We’re all trying to get back in the swing of things for the new semester, especially waking up at the buttcrack of dawn for that 8:40 lecture. While the go-to energy source is the ever-reliable black gold, coffee, some purists would prefer to avoid caffeine induced seizures. If you’re one of those types, Bwog is here […]

In this cross between AskBwog and BwogSex, we advise Edward what to do when Bella says “Jacob” in her sleep take a deep look into the psyche.  Send your questions (and stories!) to sex@bwog.com. Hey Bwog, Is it a big deal if my boyfriend said his ex-girlfriend’s name while he was asleep? Yours confusedly, I’m […]

Dear Bwog, I was casually walking around naked in my girlfriend’s Shafted Woodbridge duplex post-coitus when I heard giggles. Two girls from across the shaft caught me snacking naked in the kitchen. Shafted (and in so many ways!), I now turn to you for advice: how should I handle this situation? — Buttler Dear Buttler, […]

In the latest edition of AskBwog, we tackle a local mystery for the ages and expose the secrets behind the woman who has captured our hearts and stomachs: Westside’s Maria of assorted dips and snacks fame. You may not be able to handle the truth.  Dear Bwog, Who is this woman that I have given […]

It’s that time of year again, when Columbia students choose their classes, make new friends, and get hot and bothered when Professor Sexy Time bends over to pick up the chalk. Despite all the TAs, professors, and guest lecturers who look like the soles of Michael Phelps’ feet, there are still countless babes-with-brains teaching on […]

A fearful tipster spotted this truck outside of John Jay with the words “From Food to Fuel” stamped on its side. Intrigued, we couldn’t help but wonder: is this what happens to dining hall leftovers once they’re beyond being recycled as pizza toppings? We thought that was just a Simpsons plotline… We did some heavy Googling […]

In AskBwog, we tackle hard hitting issues facing American teens today. Dear Bwog editors, Class registration for Fall 2012 is fast-approaching (scary!), and I need to take a global core class. I’m writing you for help picking a class, and also because I’m sure many other CC students would appreciate Bwog’s input as well. I […]

Drama over Obamanard aside, the president of the United States coming to speak at Barnard is a BFD.  All of his carefully considered appearances are under extreme scrutiny, especially in an election year.  Thus his decision (as DSpar explained, he requested to speak and was not asked) to speak at any college had to have involved […]

Bwog recently received this email from someone who may or may not have been sober, and our interest (and appetite) was piqued. Dear Bwog, I feel like doing something crazy this weekend. Are there any places where, if I manage to eat a crazy amount of food, I get my picture on a wall or […]

Bwog fell asleep at 8pm on Thanksgiving (and last night….oops), and was determined to find out why. Assuming those after-meal droopy eyes had something to do with science (the idea of a god of food comas was dismissed after much discussion), we set Bwogsleuth Zach Kagan on the trail. Here he presents a roundup of […]

The Day of Judgment has come. Weep ye College undergrads for major declaration. For those deciding now how to spend a good chunk of their remaining years at Columbia, or for those reminiscing on that major they declared long ago and now regret (or have not really even nearly kind of sort of completed and […]

If you’re like us, you’ve spent hours of valuable registration appointment time agonizing over whether to take a class with a visiting associate professor or an adjunct assistant.  What do these titles actually mean?  Bwog’s expert on esoteric distinctions, Jon Edelman, breaks it down. According to the faculty handbook, there are twenty-three possible titles for […]

Bwog has been operating under the commonly-held assumption that Core Professors have to petition with the Core office to give you anything under a B-. This, to us and scores of friends, was common knowledge. Um, guess we have to get on our shit. From: Sarah Camiscoli Sent: Wednesday, April 21, 2010 10:11 AM To: […]

You’ve tipped us about it for years, and we’ve sort of snickered about it since the dawn of Bwog. So we finally decided to investigate. Why is there a prominently located lactation room in Carman? Are there more? Is this a joke? You have questions, Jon Edelman has answers. It’s not so much the idea […]

One day, in a fit of rage, John McCain sarcastically asked how many times a person can graduate from Columbia. Mr. McCain may have had a point. Bwog stopped and asked: Wait, how many times can someone graduate? Matriculation Guru Derek Huang tries to answer this question by documenting one hypothetical student’s quest to earn […]
