Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. We do our very best to bring to your attention important guest lecturers and special events on campus. Thursday is a university holiday, so there are very few lectures scheduled this week. Our recommendations are below and the full list is after the […]
The U.S. and some of its allies have suspended Russia’s membership to the G8. This is almost as big a deal as when Regina got kicked out of the Plastics. (New York Times) The three parachuters who dove off the WTC Freedom Tower last September just surrendered to authorities. Watching the video actually made our […]
We have for you something special, something dark, and something painful. It is possibly the worst game you will ever play, or at least generally one of the most mediocre. Honestly, it’s just a bunch of random Columbia references on white-square sheets of paper but we appreciate Cards Against Humanity for making it acceptable to […]
We hope your spring break was relaxing, fun, engaging, and/or generally dope. If it was, and if it happened to inspire you to write, come share you enthusiasm with your friendly neighborhood snarky student online publication! We’re meeting tonight at 8pm in 505L (walk into the SGO and look left). Come listen, write a pitch, […]
GS students, staff, and faculty received sad news today—GS student Harmeet Singh Sohal has passed away. This was Harmeet’s first semester in GS, where he was studying computer science and applied mathematics. We extend our condolences to Harmeet’s family and friends, and request that commenters use the space respectfully. As always, Columbia Psychological Services and […]
We know that rising sophomores everyone needs a little help with housing. The system is confusing and it’s unclear who you ought to talk to if you have specific questions about how to get things done. Thankfully Bwog is full of housing curiosity and we’ve been working hard over the last few weeks to compile a list […]
Lions super-fan Max Rettig brings you an update on what the Lions have been up to over Spring Break. This season, the men’s basketball team won 20 games for the first time since 1970, making it Columbia’s best team in four decades. The Lions earned a spot in the CollegeInsider Tournament (CIT). The CIT takes […]
“When you play the game of Columbia Housing, you win or you die.” —Cersei Lannister Whether or not you’re ready for it, Housing 2014 approaches. Lottery numbers are now up, which would probably explain why half of your floor is already crying. If you haven’t yet looked at your number, take a few moments to […]
Russia wants the US to know that by convening a G7 summit the US is doing absolutely nothing useful. US officials respond with “what’s next?” (NYT) Remember Kony 2012? Remember the underwear incident? Remember forgetting about Kony 2012? Well some people didn’t, asked what’s next, and now the US just deployed 150 special forces troops to find […]
We received this video of a party in the John Jay laundry room from freshman Matteo Leibowitz. Let’s just say that this is the most awkward party we’ve ever seen (certainly not on the Grisham level)—you really have to see it for yourself: We originally thought it was another propaganda video from CCSC, but that […]
Columbia Elections Board just released the official candidates for CCSC, ESC, and GSSC. We hope you’re as excited as we are. Despite the changes to E-Board elections, only one person is not running in a full party for the CCSC Executive Board. Joseph faces two complete parties, whereas the ESC E-Board is uncontested. 2017, understandably, […]
Bwog missed you crazy kids so much that we practically spent all of break crying in misery. Just kidding, Bwog loves vacation. Here are a few shenanigans from both the news and also the Bwog Tips inbox that occurred at the good ol’ Columbia while you were gone. We love Bwog Video and apparently so […]
