If you felt like you were being watched this morning, it’s probably because students from the Success Academy were debating whether or not you qualified as someone “walking with friends.” Seems fun, right?

We sent Bwog’s decoration devotee Roberta Barnett to check out Columbia’s own North Pole in EC. She wasn’t disappointed with her findings: It’s finals holiday season, and the days (and nights in Butler) are full of warmth and brightness and clichés! For those of us who haven’t stopped studying except maybe to check Bwog, shower, […]
While crossing Broadway at 115th street, a tipster overheard this exchange between two “somewhat nerdy” men, narrowing down the possibilities to roughly half of Columbia’s community. Guy 1: “Trust me, after living in this city for four years, I’ve seen everything. Everything. One day I was in the subway, and a woman just took off […]

Update, 12:48 am: And apparently all of you in Butler are busy procrastinating by confessing your crushes on this Tumblr… Finals cometh and with that Butler is completely full. After doing the rounds for a half hour, Bwog has determined that, as oft happens this magical time of year, there are no more open seats. Go […]
Being a young Hispanic male and someone who has very strong opinions about immigration in America, Zach Hendrickson jumped at the opportunity to check out The Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity’s exhibit from the Mexican-American artist Dulce Pinzón. Located on the fourth floor of Hamilton Hall, Superheroes: Latino Immigrants Who Make New York, is a […]
With a smaller audience than they’ve seen this semester, SGA’s Rep Council met last night in the Diana Center Café for a meeting that was short and pretty sweet. Renée Kraiem’s report in honor of yesterday night’s brevity, is also pretty short. To everybody who meant to apply for one of the open positions on […]

On college walk: Guy: You know what I like about this campus? Everything looks like it’s under an Instagram filter. Girl: Is that how hipsters say something is beautiful now? The days when we compared scenery to a painting or movie are over. Fake vintage photography is where it’s at now.
