Rant: The MCAT Can SMD

By Bwog Staff on Jan 24, 2019 1 Comments

Disclaimer: The MCAT is probably useful for identifying qualified medical school matriculants. In the grand scheme of things, the 2015 MCAT change was probably for the better. Now for my rant… In a happier past, Amigos and Cannons were Morningside Heights fixtures. The US government was paying its employees. And the MCAT (Medical College Admission […]

By Sarah Harty on Jan 24, 2019 0 Comments

Over the holidays, Bwog brought you a Christmas playlist to soften the blow of finals while celebrating the ~festive~ atmosphere. However, post-New Year’s, winter is a whole other monster. And it’s really cold. So we made you a playlist for now too:

Bwoglines: It’s Not A Phase, Dad Edition

By Sarah Harty on Jan 24, 2019 0 Comments

Happening In The World: Juan Guaidó, the leader of the opposition in Venezuela, has declared himself interim president to solve the country’s ongoing economic crisis. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said that the United States now recognizes Guaidó as the leader of Venezuela. Actual (former?) President Nicolas Maduro cut off diplomatic ties with the U.S. […]

Bwog Love: Our Roommates

By Isabel Sepúlveda on Jan 23, 2019 0 Comments

Everyone has a “terrible roommate” horror story, which is valid because the tragedy of the commons exists and people are terrible. But that doesn’t mean we should forget the other valiant soldiers: the good roommates who make the hellscape that is communal living downright enjoyable. Today, several Bwoggers salute their roommates, who go above and beyond […]

Bwog’s Book Club: ‘The Secret History’

By Liv Nelson on Jan 23, 2019 0 Comments

As is normal for a student, when you’re constantly analysing university texts left, right, and centre, picking up a book voluntarily is not very common. I too related to this. However, when a four-hour-long hair appointment quite literally forced me to look up from my phone, I refound my childhood love of reading for pleasure as opposed to […]

Bwoglines: Cow And Mattress Topper Edition

By Brigid Cromwell on Jan 23, 2019 0 Comments

Happening in the World: Farmers in Edalpur, India locked cows in public schools to prevent them from destroying crops. Nearby villages followed suit, occupying schools with cows and sparking outrage amongst educators. While the issue seems nonsensical on the surface, Prime Minister Narendra Modi believes cows’ sacred status in Hinduism protects them under the law. (Washington […]

Professors Gone Wild: Call For Opening Remarks

By Jenny Zhu on Jan 22, 2019 0 Comments

The only thing that might be wackier than the aggressiveness of the cold wind outside, the still-mediocre SSOL redesign, and this season of The Bachelor combined…..is syllabus week. Whether it’s discussing “that hip new Jay-Z music video” or performing a literal satanic ritual, professors always capitalize upon their first classes to say and do the wackiest, sweetest, funniest, and […]

It’s Fucking Cold 2: Arctic Boogaloo

By Bwog Staff on Jan 22, 2019 0 Comments

It’s so fucking cold. Polar winds blast down Manhattan’s avenues. Dogs are reduced to wearing tiny, adorable little baby shoe things if they wish to set foot on the frigid pavement. Those from warmer climes throw on layer after layer to no avail, still finding themselves shivering and their extremities numbed. Perhaps Mother Nature decided it […]
