Digital Stress Relief: Draw in the Snow!

By Bwog Staff on Dec 16, 2011 19 Comments

It’s finals season, and you probably can’t help but compare this year’s experience with previous years—was I better prepared? Did I just have a lighter courseload? Hey, when did I stop getting laid? If you’re anything like Bwog, you also miss another fundamental institution often associated with finals: snow. So instead of studying for that […]

Proposals from Columbia, Cornell, NYU, and Carnegie Mellon are still under consideration. Originally considered a front-runner in the competition, Stanford […]

Overheard: When Shower Snacks Go Awry

By Bwog Staff on Dec 16, 2011 2 Comments

Think your roommate’s bad? You may be down a stapler and up a few passive-aggressive handwritten notes, but it’s nothing compared to the adversity that some of our classmates apparently face in their dorm rooms each and every day. A concerned tipster reports overhearing the following roommate complaint, in a Starbucks: “I wish I could […]

By Bwog Staff on Dec 16, 2011 1 Comments

This afternoon from 4 to 6 pm in the Stephen Donaldson Lounge (in the Furnald basement), CQA is hosting their Ugly Sweater Holiday Party. Conveniently scheduled right after the Lit Hum and CC finals—built-in topics of conversation, mirite?—the sweaterfest includes “hot chocolate, eggnog, cider, milk, cookies, and other snacks.” Inspiration via CQA

But I Thought That Was This Week

By Bwog Staff on Dec 16, 2011 2 Comments

Filming for The Longest Week, a film starring Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde, Billy Crudup, and our very own Jenny Slate (!) and to be released in 2012, is taking place on 116th and Claremont today until 5pm. The plot summary on IMDB, which pretty convincingly suggests that this production won’t win any awards, reads: “Affluent and […]

Update: The band has provided a video showcasing assorted jokes and songs from last night. Relive the action below. Last night, Butler 209 played host to Orgo Night, one of Columbia’s time-honored traditions and the reason many upperclassmen choose to move off campus.

Learn Your Limericks!

By Bwog Staff on Dec 16, 2011 9 Comments

Bwog shines equally favorably on all cretins of the Core. We did it for CC, and oh, okay, since you insist, Lit Hum gets a bone too. Way back when, a few Bwoggers converted several thousands of pages of reading into limericks—the perfect size for you to memorize in between a breakfast of Red Bull and […]

Le Petit Déjeuner

By Bwog Staff on Dec 15, 2011 15 Comments

Bonjour! If you are in need of a carbohydrate boost after the exhilaration of Orgo Night spirals down and the dread accompanying the fact that you still have a few thousand words to go on that essay you plan to finish tonight begins to set in, procrastinate even further by stopping by Barnard for the annual Midnight Breakfast. This year, it […]
