By Bwog Staff on Dec 19, 2011 10 Comments

Last Thursday, Army General Ray Odierno appeared on the Colbert Report to announce the end of the War in Iraq, and over the weekend, the last U.S. troops rolled across the border from Iraq to Kuwait. Most troops will be home for Christmas, but some 4,000 will remain in Kuwait as a quick reaction force. […]

Dark Was the Night (Of The Soul)

By Bwog Staff on Dec 19, 2011 37 Comments

Call us old-fashioned*, but Bwog likes sticking to traditions. That’s why we dared enter the dark abyss of terror and neurosis that is Butler without so much as a Virgil-figure to protect us (or at the very least warn us to avert our gaze from one of those 209-couples who seem to feed on creepy eye […]

By Bwog Staff on Dec 18, 2011 34 Comments

According to the Wall Street Journal, Mayor Bloomberg plans to announce that Cornell’s won the competition for an applied-science campus in NYC. They beat out the rest of the “shortlist,” which was down to Carnegie-Mellon, NYU, Cornell, and us, after Stanford dropped out on Friday. Not all hope is lost; even if Bloomberg awards Roosevelt Island to […]

By Bwog Staff on Dec 18, 2011 10 Comments

It’s finals week and you know what that means. We’ve lampooned the inanity of Butler before, but this year we’ve adapted Butler Bingo around those closest (literally) to you: Butler Archetypes. Here’s how to play: sit in Butler. Look at the game board. Scroll over each square to read its description. Look around you. When […]

Primal Scream For Noobs

If you’ve been cooped up in Butler for the past week like we have, you’ve probably forgotten how to use your voice/form words/engage with others. That’s okay. For your sake, and for that of the 2015ers, we’ll repost our comprehensive guide to Columbia’s loudest and most transient school tradition. Finals got you down? Then […]

Take a moment on your last Sunday at Columbia this semester to soak up some knowledge. In this edition of Actual Wisdom, classy Classicist Marcus Folch warns us not to be classist, among other things.

Overheard: Baby Daddy Edition

By Bwog Staff on Dec 18, 2011 5 Comments

Waking up with no idea where you are and how you got there isn’t an experience only reserved for the cast of The Hangover. After sitting through the pain of that final three hour exam, who wouldn’t want to go from hitting the books to hitting the bar? While most of these nights end with […]

Go Pet a Puppy!

By Bwog Staff on Dec 18, 2011 32 Comments

As you glance around the Reference Room, “cute” is probably the last word you would use to describe the sickly, sleep-deprived, and saddened masses surrounding you. But if you’re in need of a study break (and we know you are), then there are several little bundles of cuteness waiting for you. That’s right, the puppies […]

The One Where They Sign Into Hartley

By Bwog Staff on Dec 18, 2011 10 Comments

Bwog was a 90s kid—we spent a lot of our youth pretending to be sick so we could stay home and watch Friends (until Nick@Nite came on, at least). We were thusly titillated by the following tip, sent in by fellow Central Perk Pundit Grace Rosen:

Bwog In Bed: We Haven’t Slept Yet Either

By Bwog Staff on Dec 18, 2011 14 Comments

Join us in bed as we bemoan the existence of Sunday finals/try to eat an everything bagel without spilling poppyseeds into our bedding (spoiler alert: it’s impossible). Bwogline: We’re a little late in the game to report that a GS alum handed out $50 bills to current students on Friday, in a random act of […]
