The […]

It’s true, classes have barely started – but, as the indefinable They governing our colloquial expressions say, only three things in life are inevitable: death, taxes, and weird professors. In this first week, the realm of syllabi and awkward silences, many of your professors probably haven’t planned out lectures beyond reading over a typo-ridden document […]

It may be cold enough to freeze your coffee inside its not-particularly-well-insulated Starbucks cup, but that’s not about to stop your new professors from piling you with work. But this semester is going to be The Semester – the one when you finally get ahead in your classes, find a cool paid internship, and figure out the secret […]

An accident occurred earlier today in Honduras involving students on the Columbia Medical Brigade trip. A passenger bus carrying 30 students and adult volunteers to the Toncontín International Airport drove off a Honduras highway into a ravine. All of the passengers were affiliated with the Columbia Medical Brigade. Three passengers are confirmed dead and eight are in critical […]

Like most schools, Columbia has a somewhat propagandist social media presence (like, where do they find all those pictures of smiling students?). Yesterday, to that end, Columbia’s Facebook page posted a “reminder of what a winter day should look like on campus”– you mean, because it’s so warm? Or because snow in NYC seems to immediately turn […]

As our semester draws to a close, we (as most Columbia students tend to do) are already looking to the new year. As you make your way home for the holidays, remember to take time this vacation to relax and realign (or something…do we sound like a Soul Cycle instructor?). Here’s a list of our […]

It’s (technically) the last day of finals, but we’re hoping your professors moved your finals that were supposed to be today to some time last week. Most of Bwog is home by now, and we’re using this winter vacation to relax, recharge, and return to school feeling like we’re “on a new level” (or something). […]

The outpouring of actual wisdom continues with Statistics professor Phillip Protter, who talks surprisingly little about statistics and surprisingly a lot about football and coffee houses. Justify your existence in 30 words or fewer: I click to save the world, therefore I am. Claim to fame: I took second in the mile relay for the state […]

Bwog Poetry

Now seems like a pretty good time to reflect upon the past year, so we used a website called Poetweet to turn some of our tweets from this year into poetry. Poetweet kindly produced a sonnet, a rondel, and an indriso, and even titled the poems for us. Some of the stanzas are quite apt, and […]

Per usual, science is terrifying and we’re all going to die. However, supposedly we’ll find love in the middle of [instert crisis here]? It’s a little unclear. Courtesy of the optimistic(?)
