This week is a toxic mix for our productivity: it’s beautiful out, yet there is so much to be done before we can bask in the sunlight forever. It seems like we can’t do one without sacrificing the other, because there aren’t enough (any) outlets in the great outdoors to keep your computer charged long […]
If you’ve been spending your days and nights in Butler for the past week and haven’t noticed, it’s been fucking beautiful out lately.

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.

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).

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.

'just because you play joni mitchell at intermission doesn't mean you're in 1968'
betsy went to see the deaf west production of spring awakening with genevieve henderson (dramaturg; bc '19) in winter 2016 and wonders if she is indirectly to blame for any of this
bwog reviews student theater
cmts
for real though why was this production obsessed with corn
from our notes: 'wendla's voice was so good i started crying?'
other debated titles for this review included 'come cream away the bliss' and 'don't have sex - you will get pregnant and die'
shoutout to the conductor who jumped in last minute and did great
