Approaching a potential new friend at Columbia can be super hard; subtly indicating to that person how cool/smart/funny you are without outright showing them your canon of Will-Arnett-as-Gob impressions can be even harder. Bwog has been there! That’s why we’ve prepared these versatile, easy-to-use mad libs for those Sweet ’16ers who haven’t quite broken the […]
A nocturnal critter of the crime-fighting variety has decided to move in on Wien 10, “living,” as the tipster put it, “happily on the ceiling.” They’ve named the little guy Bruce Wien, probably because the bat is a rich orphan or something. Thanks to DY for the tip
Maybe Mitt Romney should just give up now, because apparently the odds of him becoming president are a wee bit slim. (NYMag) A former Croatian tennis star was forced to give up his net dreams due to injuries, but hey, he’s now a student at Columbia Law School. (NYTimes) Is hookup culture a sign that […]
Submissions are still coming in for our contest, which ends on Sunday. So just keep your mouth shut till then and you won’t be embarrassed. Italians, cover your ears. From Helen K. A group of elitist freshmen monopolizing the Westside cheese aisle: “Mozzarella?! No! That’s peasant food.” Sounds about right, Alex J. Drunk girl counting […]
Tomorrow at 8 pm WKCR Offbeat is holding a pretty exciting concert at Shea Stadium (no, not that one) in Brooklyn.

Update 2: Jade is no longer a Speccie. Spec just updated their editors’ note to add that “we have absolutely no tolerance for plagiarism, and Jade’s relationship with Spectator has been terminated.” Update: Bonacolta’s position, according to Spec’s printed masthead, is currently Arts & Entertainment Associate, which is apparently the 3rd (and lowest) tier of editors […]
Even though this sounds like another Activities Fair booth, we felt sorry for the Office of the University Chaplain because they aren’t going to be on Low Plaza, but up by St. Paul’s Chapel. Religious Life Advisors will also be on hand to meet and greet new students. Maybe hit them up for post-fair dessert? Cookies, […]
President Obama concluded the Democratic National Convention last night. (NYT) Check out front page news coverage of the event from around the country. (Newseum via Slate) If you don’t have time to watch a 30+ minute speech, maybe you’ll have to time to “watch” it though the power of gifs? (Atlantic Wire) This morning August […]
Despite always playing second fiddle to Carman’s “fun” dorm reputation, the denizens of John Jay are hip party-cats in their own right, and as such, have created numerous nicknames for the single-ridden dorm. As an homage to this spirit of creativity, and in anticipation of your first official Thursday night out, here are 7 drinks […]
Tonight is the first Thursday of the year, so be smart and fill up with charitable carbs before you head out into the wine-dark night. Peer Health Exchange is hosting an event at 8 pm in the East Ramp Lounge in Lerner. If our helpful graphic wasn’t enough, there will be pizza at this event. […]

Our not-so-definitive list of The Best Classes Ever just wasn’t awesome enough, so here are even more can’t-miss courses, featuring all the professors you secretly stalk in Westside and on Facebook. To make it even easier, we’ve split the list by classes you can register for RIGHT NOW (if there’s space), […]
