day of studying (and preparing for Orgo Night).  Bwogline: The Federal Reserve is aiming to raise interest rates this […]

Fall 2015 marked the fourth semester in a row in which a new board took the helm of Bwog: in August we lost former Editor in Chief Taylor Grasdalen to Duluth, Minnesota. Britt Fossum, CC ’16, took Grasdalen’s place as EIC. Joseph Powers, CC ’16, took Fossum’s place on the board as Internal Editor, with Courtney Couillard, BC […]

Take a break from studying (or not studying) an mosey on down to Broadway Presbyterian Church for some pancakes and midnight solidarity! From 11 pm to 1 am tonight, our friends at everyone’s favorite progressive church in MoHi will be servin’ up fuel for your late-night/early morning trips to Riverside Park (we all know what you’re […]

We weren’t sure what this “reading week” stuff was all about, so we sent staff writer Phoebe to find out. Turns out, we’re actually expected to study this week! Well, that wasn’t going to happen, so instead Phoebe compiled a list of 10 alternatives to this “studying” nonsense to get you through the next seven or […]

You know a Facebook event is going to be good when the host puts up a disclaimer: “this is just a joke i am just a bored lady making a joke pls dont arrest me (sic).” Friends and friends of friends and maybe even that weird kid with the wraparound sunglasses in your Orgo class have all […]

The second (and more controversial) round of Orgo Night posters have hit Butler bulletin boards (you can look at the first round of posters here). As one would expect, the posters contain Donald Trump jokes (Is he still funny? The world seems undecided), a play on Hotline Bling’s album art, and yet another reference to […]
