Just one more Music Hum final…. Bwogline: You go, Angelia Jolie. Finals tip: The Morton Williams gummy worms not only have smiles BUT little A’s stamped on them. Start inhaling them in the hope that ingesting A’s will be the same as receiving them from your professors. Procrastinate: Nostalgic seniors? This may make you cry. […]
Listen up, seniors: it’s your Class Prez! Name, Hometown, School: Ryan “_________” Mandelbaum, Cedarhurst, New York, Columbia College Claim to fame? I’m “the fat one in the Carman video,” “the study guide guy,” “the email guy,” and “the sweater guy.” You may have seen me standing on a canoe in the Delaware River or on the radiator […]
Don’t you hate sitting there hitting refresh on SSOL just hoping one person will drop out of that 15-person creative writing seminar? Well, now you can stop hitting refresh and simply wait it out: there’s an automated waitlist! That’s right, coming this fall (to instructors who choose to opt-in, including most non-core classes) all you have to […]
J-school professor Michael Shapiro is at it again, trying to get people paid for journalism. First it was through his Kickstarter-darling, The Big Roundtable. Now it’s with a class of his. On May 9, they launched this thing called Project Wordsworth. Which makes Bwog either very happy, or very sad, depending how much poetry J-school […]
In all the hours you’ve spent in Butler, surely a few times you’ve been captivated by the icy gaze of Dwight D. Bwog’s Perceptive Portraitist Angel Jiang explicates the portrait’s composition and subtext. The portrait of the man resides at the top of Butler Library’s monumental staircase. His gaze draws the line of sight upwards […]
Hometown heroes Vampire Weekend took to Reddit this morning to promote their brand spanking new album, Modern Vampires of the City. Along with vital topics like salmon shorts selection and Ezra Koenig’s cameo on Girls, the bandmates also upped our collective street cred by chatting about Columbia for a bit. Turns out either Chris Baio or Chris Tomson didn’t […]
In the first Senior Wisdom of the day we bring you the wonderful James Bennett II, star of Columbia’s Harlem Shake, Sensual Sundays, the International Butler Anthem, WKCR jazz shows, your dreams, and so on and so forth… Name, Hometown, School: James A. Bennett, II; Baltimore, MD (the original Bay Area- Chesapeake what up); Columbia College […]
Bwoglines: Although there probably is serious news, Bwog still cares about Jennifer Aniston. In totally unrelated news, the new Daft Punk album, Random Access Memories, leaked yesterday, but if you really love Daft Punk you already have it. Finals Tip: Have sex instead of studying for finals. According to the ever-reliable WebMD, it cures everything but cancer, as if you need a reason. Also […]
Tonight’s second Senior Wisdom: Eva Suarez, who will marry every single one of you. Name, Hometown, School: Eva Suárez, Washington DC, CC Claim to fame? I was the best RA you ever had. Or, the worst. I don’t do anything halfway. Where are you going? Most immediately, I’m moving to Brooklyn and working at a […]
Just as the collective hopes and dreams of Columbia’s campus were being crushed by the weight of finals… ducklings appear. Mama Duck and her dozen or so babies, waddling and quacking their way around the side of Butler today (did these guys get busy?!). Alas! A heavy wind sweeps a few duckling off the ledge, […]
Bwog has gotten a few tips from people who are way too stressed out lately: bwog, i want to cry. And: Lost – Motivation. Not sure where I lost it, I just kind of woke up one morning to find it was gone. Can’t write my papers without it. If found please return. We want […]
I go to Dodge all the time. And when I say Dodge, I mean Dodge Hall, where the Gabe M. Wiener Music & Arts Library is—but I did go to a basketball game once in the more athletic Dodge. The beauty of the music library is precisely in that almost no one knows where it […]
