By Bwog Staff on Feb 19, 2012 2 Comments

A Study Space Of One’s Own

Bwog Staff 7

be careful not to fall off those ledges though
bwog can personally attest that the 4th floor barnard hall armchairs are super comfy
bwog explores campus
bwog loves butler but bwog also loves places outside of butler
campus
finding a nice place to study on a campus of over five thousand people - it's a struggle
hide and seek
luckily bwog is here to help
the most awkward thing is when you cough in a reading room and everyone turns to silently judge you

#TBT: The First World Leaders Forum

Mia Lindheimer 0

#tbt
actually did putin even need a translator? was putin fluent in english at this point?
but the real question is: how did those snipers get onto the hamilton roof
could putin have taken lithum?
did his translator have to painstakingly explain to him that not all buildings called "library" in america are actually libraries
do you think putin was confused by the fact that cu has a building called low library that isn't a library
if putin visited london and stayed at the ritz hotel would he be ... putin on the ritz
russian snipers probably train in parkour cause they're hardcore
the next time you walk across low plaza remember that vladimir putin once also walked across low plaza

Sounds Of CU: Hamilton Hall

Emma Seely-Katz 0

a ladies' room every three floors? what is this? 1820?
can we talk about those hamilton bathrooms though
do you think alexander hamilton had to climb this many stairs all the time
hamilton probably stayed in shape AND created the US financial system
if you listened to the hamilton musical while studying in hamilton would that help you pass your french exam or would it be so much hamilton your mind had to spontaneously combust
playlist
sounds of cu
they didn't have elevators in the 18th century
truly a role model for us all
