Going to Dodge isn’t a pleasant experience for anyone. It’s smelly, sweaty, and you’re often confronted with the sight of a fiendishly good badminton team reminding you of your athletic inferiority. Sometimes, when I’m feeling particularly masochistic, I’ll haul my ass to the weights room at 6 am just to scare all of the protein-shake-consuming-males […]

New Bwogger Jeffrey Ndubisi noticed that CUIT has not been giving students the best version of Microsoft Word. He decided to call them out for it in his first Bwog post. 

One year ago today, on January 27th 2018, Managing Editor Zack Abrams saw the film Phantom Thread for the first time. He has since watched it six more times. In honor of that auspicious anniversary, here are campus buildings as food items that Reynolds ordered in the breakfast scene.

I bring this up because Buy/Sell/Trade at Barnard has become so overstuffed with textbooks and people cleaning out their closets […]

Sure, this post could be avoided in its entirety if Newsletter Editor Eva Sher had the patience to wait in line for an omelette a.k.a. the superior version of eggs. But she doesn’t. The scrambled eggs are already done, and it is a miracle that she went to the dining hall in the first place. Let […]

The former Greek cafe Artopolis, located between 113th and 114th street and Amsterdam, has become a Columbia staple famous through brunch foods like crepes, pastries, and omelets. However, the restaurant recently reopened under a new name, “The New York Basics,” and boasts a new menu. Additions include quick grab-and-go options like scones, muffins, donuts, chips, espresso […]

In Social Media Editor Idris O’Neill’s utopia, Barnard’s dining points and Columbia’s dining dollars would be equal and Joe Coffee would accept said forms of currency. We’ll settle for finding a dining dollars daddy for now. Imagine: you’ve been in Butler for six hours (and yes, we know it’s the beginning of the semester) and […]

Senior Staff Writer Levi Cohen on the agony and the ecstasy of the start of the semester.

It’s that time of year again—time to trip on all the flyers clubs are shoving under your door in the hope that you’ll join them. The good news is that things could be a lot worse!
