Bucket List represents the immense academic privilege we enjoy as Columbia students.  Our recommendations are below, and the full list can be found below the jump. As always, if we’ve made a mistake or left anything noteworthy off the list, please let us know in the comments.  Recommended The Big Problem from the Financial Crisis that Still […]

Celebrate the start of this Fall season by getting lost in a corn maze in Maryland. Oh, and did we mention that maze is shaped like Taylor Swift’s face? (MTV) Now that Brosé season is officially over, here is a list of wines for you to enjoy this autumn. (The Guradian) New York Fashion Week […]

A note to our readers: You may have noticed that Bwog has not covered Columbia Football in almost two years. Older readers will remember why. We have not seen a reason to reconsider our stance since that time. However, the new coaching regime of Al Bagnoli seems to be seeking to right some of the […]

Clear your calendars–tomorrow evening (following the Bwog meeting in the SGO) is Passport to Columbia, our favorite yearly event for inhaling food from all over the globe. There will also be performances (if that’s your kind of thing) from groups like CU Gen and Bhangra, and the MCs of the event are Luis Rivera (he probably […]

The first week of classes is over, and the opening remarks by your professors are in. We hope your profs stay in such good spirits (especially when they’re grading your papers.) If you hear/see your profs doing any other ridiculous things this semester, tell us about it by sending an email to tips@bwog.com! Anna Caterina Musatti, […]

It’s the beginning of the semester, which means that while plenty of us are having enough trouble just getting readjusted to classes, the student athletes have an entire season to prepare for. Here’s a brief preview of what’s going on with each team at Columbia for the fall season. Keep checking in with Bwog to […]

We all forgot that he was running, but former Governor of Texas Rick Perry has decided to end his campaign for presidency. In a speech where he announced his withdrawal, he said that there is a “tremendous field of candidates” running for the Republican nomination. Yeah, okay. (New York Times) Apparently state officials in Louisiana, in […]

Ellen Degeneres recently surprised Columbia’s Delta Gamma sorority with $10,000 in her Cash at Your Dorm series.  President Kayla Farrell answered several trivia questions like, “What does Taylor Swift call her group of friends?” (hint: the answer is “squad”) to win progressively better prizes—including a big screen TV!  We’re only a little bit jealous DG got […]

You may have seen their brilliant videos or overseen them filming ridiculous scenes around campus. They are the hottest group on campus (besides Bwog) and we recommend you go meet them today at the CUSS Open House. CU No-Budget Sketch Show, or CUSS, began last fall to create student produced videos for the Columbia community. They’re […]

If you’ve been to the bold, beautiful Diana Center this year, you probably noticed a few changes to Liz’s Place and the Diana Cafe. We received tips during NSOP about an addition to Liz’s Place called “Provisions On Demand,” but we didn’t think it would be that special. WELL, LET US TELL YOU—Diana (if it wasn’t […]

Unless you’re a hermit, you’ve noticed the obscene balloon behemoth that is the Columbia University 2015 Fall Activities Fair, running today from 12:00 to 4:00 pm. This last gasp of NSOP is your best chance all semester to have your email address indelibly carved into the rosters of club mailing lists campus-wide. It’s also a great chance […]

Books have spines; the New Zealand Film and Literature Board of Review, not so much. The group has caved to pressure from Christian advocacy groups and instituted a temporary national ban on the sale of Ted Dawe’s bildungsroman Into the River for its profane language, sexual content, and depictions of drug and alcohol use. The book had not previously garnered much […]

We’ve been back to school long enough to make some history, so what better time for a good ol’ #tbt? Bwog’s Maddie Stearn went deep into the recesses of the internet (a.k.a. The Columbia Spectator Archives) and shares some gems of history (well, herstory, to be more accurate). “Coed At Last” was the front page […]

The strange black piece of modern art in front of Uris is in the process of being taken apart to be refurbished off-campus. The Curl, which you may know as ‘that sculpture everyone says looks like the dollar sign from above,’ will be taken off campus for an unspecified amount of time in an effort to address rust […]

Did you have a strong opinion on fonts and kerning before the Helvetica documentary came out? Do you long to photoshop throbbing veins and maybe a stray hair or two onto the Columbia lawn fountains, finally completing those masterpieces once and for all? Are you looking for an opportunity to take part in greater campus life […]
