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. Justify your existence in 30 words or fewer: Existence, least of all my own, needs no justification. We are, after all, ends in […]

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 […]
Earlier today, the Times reported that Václav Havel, the dissident playwright who was elected president of Czechoslovakia after the fall of the Soviet Union and later became the first president of the Czech Republic (after it split from Czechoslovakia), passed away at the age of 75.

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.

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:
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 […]
Sure, it’s Saturday night, but it’s also finals week, meaning that your closest encounter with anyone “dressed to impress” will likely be with this girl. Regardless, that urge to pack up and hit The Heights is probably pretty strong about now. To aid in your decision, we happily present a favorite from the archives, the […]
Like that frathlete you met a few weeks ago at the Heights, Bwog doesn’t really want to be exclusive right now. That’s why we’re bringing back BwogSalon, a feature in which we invite otherwriters into the Bwog Bubble. In the spirit of Enlightenment salons from centuries past, we asked campus publications to share an article from a recent issue. So […]
In case you haven’t thought about him enough while studying for Principles, Bwog brings you the next victim of Actual Wisdom: Sunil Gulati, Econ Prof and president of the US Soccer Federation. In addition to these commendable achievements, Bwog would also like to personally thank Professor Gulati with the idea for this series. Cheers! Justify […]
For our latest RoomHop, self-proclaimed Wicker Man fanatic Alison Herman trekked to Plimpton to explore the Cage that celebrates the Cage. Harry Hanrahan’s YouTube masterpiece “Nicolas Cage Losing His Shit“—a four-minute montage of the actor crying, screaming, swearing, and generally misbehaving—may seem like an unlikely inspiration for dorm room decor, but the residents of Plimpton 11A […]
