Everyone has a “terrible roommate” horror story, which is valid because the tragedy of the commons exists and people are terrible. But that doesn’t mean we should forget the other valiant soldiers: the good roommates who make the hellscape that is communal living downright enjoyable. Today, several Bwoggers salute their roommates, who go above and beyond […]

Big news from Bwog today regarding 2020. Guy-who’s-in-charge-of-snacks-for-the-campaign-office Zack Abrams brings you the announcement. 

Columbia’s indie rock claim to fame, Vampire Weekend, has finally come out of hiding to release new music. Two new songs are to be released on Thursday, one titled “2021,” and more importantly, “Harmony Hall,” presumably named after, you guessed it, the Columbia residence hall. Vampire Weekend is no stranger to making Columbia references in their music; the […]

It’s so fucking cold. Polar winds blast down Manhattan’s avenues. Dogs are reduced to wearing tiny, adorable little baby shoe things if they wish to set foot on the frigid pavement. Those from warmer climes throw on layer after layer to no avail, still finding themselves shivering and their extremities numbed. Perhaps Mother Nature decided it […]

Columbia finals ended over two weeks ago (18 days ago to be exact), but many of us still don’t have our final grades. Despite New Years signaling a new start, the past still has still haunted us through its sporadic – and often lacking – SSOL grade inputs. Though we are spending our breaks constantly refreshing our emails to […]

My sweet angel Jenny has already written a goodbye post for the old board, but it only seems fitting that the outgoing Editor in Chief also write a farewell post of sorts. My tenure on Bwog’s editorial board for the past year and as Editor in Chief for the past semester (and the summer, I […]

Events Editor Isabel Sepúlveda didn’t think it was possible she could ever relate to Odysseus, who takes a spot in her top 5 least favorite Lit Hum characters. After a disastrous bus trip back from break, she at very least understands him a lot better now.  Tell me, Muse, of the trip of many ways, and […]

In light of the debates about where to get a bagel around campus now that Nuss is dead, I just want to confess that I don’t actually know what a “good bagel” is, and I think that everyone should calm down. It’s just a bagel! bagel via me

If you’re lucky, you’ll have at least a few days of downtime between your midterms. If you do, you’ll probably look up to realize that your entire life has turned into a giant mess while you were stressing about that paper. We here at Bwog get it and we have some tips on how you can […]

Why does one of the dorms farthest from campus smell like a popular fast food restaurant? Staff writer Ezra Lerner has a theory.  A question that has plagued me since I first walked into the lobby of Harmony is “why does it smell like a McDonald’s?” (Don’t argue with me on this. If you don’t […]

For most Americans, including probably the majority of students at Columbia, Thanksgiving is a holiday to go home, eat as much turkey as can possibly fit in your body, and spend time with your family. Or at least that’s my understanding; I wouldn’t know because I’ve never gone home for Thanksgiving in the past 6 […]

If you’ve ever had a conversation with me, you know that I’m not a woman in STEM™. I’ve never been very good at math or science, and have come to complete peace with that. I can’t even say numbers in French, my actual major, or read Roman numerals past 39, though Classics is my other actual major. The […]

Milstein Peet’s Coffee is better than any of the three Joe Coffees, and you can’t change EIC Youngweon Lee’s mind. Joe wishes he could be Peet. In his dreams!
