Homecoming! We lost the game, as expected (although the tragic death of the streak gave the less experienced of us some doubts), but people still had fun, didn’t they?? Whether you showed up only for the pregame, left at halftime, or spent the weekend mourning the death of America’s Next Top Model (RIP the greatest GIF […]

It’s missing—that beautiful, bold industrial stapler usually stationed at the front desk of Lerner. You’ve used it to staple everything from your 50-sheet long Anthropology readings and your pirated eBook of Sappho’s poetry to your print-outs of Chem lecture notes (because you never go) and the collection of quotes you’ve collected from your Biology professor. You […]

Bacchanal Survey At the Columbia […]

With Halloween around the corner, we were expecting some spooky tips—we were not, however, expecting horror (because that’s what it is) closer to home.

New York rats—they’ve made you laugh, cry, and cower in the corner (watching Pizza Rat really makes you explore the range of human emotion), but the rodentification of the city has become an increasingly gross problem that the city is attempting to address. (New York Times) Who cares about water on Mars, when there might be a […]

While everyone on campus crowded around lounge TVs to watch the Democratic Debate last week, I sat solo in my room with my computer tuned to MTV’s archives. I’ve heard that Bernie defended Hillary’s emails and that Hillary roasted the GOP for their attack on Planned Parenthood, but my ears were preoccupied with the sweet words of […]

We know it’s been family weekend these past couple of days. Hope y’all had some good, clean, wholesome fun! Because now it’s time for Bwog. And you know us, we tend to get a little unseemly.

Edgar Hoover Building, the FBI’s headquarters, is falling to pieces, and has been for the past ten years. Now, plans for a new building are months behind schedule. […]

Bwog provides a run-down of Homecoming 2015: “International tourists asked for photos with me at the pep rally.” “Students drinking out of open containers on college walk.” “My friend lied that she was in SEAS to get a scarf. And just misspelled her name really badly.” “They ran out of beer.” “Friend compared homecoming bus […]

Carman may be known for its athletes, alcohol-stained carpeting, and the fact that the bedboards can be removed and placed across two chairs to create beer pong tables, but one freshman is doing it better with his daringly decorated dorm.  Filled with K-pop tchotchkes, this poppin’ room was calling for a RoomHop feature. We sent […]

Columbia College Student Council (CCSC) has seen some big happenings recently. Bwog sent staffer Joanna Zhang to sit down with one of CCSC’s newest members, Class of 2019 President and turtle-owner Josh Schenk. Here’s their convo.
