Bwog wishes you a very happy Hannukah! (Pro-tip: It’s pronounced with a throaty “h” sound, not like “ch” in chat). Right now, Chabad is celebrating with a massive menorah on Low, and Hillel is sponsoring candle-lighting in Shapiro, Carman and the Barnard Quad. Spin gimels, stuff your face with free donuts, and wash it down […]
You may have noticed this dope ass coffee cup at Blue Java this past week. Columbia is no stranger to ’90s throwbacks, or puns. This cup seamlessly integrates both. According to Rosie Fernandez over at Dining, “This is a vintage blue java cup that we brought back for finals.” Can we keep ’em Pa, please? Cup […]
Be on the lookout for the December issue of The Blue & White, arriving on campus this week. In the meantime, Bwog will honor our heritage/amorous affair with our mother magazine by posting features from the upcoming issue.

Bwog reads you! Enjoy a random walk though the past months via our favoritest of the favorite comments: “…The horse porn was still playing. He pulled the headphone jack out without looking away. And then I heard a sound no human should ever hear, a sound like Jenna Jameson in a glue factory. I ran…” […]
Lend us your ear as we eavesdrop on the heated debate casual conversation of two Nussbaum patrons re: multiplication tables and the the real definition of “precociousness” (it’s Bwog, and you know it). Nussbaum Patron 1: I was very precocious. I remember that in third grade, I argued with my teacher about whether their definition of […]
The good news: it’s Tuesday; this semester’s finals will cease to be your concern within the next 72 hours. The bad news: your sleep cycles, thesis title, life, and hair are all totally a mess. But wait—more good news! We’re inviting you to join us in our (very exclusive) bed for a few short minutes […]
A short while ago, a tall, well-dressed, middle-aged man strolled into Butler and started handing out candy canes to disheveled students. Grinning and making polite conversation, he proceeded confidently from the café to the third floor. Bemused bookworms naturally sent a flurry of tips, having cottoned on to the fact that this was not another […]
The dog days are over, but here’s photographic proof of yesterday’s merriment. We’ve never seen so many smiley (sober) Columbians—community has been unleashed! “It sounds like you guys really needed this,” one puppy owner told us. Furrealz. You can send in your own pics of puppy lovin’ and pooch smoochin’ to tips@bwog.com. Photos by Yanyi […]
And now for something a wee bit different. In today’s Actual Wisdom, English professor Edward Mendelson teaches us a lesson about breaking the rules. And about the perils of questionnaires. It’s all below, in his personally requested format. It’s kinda like when you take major liberties with an unappealing essay prompt and end up writing […]
Bwog literally runs on the human spirit. If you have lots of human spirit that you’d like to earmark for Bwog’s consumption, you should be a Daily Editor. Dailies get to ask people probing questions, get into events for free, have their words on the Internet, and consume lots of Westside cookies at meetings!* If […]
