Something alarming happened to the Internet this week, but Bwog didn’t notice. (NY Times) It’s a good thing, because the Internet is fucking cool. Spend too much time watching YouTube videos, though, and you could end up addicted to email or to high fashion leather clothes. (Spectator, GQ) After four years and $14 million, Formspring is […]
With admissions letters/emails going out this week from Columbia and Barnard (Barnard stats when we get ’em, promise), Bwog has been getting nostalgic. To that end, here are some staff stories of learning we got in. Share your own in comments–especially you, Class of 2017, congratulations! I got into my mum’s car after school the […]
Location: 508 W. 114th St. Nearby dorms: John Jay, LLC, Carman. Same block as a bunch of frat/sorority houses brownstones and Broadway Residence Hall. Stores and restaurants: Nearly everything, especially on Amsterdam. Strokos is basically next door, and you’re just a short walk from HamDel, Artopolis, and Columbia Cottage. Stroll an avenue to the west […]
What looked like a typical Harlem Shake video came meandering into Bwog’s tip inbox last week; but unlike all the other frantic dances brought to our attention, this one was advertising a specific event, an event that you would maybe not associate with the Harlem Shake: Jesus Week. When it turned out that nobody at […]
It’s become more impressive to become a Columbia student than ever. According to Admissions, only 6.89% of freshman applicants were admitted to CC and SEAS this year. That’s a record low admissions rate for the University, narrowly edging out the 6.92% admissions rate of two years ago. The University received 33,531 applications—more than last year, […]
Looking for some cheap and oh-so-classy furniture for your dorm room? Look no further! Bwog received an email today from our beloved Ricardo Morales, Head of Public Safety, offering up a free cherrywood desk! While Bwog’s not sure it can fit both a giant desk and still have room for a bed in its room, […]
As your midterm grades start to come in, you might be fighting the urge to weep and shake your fists at the sky. If you’re nodding your head right now, listen up! Today is the CC and BC deadline to change a class to Pass/Fail and the SEAS drop deadline. Click here before that “D” […]
Rejoice! Appointment times for In-Person Selection have been revealed! Or at least, that’s what we assume from the email we got from Housing, because StarRez Portal is, as usual, having a meltdown. This number doesn’t tell you much–other than if you have an excuse to skip class or need to wake up stupid early. Remember […]
Hungry? For food? For knowledge? Attend today’s lecture “The Inner City as a Global Space” and feed both! Talk about the relation between global issues and urban settings while munching on a free lunch. The lecture will begin at 12:30 PM in the IAB and will be given by Columbia’s own Professor Sudhir Venkatesh. Bring […]
Two days of debate reveals a Supreme Court uncomfortable with making broad moves towards marriage equality. (Wall Street Journal) Are you as ridiculously excited as we are for Game of Thrones to come back? That was a trick question because OBVIOUSLY OF COURSE YOU ARE. If you’ve ever wondered where you would fit in the […]
BwogSex isn’t known for being meek, but today a guy recounts the rather awkward transition to dating from a sort-of-friends-who-have-drunken-benefits/late-night-buddies-who-tend-to-fuck relationship. Submit your story anonymously to our sexitor at sex@bwog.com or through our anonymous form (nude pics encouraged but optional). Sitting across from you at our small table in Starbucks, I am immediately drawn to how beautiful […]
Standard Delivery, the band that won the Glass House Rocks Battle of the Bands and will perform alongside Hoodie Allen at (SIN)esthesia, released its first single, “Where I Belong” on SoundCloud this evening. The infant indie group’s press release (how mainstream) says that they recorded with Smash Studios and expect to have two more singles out before […]
