Typically in listserv fuck-up posts, we remind you to never ever hit “reply all.” This time, however, we have a cautionary tale of checking the “send” line so you don’t reveal your egotistical jackass-ery to the full listserv and end up offending someone. Spec’s Publisher sent an email tonight that was supposed to go to […]
In honor of Saturday night, we’d like to help you plot your disillusionment with Columbia/NYC/being sociable. Bwog’s Lovely L’Artiste Lauren Beltrone brought this to fruition.
You may not know it, but Columbia is home to the recent winner of a national Campus DJ competition. Sophomore Nick Perloff goes by DJ Flaxo in his on-duty hours, and we sat down with him to hear about his dream venue and find out whether DJs still have nice headphones. Bwog: Why Flaxo? Nick: […]
Ever wonder just what it is those mysterious University Senators do after they’re elected in May? Bwog does, too. To find out, we spoke with Jared Odessky, CC ’15, about why the Senate exists and what a handful of undergrads are doing on it. Bwog: Can you tell me a little bit about the Senate […]
A few days ago we got this tip: “Bwog! Sofa stealing is getting out of control in Carman…. I’m too lazy to take pics but come check out the posters in the Carman stairways.” Both the tipster and Bwog were too lazy to check out the posters, but these sort of shenanigans happen every year so we […]
Lucy Sun, CC ’11, majored in economics and consults for Cognizant Technology Solutions. Lucy Sun is also “book therapist,” something she made up. Said Sun in an email to Gawker, “Think of ‘book therapy’ as a mash-up between traditional therapy and the wise souls at your local bookstore.” Sun will choose a book with you, read it with […]
We live in a judge-y time, faithful readers. You can’t love plaid and moleskines or coding the night away without someone shitting on you. “I’m staying away from these literary people. I’m sticking to engineers—no personality is better than a shitty one.” We will never find a more photogenic man on […]
Important: U.S. and Russia came to an agreement about Syria’s chemical weapons—one week for information about its weapons. (CNN) Meh: NPR is having some financial troubles. Bwog will still be here for you. (Washington Post) Of regional importance: Bloomberg will remain neutral in the upcoming mayoral elections. “I want to make sure that person is […]
In our continuing coverage on shitty things the university does to make life much more complicated than it should be, Bwog reporter Katherine gives the low down on the bathroom situation in the humble dorm, McBain. If you have a story email tips@bwog.com or use our anonymous form. Columbia, Columbia shouting her name where showering takes forever. I […]
It’s baaaaack: CCSC’14, ESC’14, and SGA’14 all bring you seniors the first Lerner Pub of the year tonight at 10 p.m. Head to the Lerner Party Space armed with your state I.D. and Columbia I.D. (you need both!) to enjoy some crowds and Columbia-provided beer. The space can only accommodate 250 people at a time […]
Apparently free Insomnia cookies are being offered at all volleyball games this weekend, which happens to be the Columbia Invitational. The next game is Binghamton (whatt?) vs Fordham at 5 pm in the Levien Gymnasium. Here’s a schedule of all the games, if you want to stock up. Cuteness via Wikimedia
Listen up first-years: Columbia’s bureaucracy is like a can of alphabet soup—it’s a jumble of letters that may or may not actually mean anything to you. Bwog found its own can and happened to ladle out “SGB.” Here’s what we tasted: The Student Governing Board is, naturally, one of the governing boards for student organizations. […]
