5. Need to defrost your fridge but still want to eat? Try this stylish method of preserving food without refrigeration. (Wired) 4. It’s time to switch to Ibuprofen. A study done at Columbia shows that neither Aspirin nor Warfarin is superior for preventing a combined risk of stoke, death, and cerebral hemorrhaging. (Nurse) 3. Even though there […]
Name, Hometown, School, Major: Shira Borzak, Boca Raton, FL, Barnard College, History Claim to Fame? At one point, I probably tried to pick a fight with your student group as the Spectator Associate Editor in charge of letters to the editor, or as a member of the Spec Editorial Board, wrote a scathing op-ed totally unrelated to […]
Name, Hometown, School: Sarah Ngu. Malaysia (first 10 years). Irvine, California (7 years). Now in Long Island (3+ years). Columbia College. American Studies & Political Science. Claim to Fame? I like to think about questions, search for answers and create forums for people to discuss them, whether as the president of the Veritas Forum or as a […]
Name, Hometown, School, Major: Felicia Bishop, Arlington, MA, Columbia College, Sociology and African American Studies Claim to Fame? hmmm.. perhaps the most epic walk of shame? I was forced to run through hordes of graduating students descending on college walk for Commencement last year, smelling like the Heights manufactured a fucking fragrance to eternalize the nights we […]
Name/Hometown/School/Major: Amirah Sequeira, Winnipeg, MB, CANADA BABY. CC – History and Sustainable Development. Claim to Fame: Before the last Harry Potter movie came out, I spent an entire night in 209 writing a Harry Potter themed SGB newsletter. Also, Deantini called me a pain in the ass today (clearly I’ve succeeded in life). Once I got […]
Name, Hometown, School, Major: Jeff Stern, Los Angeles, California, CC’ 12, Film Claim to Fame? I’m another guy who successfully transferred to Columbia from a school in California, and once the admissions office used me for a photo shoot for the “Blue Book” but settled on a picture where all you can see is the back of […]
PSA: If you’re one of the poor souls still trudging on through the deep abyss of exams, please try to make it to your bed tonight—in part for your mental/physical health, but primarily ’cause Bwog finished last night, and we don’t want to have to post another series of these!
Yesterday, Columbia issued $100 million worth of 30-year bonds. Apparently the lack of AAA rated investments made our debt a particularly hot commodity. (Bloomberg) Many of you who have started packing to move out may have realized that you have a ton more shit than they really need, and sometimes your extra crap finds its […]
Name, Hometown, School, Major: Zach Levine, Fresno, California, CC, Anthropology Claim to Fame? Columbia’s gayest salutatorian since George Stephanopoulos. Sarah Camiscoli’s daughter. Really-wrote a thesis that is pretend-entitled “The Gayest Miracle.” Pretend-wrote a real porno entitled “The Gayest Miracle.” Columbia’s most confusing salutatorian. Where are you going? New York. My parents aren’t paying for me to fly home […]
Columbia’s got some of all the world’s most talented people, including but not limited to those guys who can/do eat literally four Wilma’s burgers in a sitting. Bwog caught up with GS freshman Tamar Mardirossian, whose singing talent has scored her lots of attention, an EP, “California,” coming out June 19th on iTunes, and this […]
Hi, it’s us again. Just reminding you that the fair folks over at Carsplit are here to make your imminent (it’s closer than it feels like, we swear!) departure a tad more pleasant. If you’re heading to JFK, LaGuardia, or Newark to catch a flight in the next couple days, Carsplit offers you a chance […]
Today from 4 ’til 8 pm, watch wide-eyed from your street-facing Nussbaum suite as the kinda shitty weather separates Columbia’s free food warriors from the fair-weather free snackers. Häägen-Dazs, purveyor of fancy ice cream and even fancier spellings, will be giving out one free scoop/cone to all those who dare brave the wait. It should go […]
