Though the infamous “Midterm Day” came and went as quickly as that brief wave of good weather last week, many students in Morningside Heights still have tests to take, essays to write, and group projects (oh, the horror!) to complete. We all know that it’s pointless to sit down and study for an extended period […]

25-year-old rapper Tyga released a song this week called “Ice Cream Man,” in which he details his relationship with 18-year-old Kylie Jenner. We get it, Tyga, you’re creepy.

Parents? In your dorm room? Sounds like a recipe for disaster! A first-year Bwogger shares fun tidbits from Parents Weekend, in chronological order.

It’s no secret that we at Bwog are huge fans of Drake–we bump his music at our parties and in the stacks, we make him our cover photos, and we may or may not have made our own edit of the Hotline Bling video (but you’ll have to come to our meeting this Sunday to find […]

Hear some music bumpin’ at Beta? What could it be? A REVIVAL of Beta Jam? Yes! We sent Bwogger and music aficionado Breana Burstein to investigate.

Hurricane Patricia, the strongest hurricane ever known to make landfall, hit Mexico’s Pacific coast last night, but quickly deteriorated to a tropical storm. Luckily the hurricane’s path avoided major cities. (The Weather Channel) Yikes!

Deep in the abyss of John Jay Hall, a star is born. Just kidding, she was born in 1997. However, her highly-anticipated EP, Blood Girl, was not. In fact, Blood Girl was birthed from the fiery womb of creativity just about one month after its creator, Rachel Roth, arrived on Columbia’s campus. Rachel Roth, who […]

On this fine October afternoon, Bwogger Joe Milholland treks across campus to a spicy USenate meeting, in which everything from low income students to transgender rights were discussed.

Do you like six-packs? Are you #2spoopy2live? Are you #2creppy2die? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, then you better put on your latex Spock ears and listen to what we’ve got to say now.

Bwog sent investigative Staff Writer Amara Banks to discover the true identity of Morningside Heights’ elusive Chess Boy. What she found might surprise you. (Or perhaps even checkmate you.) You may or may not have noticed the chess lesson flyers decorating Morningside Heights’ street lamps and ATMs. The person posting them claimed to be a […]

Last night, Bwog was tipped about a girl standing in the grass on College Walk at about 9:45 P.M. You might wonder – what’s so special about that? Girls stand on college walk all the time, checking their phones, talking to their friends, or speed-eating Ferris take-out on their way to class. This girl, however, was […]
