What’s in a name? Sportsball expert Ross Chapman gets to the bottom of this Shakespearean question, tracing the evolution of basketball player Maodo Lo’s nickname. As the Class of 2016 gets ready for their last spring break, the Columbia community as a whole says goodbye to the Basketball Class of 2016, one which will live […]
It’s almost here! You’ve been waiting since January 19th, we know. But now that the day is finally arriving, what will you be doing? Where will you be going? Just know that wherever you’ll be for Spring Break, it is what you make it. You have the power to make next week fabulous, and this […]
GSSC got heated up, but in a mild enough way. Romane Thomas was on hand to witness the combustive, creative energy of the Council, and reports back on newsletters, Spring Break, and snack attacks. Yesterday night neither midterms nor the flu kept a reduced General Studies Student Council (GSSC) from talking awards, menus, and Owl analytics […]
Donald Trump, the human manifestation of the John Jay sushi roll, is a step closer to becoming our venerated emperor; he handily won the Michigan primary. Meanwhile, Bernie Sanders unexpectedly carried the state, prolonging the struggle for the Democratic nomination. (Reuters) Kim K makes use of her crown and takes a stand against body-shaming. (Elle) Europe’s plan to relocate refugees to Turkey […]
Bwog has noticed that Columbia students tend to not be familiar with Barnard’s campus. In hopes of deducing just what these confused onlookers know about Barnard’s layout, we’ve asked some lucky CC/SEAS students to fill out blank maps of Barnard’s campus. Their—often completely wrong—assessments are included below. I was stopped by a confused woman the […]
As Bwog sits through our midterms this week, we’ve been amused with the sometimes hilarious, often extraneous thoughts which go through our heads. A Bwog staffer records their thoughts during an average experience of taking a midterm, inspired by true events. The beginning (75 mins left) OK what do we have here. I’ve studied for all of 10 minutes for this […]
This year, SGA revises its constitution. This week, they revise the procedure for revising, among a few other policies. What does that even mean? Mia Lindheimer tries to find out. This week’s SGA meeting opened with a presentation from Abby Porter (CC ’17) of Coalition Against Sexual Violence (CASV), a Columbia club with zero members […]
The Furnald birds are chirping, students are stress eating, and unaffiliated children are running around campus. This must mean spring is slowly beginning to sprung. To get you out of your midterm slump, Momma Nature decided to bless us with some nice weather this week. Today, the high of 66 degrees. Oh my, that is […]
If you are new student at Columbia this academic year, you are required to complete the Sexual Respect and Community Citizenship Initiative by March 20. If you did it last year, you are merely “strongly encouraged to participate.” While March 20 may still seem like a far way off, it’s actually the last day of spring […]
Today is Michigan’s Republican and Democratic Primaries. Be prepared for a barrage of targeted political ads, out-of-context soundbites, and diatribes from your Facebook “friends.” At least the excitement will keep your mind off midterms. (MichiganLive) If the Primaries aren’t keeping your mind off your next big test, perhaps the threat of worldwide nuclear devastation will. […]
One more week, Columbia. One week from today, we’ll all be enjoying warmer climates, or having Netflix marathons without needing to break for homework, or going on cool adventures without a textbook in sight. Who knows – we might even be asleep. But for now, unfortunately, we’re still stuck in the hellhole of Butler 209, trying […]
At this time of year, when we look back on our notes in preparation of midterms, we occasionally find funny, trivial, and downright unrelated content in the margins of our notebooks. Below is a sample of some of our favorite content, courtesy of the sleepy, uninterested students of Bwog. Page headers aren’t real notes: “Fuck […]
