Bwoglines: Highs and Lows Edition

By Bwog Staff on Feb 02, 2013 0 Comments

Low: According to an email sent out by the Harvard administration yesterday, a little over half the students involved in last year’s massive cheating scandal were forced to withdraw.

Lecture Hall Reviews: Math 207

By Bwog Staff on Feb 01, 2013 9 Comments

In this second installment of lecture hall reviews, Bwog crawls into the depths of the aptly named Mathematics (the building, not the subject …well also the subject too).

BwogLines: Nostalgia Edition

By Bwog Staff on Feb 01, 2013 9 Comments

After more than 30 years of being trapped in a closet, tortoise Manuela was found alive and well after her owner died and his children cleaned out his house. Red-footed tortoises can go two or three years without food, and can “survive by eating termites from the wooden floor,” which will become a very real solution if […]

By Bwog Staff on Jan 31, 2013 1 Comments

On Monday night, those with a taste for the finer things in life gathered for a poetry reading by Nick Laird and Timothy Donnelly.

Overheard: Cats 4 Lyfe

By Bwog Staff on Jan 31, 2013 1 Comments

We don’t know about you, but thinking about the future makes us want to cry. Getting a real job, being a productive member of society, having to, like, pay for stuff…it’s giving us stress dreams. At this point, we’re super thankful for tipsters who make us feel like “cat-lady” is a valid aspiration: “We could […]
