On Wednesday night as part of the Writing Lives Series, Nick Hornby, author of About A Boy and High Fidelity had a conversation with Saskia Hamilton. Voracious reader Julia Goodman fangirled. I had been looking forward to seeing Nick Hornby since the Heyman Center sent out their calendar of events in January. Being a chronically late […]
We students aren’t the only Columbians obsessed with Nutella. While the good people at Columbia News are losing their minds over the addictive substance, the Student Affairs twitter caught Ke$ho getting high on his own supply: https://twitter.com/Columbia_SA/status/310048181520060417 No word on whether his Nutella habit is costing the university $5,000 a week.

It’s almost the end of the third quarter (we know Columbia doesn’t measure the year in quarters, but Bwog does so get over it) and whether you’re nearing the end of your time here or just realizing how close you are to getting ¼ of a college education under your belt, nostalgia abounds. Maybe it’s […]
A tipster sent us this photo of progressive house DJ 3LAU‘s spring touring schedule. It’s also posted on his official Facebook page. Look at April 18th: “New York, NY Columbia University” It’s not clear exactly why he’ll be playing here, though. The weeklong Columbia Music Festival, announced last month, was scheduled to run from April […]
The following brought to you by a sleepless, cold, and confused victim of dorm room facilities. Picture this scenario: it’s 3:40 am, and you’re lying in bed trying to fall asleep and subsequently wake up for your 8:40 class tomorrow. You’ve managed to drown out the drunk seniors outside Havana, your roommate’s incoherent mumbling, and […]

You should read the full issue either by (1) picking it up on campus or (2) letting your fingers do the walking, and logging on to theblueandwhite.org. I like to have the blinds […]
By now you’ve probably heard about Columbia’s issues with Nutella. As campus comes to terms with the fact that we’re all apparently hoarders, the Nutella story continues to grow.
