Here it is: the day you’ve been waiting for. The day you said you’d get your shit together and thereby be ready to march into finals week like a victorious general of old. It isn’t gonna happen, but at least you have Bwog In Bed. Bwogline: Columbia legend Sunil Gulati has made his way into the […]
For Reading Week, Bwog is sharing a walk a day leaving from Columbia’s campus. Today’s Walk to Remember comes from Internal Editor Britt Fossum, who has been known to stress-walk approximately 500 miles when faced with looming finals. When you get kind of stir crazy after a long day in Butler, head off campus to […]
Here is our second senior wisdom of the day, brought to you by Barnard senior Ally Engelberg. Name, School, Major, Hometown: Ally Engelberg, Barnard, American Studies/Film Studies double major, Lexington, Massachusetts (yes, home of the Shot Heard ‘Round the World, the Battle of Lexington and Concord, “the Redcoats are coming,” Paul Revere— you know the drill). Claim […]
Ah, Cinco de Mayo, the favorite holiday of frats/srats and other cultural appropriators everywhere. Here’s what some Columbia students did on the holiday/the first day of reading week. Went into a fit of rage at Amigo’s after not getting seated 45 minutes after my RESERVATION TIME. Went to the Heights where I had some good margs. Drunkenly […]
Not only is it finals time, but it’s also allergy season (which could perhaps be stylized as ALLERGY SZN). This playlist below will get you through your pollen-related woes, and perhaps may help you to focus in and study a little bit, too. Machine Gun by Slowdive – A song to listen to as you drown […]

Following what we can now fortunately consider to be a regrettable preview, we are pleased to announce the official Spring 2015 Columbia University Marching Band Orgo Night event posters, sure to join their predecessors in offending and inspiring those portions of campus that will still give a shit amongst finals. CUMB one CUMB all, Thursday, 11:55, in […]

You know it’s an interesting SGA meeting when Deborah Spar says, “This is the point in the conversation where I usually have to turn to my lawyer.” Not to worry, though, Barnard’s favorite celebrity is legally in the clear. Her lawyer comment came in response to a question about the line between students and the […]
