Remember that Sexual Respect requirement you have to complete? It’s not going away anytime soon, so you’d best choose one of the fun workshops, at least. That’s why we sent Daily Nadra Rahman to review “The Art and Science of Flirting.” I entered 633 Mudd with confidence, knowing anything I would learn at “The Art […]

With talk of replacing Alexander Hamilton on the $10 bill with a historically famous woman, Barnard hosted a discussion with US Treasurer Rosa Rios to talk about the process. Currency Connoisseur Betsy Ladyzhets headed over to the lecture and reports on the event. Yesterday evening, US Treasurer Rosa Rios sat down with Barnard economics professor Anja […]

Early this morning, Bwog received several tips about ongoing vandalism to the Carman 13 bulletin board. The board’s decorations in honor of Trans Awareness Month have been destroyed a total of four times now. It is unclear how many people are responsible for the vandalism. In response to the destruction of the first three bulletin boards, […]

Everybody knows preparation is at the heart of success. Taking this aphorism to heart, GSSC divided itself into five categories which wrote down what they wanted to accomplish next semester. Student council specialist Joe Milholland reports on their hopes for the next semester, as well as some other updates. At the General Studies Student Council […]

Lin-Manuel Miranda—writer, composer, and lead of the hit musical about everyone’s favourite Columbia alumnus, Alexander Hamilton—is working with J.J. Abrams (director of Lost, the new Star Trek movies, and the soon-to-be-released Star Wars VII) on new music for another cantina scene. Bwog is rooting for you, Lin-Manuel! (Deadline) The newest and largest round of global climate-change talks, the United […]

Barnard Bearoness, Caroline Montgomery, made her way to the second floor of the Diana Center to sit in on the SGA meeting. Unfortunately no one brought any leftover pie, but the reps certainly brought some Barnard College updates.    Still full from Thanksgiving, SGA had a short agenda for last night. During the open floor segment, No […]

Our loyal commenters: you’ve been working hard this semester, presenting us with food for thought, provoking our self-hatred, and providing fodder for Bwog inside jokes since September. We figured we’d give a little back to you by honoring the best comments on Bwog posts in Fall 2015 (so far). Keep on commenting and you too could have […]

Is it true that in the long run, this physical/mental/spiritual test of endurance we call “school” will make us more successful than our non-Ivy educated peers? We sure as hell don’t know, but in keeping with the masochistic tendencies Columbia instills in its students, we forced two Bwoggers to stay on campus over break and eat Thanksgiving […]

Feeling particularly generous, what with the Christmas spirit in the air (yeah, right)? Barnard and its illustrious SGA are collaborating on an initiative to collect donations of dining points and redistribute them to students in need beginning December 10! This form, open now through December 7, allows Barnard students to donate as many points as […]

If you think Bwog is the exemplar of hard-hitting journalism, just look at Fox news! They covered the all-important annual crisis: do Reese’s Special Edition “Christmas Tree” peanut butter cups really look like turds, or is that just our imagination? (Fox News) It’s never too early to plan your spring break! May we humbly suggest a […]

Here at Bwog we’re totally #grateful we had the opportunity to go back home, lug piles of still-incomplete homework across the country, have unproductive fights with the actual fam, and watch Jessica Jones to completion. And sometimes it got a little spicy, as evinced by our horrifying (or is it tantalizing?) screenshot from the Iowa Snapstory. As always, […]

It’s weird, even to us, but—you have friends! Cool ones, who might even be graduating this term and who will be missed. Whether or not you think they’ll be interested in sharing their knowledge with us via our long and storied tradition of Senior Wisdoms, go ahead and nominate them by emailing us at tips@bwog.com (or […]

We have received a tip containing both a press release by the Activities Board at Columbia (ABC) in response to alleged bias on the ABC board as well as the funding allocations for the next year. The press release expresses that “recent allegations that cultural organizations governed by the Activities Board at Columbia (specifically in the Black, Latinx, […]

Bucket List represents the inordinate 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. Take a break from pre-finals studying to look at our recommendations for this academic week below with the full list after the jump. Recommended “The Upcoming Venezuelan […]

A perfectly ordinary family/an obsolete institution released pictures of one of its newer members, under the impression that anyone would care (we kind of do). (USA Today) Rejoice, for the Age of the Internet stretches before us, unmoved and unyielding. As a result of shoppers flocking to online deals, Black Friday store sales have slipped this year—although […]
