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. A founding member of Charter 77, Havel was an […]
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 […]
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 […]
The ultimate study break with crafts, yoga, bluegrass, cider, Stressbusters, and PUPPIES galore is happening tomorrow! According to the Facebook event, a whopping 1200 people plan to attend. This is the stuff of community, folks! Bwog received official word on the crafts selection: expect glitter glue, princess stickers and “80s glam” sharpies, among other festive […]
So some TAs were apparently enjoying some barley variety of no-no juice in Dodge Hall. And of course it was Brooklyn Lager and Yuengling, because creative types pursuing MFAs aren’t going to drink corporate beer like Anheuser-Busch. Do TAs have finals? Do these TAs have finals?
Self-proclaimed Orgo Night Veteran and Chief Ref Room Correspondent Sameea Butt meditates on the highs and lows of everyone’s favorite library musical comedy show. Something has become obvious to this Bwogger and five-time attendee of Orgo Night about the crowds that pack Butler 209 on a semesterly basis. Despite the speakers’ more than capable enunciation […]
