Maybe you’re reading this because you’re done with midterms. More likely, you’re reading this because you’re trying to avoid eye contact with all that reading that you told yourself you were going to get caught up on weeks ago. Either way, there’s no better way to escape their disapproving gaze than heading to this week’s Bwog meeting. […]
This weekend, the football and soccer teams made the trek up to Hanover, NH to take on the Big Green, while the field hockey team faced Dartmouth at home.

This week, it’s all about the subtleties of Columbia architecture. Can you tell the differences in the photos below? Update: Further architectural curiosities abound! A tipster has sent us the photo below, showing a new “little blue bird creature” nestled between a few objects on the ever-growing 114th median sculpture. Curious in that it was […]
A too-little, too-late (too-gross) allusion to shock porn? We would never! And we resent the accusation. No, this is just our feature about two very hungry girls trying to share big mouthfuls of one snack. Morningside is overflowing with seasonal treats, so we summoned Alison Herman and Sam Schipani to navigate the deep, dark, gooey (and […]

The question is whether or not the mother is a kind one that gives you unlimited fro-yo, or an overbearing one that tells you things you already know. A tipster too busy indulging in Chipotle to deal with lines at the Action Station sent us […]
Perhaps he is there for structural balance? Or maybe he has been condemned to a life of holstering the statue’s weight for betraying his brother. Either way, since Bwog last passed by the sculpture, this strange little blue man has entered the postmodern circle of life. What’s going on here? Stay tuned for a review […]
Thursday night, Columbia was lucky enough to host one of the most well-spoken contemporary authors.
