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 […]

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?

Finals officially started today! That’s pretty scary. To get you through, Bwog is seeking the advice of some people who won college—namely, your professors. In today’s Actual Wisdom, we talked to English professor Julie Crawford of Fall 2011 Literary Texts and Critical Methods fame.

If you’re anything like Bwog, you also miss another fundamental institution often associated with finals: snow. So instead of studying for that […]
As reported by basically everyone, Stanford has withdrawn its bid to construct a science and engineering campus in New York as part of Mayor Bloomberg’s campaign to reinvigorate the city’s reputation as a technology hub.
