By Bwog Staff on Nov 24, 2013 22 Comments

Last week, Bwog sat down with Mitch Swenson, a General Studies student who recently traveled to Syria as a war reporter. So, sneaking into Syria to report on the war: how do you do that? How does one get started? Originally, I contacted two journalists that were working for an outfit called War Is Boring, […]

Man in the Mirrorchesis: Trying to Push Boundaries

By Bwog Staff on Nov 24, 2013 15 Comments

Some of your classmates are insanely talented at channeling their inner Michael Jacksons. The multidimensionally modern Madysen Luebke checked out this fall’s Orchesis production. Man in the Mirrorchesis was not this Bwogger’s first time seeing this dance group’s show.  Their performances have always been entertaining for dancers and non-dancers alike.  However, this semester did not stick […]

By Bwog Staff on Nov 24, 2013 2 Comments

Bucket List represents the unbelievable intellectual privilege we enjoy as Columbia students. Aka, you’re paying for tuition and might as well get the most out of it, right? This is a short week because of Thanksgiving break, but the pickings are good across all disciplines. Recommended: “NYC Summit on Children: Keynote With Mayor-Elect Bill de Blasio” […]

On Wellness, Semantics, Transparency, and Other Buzzwords

By Bwog Staff on Nov 23, 2013 49 Comments

Bwog Editor Alexandra Svokos is tired of hearing the word “wellness.” This past Sunday, the Student Wellness Project hosted their second Wellness Summit from 1-4 pm in the Diana. I left this summit far more stressed than I had been before I walked in. I was agitated following the discussions, having been pounded with a […]

Dance Marathon Going Strong 5 Hours In

By Bwog Staff on Nov 23, 2013 3 Comments

Five and a half hours into the CUDM for pediatric AIDS prevention and things seem to be going swimmingly. Bwog popped in and spotted a number of things: lots of falafel and Havana empañadas, Venom and Onyx performing, and, most importantly, Danza Kuduro blaring through the speakers. But things were looking kind of sparse so maybe […]

In Defense Of: 209

By Bwog Staff on Nov 23, 2013 1 Comments

In our somewhat-regular feature In Defense Of, we bring much-needed support to the most maligned Columbia (or life) institutions. This week, sometimes studier Alexandra Avvocato puts her books aside to defend that most notorious of reading rooms: Butler 209. As a freshman, I avoided Butler 209 like the plague. According to established wisdom, it was […]
