While most Columbians took trains, planes or cars, Zoë Danner, CC ’17, rode her motorcycle to school. From Alaska. Bwog was fascinated and terrified. Zoë admits she’s a tad tired of being known as ‘motorcycle girl’ but was happy to share her experiences of the Road with motorcycle enthusiast Miranda Kantor. And of bison. Bwog: […]
So, this happened: We’re here to serve, so here goes: Hartley Sky Lounge (extra great because of the Kerouac and Langston Hughes plaques) Schapiro Sky Lounge Butler 6 (well, kinda) Broadway …and, we’re out. Sound off in the comments all the places we forgot.
Big changes going on this season in your favorite neighborhood: from bold new colors to daring new culinary choices to some extreme construction work in Butler, Columbia is a totally different place. Brace yourself for a whole new world below:
Remember when you were touring Columbia and the junior leading the tour talked about students could easily take six classes, do a work-study job to make some money, and get a prestigious internship—all in the same semester? Have you actually thought about doing any of that since starting classes? Never fear: Bwog has a quick […]
It seems hard to believe that any plant life could have survived the muggy, oppressively hot disgustingness that was the weather yesterday. The Columbia Greenmarket, however, is back in action and proving our fiery-doomsday premonitions wrong. Here’s what to look forward to for today: It feels like the middle of summer but the market is […]
Saul Goodman, Breaking Bad‘s skeezy lawyer and resident snappy dresser, is getting his own spinoff series. The world can only hope this means there’s a possibility of a Huell-centric spinoff, too (Hollywood Reporter). Why Bwog doesn’t go fishing and, to be honest, is a little uncomfortable swimming in the ocean. (Grind) Looks like Miley and […]
We know the beginning of the year is rough. And if you’re a first- or second-year CC student (or a dreadfully unlucky SEAS senior), you’re most likely wishing you didn’t have to read that giant classic tome you were just assigned to finish by tomorrow. Can’t it just be summer again so you can binge watch […]
Like everyone already noticed, the Columbia University College Republicans have once again brought the 9/11 Never Forget Project to campus. Students gathered last night to place flags in the grass along College Walk. The 2,997 flags commemorate the lives tragically lost twelve years ago. The University also flew the two main flags on campus (the […]
Bwog is bringing back its infamous feature 2girls1snack, in which we reference shock porn that was made when ’17ers were like 11 years old, and also review snacks around MoHi. This week, we sent Elizabeth Self and Lorna Hale to fill us in on our hot chocolate options. Both of your taste-testers, being from the […]
Bwog’s new Barnard Bureau Chief extraordinaire Lauren Beltrone braved the cheery glow of the Diana to report to you from Monday’s meeting. The first meeting of the semester started off with Renee Kraiem, SGA’s VP for Communications and my lovely predecessor, reviewing the new “on the recond” rule, which holds that tacking “this is off […]
While you’re still in denial about the inevitable onslaught of midterms, papers, and problem sets that will soon descend upon you, take advantage of the first few weeks of the semester and its myriad opportunities for free food.
