Bwog isn’t quite ready for schoolwork yet and living in our parents’ house for a week has made us revert to childhood. Remember picture books? (The Atlantic) Perhaps the end to all our intellectual ennui will come when we start paying attention in our Spanish classes. (NYT) Or maybe we just need to live a little […]
Update, 12:16 pm: CSA extended the deadline to the 30th. Students only have four days (until March 22nd) to apply to be a CSA Peer Adviser. Bwog, still a bit groggy-eyed from spring break, wanted to investigate a bit more on what exactly this Peer Adviser job entailed and whether there’d be free food involved. CCSC […]
Drama over Obamanard aside, the president of the United States coming to speak at Barnard is a BFD. All of his carefully considered appearances are under extreme scrutiny, especially in an election year. Thus his decision (as DSpar explained, he requested to speak and was not asked) to speak at any college had to have involved […]
While some of us are snapping out of that movie marathon malaise and contemplating on working on that paper due Monday, or something, a fraction of the student body taking Peter Awn’s Islam class had the pleasure of opening their inboxes to this e-mail: I hope you all had a wonderful spring break. As I […]
Bwog was shocked to learn the world continually turns as we sleep in until 1 pm and subsequently spend the day watching Netflix. Because the news won’t take a break, we’re taking a break from being on break to break some news—cue a recovery nap. Donald Keene, a prominent scholar of Japanese literature and culture and […]
WikiCU announced today that there will be a change at captain’s chair, with Sam Aarons, SEAS ’14 and one of Bwog’s webmasters, taking control of WikiCU’s operations and Bwog taking a longer term advisory role. We’d link to WikiCU, but it’s still plagued by malware. Get on that, Sam. Statement from the outgoing WikiCU team […]
See Colombia Travel, a Colombian travel/tour agency, posted this riff on a “What my friends think I do” chart on their Facebook page. Little do they know, the DEA joke works both ways. comparison via See Colombia Travel
Naturally, everyone thinks of the tropical drinks of the Caribbean and Hawaii, but for those of us without the benefit of home cooking meals or schwanky resort fare, Spring Break also means JUNK FOOD and lots of it! This week’s Cooking with Bwog is Matt Powell’s gourmet guide to Spring Break survival, in three indulgent […]
While most people travel during Spring Break so that they may escape campus/Morningside Heights/NYC, it looks like a group of underclassmen beach goers decided to comfort themselves with a temporary monument to our rectilinear campus. Send in your pictures/stories/videos/life-altering mistakes from break, so that those of us stuck on campus can relax vicariously. tips@bwog.com Created […]
And by cooties, we mean it’s been hacked and infected by malware. Bwog is staffed by hopelessly computer-illiterate History majors, so we turned to one of our backend tech gurus to explain why you should stay the fuck away from WikiCU until told otherwise. It’s all about how dangerous malware could be. While most people will get […]
Director of American studies, Andrew Delbanco, took to the NYTimes op-ed section yesterday to voice frustration about elitism in higher education. THE Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum recently set off a ruckus when he attacked America’s colleges as “indoctrination mills” from which God-fearing Americans should keep their distance. Calling President Obama a “snob” for urging […]
