In our penultimate Actual Wisdom (look out tomorrow night for a super special Dean Wisdom), Nathan Pilkington casually drops his language prowess, explicitly mentions his Southerness, and eschews Columbia lions in favor of another savanna animal. 1. Justify your existence in 30 words or fewer. To remind Columbia freshmen that they have reached the start […]
It’s the last market week of the semester! Go and celebrate your last final/fortify yourself for your last final with hot cider, donuts with massive amounts of sugar, and other market-y, wintry things. The Columbia market is open year-round on Sundays and Thursdays and as always, accepts credit, debit, and EBT. There is food scrap collection […]
It’s now only a matter of hours until you can jump for joy and revel in the total freedom of winter break. Draw from us the strength to last one more day, and we’ll see you tonight at the party end of the world. Bwogline: Although the Canadian video of a child being flown away by an […]
1. Justify your existence in 30 words or fewer. I don’t need to justify my existence–I wasn’t responsible for it. But since I’m here, I hope that by the time I’m gone I’ve written a few things and loved a few people well. 2. Your claim to fame (what makes you special?): Oh man — […]
Last night, Bwog procrastinated from its various papers by conducting another Bwog Asked on unsuspecting library-goers, this time asking the ambiguously ominous question, “What keeps you up at night?” Here’s a sampling of some of our results, along with an unexpectedly detailed conversation about grease. Boy constructing cheatsheet in 210: Wet dreams. Get it? 209 […]
In preparation for their final exams, several statues around Columbia and Barnard have been seen preparing themselves with style. When asked by Bwog, they had sound reasoning for the new accessories. The Barnard Runner, preparing for her Ancient Studies final, said that she wears the tie to remember the changing view of what a noble […]
Well, Teen Vogue. If you were impressed with your ability to change from pajamas into baggy sweatpants for (most of) the past three weeks, re-evaluate your wardrobe skills. The Columbia and Barnard students–including CCSC President Karishma Habbu–who got profiled by Teen Vogue this finals season managed not only to make themselves presentable, but what some […]
We’re bringing back this old feature…just in time for winter break! In BwogSalon, we showcase exemplary articles from other Columbia publications for you to peruse. For this installment, we bring you humor magazine Jester. Their new issue, “Then,” is available in the Lerner Piano Lounge, racks in Lerner and Butler, and most dorms. If your […]
This PSA is relevant only to those who have electronic swipe access to their room via CUID. If you access your room with a mechanical key or a Ving card (the one with holes in it), go find some other way to procrastinate. Last week, housing sent out an e-mail to everyone who uses their […]
In an email sent out to Barnard students, DSpar announced that this year’s commencement, on May 19, will be held at Radio City Music Hall as opposed Columbia’s campus, where it typically happens. The short email explained that there will be a Baccalaureate Service at St. Paul’s Chapel and academic receptions at Barnard. There will be […]
Two more days of finals! That means that either you’re either getting annoyed at your friend that’s already done or that annoying friend who has already finished a season on Netflix. In 36 hours you should be done too, so hang in there, Columbia. Don’t forget to email tips@bwog.com with any last-minute campus craziness. Bwogline: Instagram can […]
We’re about halfway through finals, which means the fun’s not over yet, and neither is your time in Butler. To help you get through the home stretch, we’ve re-posted below last year’s Butler Bingo: Archetypes edition. It’s finals week and you know what that means. We’ve lampooned the inanity of Butler before, but this year […]
