A white, spiral bound, graph-lined notebook, full of calculus! Last seen in Butler. Reward offered, I need it for finals! email me tjp2133@columbia.edu
As final papers and exams loom on the horizon, so comes the return of another, happier Columbia tradition: that week where you get to read about your professors’ preferences on cheese and oral sex. Actual Wisdom is back in all its elegant, awkward glory, and kicking it off is Barnard’s own Anne Prescott. Let her […]
As classes end and real studying begins, it is easy to get stuck in your head. Especially when you’ve been doing readings all day. Seemingly innocuous boards turn into something much more significant as the layers of meaning come to life and confound through what you learned in Psych 101. After all: Life is the same. […]
Sparsely decorated and warmly lit with incandescent bulbs he installed himself, JG’s Woodbridge room is nice enough to look at. But it’s not what’s in the room that caught Bwog’s attention; it’s what’s notably absent—namely, the Internet. Unlike the rest of Columbia’s Gmail-addicted, Twitter-happy student population, JG, CC ’14, prefers to minimize his use of […]
Alex Jones was there, and now shares his late night Latenite experience. Latenite rarely fails to deliver a raunchy, relevant, expletive-filled wham-bam of a show, and this fall’s anthology was perhaps the best in four years. I’ve always been a fan of Latenite, and so I decided this time to get the full Latenite experience: […]
Columbia has a wealth of libraries, abandoned classrooms, dorm rooms, and various corners in which to study for finals. But after the 5th day in a row wandering around Butler for 45 minutes trying to find a seat, even the most impressive library can get a little dull. Sometimes you need to practice your liberal-arts-hipster-cafe-typing […]
The official last day of classes was yesterday–despite the 5 make-up classes you’re taking this week because of Hurricane Sandy. Take a deep breath and read the words of professors’ end-of-year nostalgia exasperation. Herbert Sloan, Survey of American Civilization to the Civil War: “Unfortunately, the president during all of this is James Buchanan, who has […]
XMAS!7 was performed only one night—Monday, December 10th at 8 PM and at 10:30 PM. Kris Kringle-Crazed Mollie Krent reviews. Student directed, produced, choreographed, composed, and, most impressively, written, this show brought it. For those of you that failed to leave the dregs of Butler 209—first of all shame on you, I bet you were […]
Congratulations to the 2%! The Class of 2013 Junior Phi Beta Kappa members have just been announced by the College, with the remaining 8% of really smart people to be inducted in the spring. According to the CC website announcement, the country’s oldest academic honor society was founded for the pursuit of “friendship, morality, and […]
Last week, Elyse Pitock, BC’15, had a piece published in the New York Times Anxiety Column. This week, she has this interview published in Bwog. (Of which do you think she is prouder?) Here, she continues her important discussion on food anxiety. Bwog: How did you get your writing featured in the Times? What is your […]
In an (extremely) early decision, the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences has decided on their speakers for their convocation this upcoming May. Sebastian Thrun–Google VP and head of the Google X lab–will be speaking at the Ph.D. ceremony and Terry Plank, Ph.D’93–geochemist at Lamont-Doherty and 2012 recipient of a MacArthur “genius grant”–will be speaking at […]
Bwog encourages you to join us in bed with laptop chargers and Lit Hum books in hand for a continuation of last semester’s tradition, Bwog in Bed. We will be replacing full Bwoglines with this finals-oriented series until the end of finals the world (12/21). To help us lower the curve, remember to send in tips for everyone’s […]
