This weekend is full of lasts: last day of NSOP, last day of summer, last day to wear white. While the weather and freedoms of summer are slowly stripped from your reach, you have new beginnings to look forward to: eating pasta at Ferris, tripping on college walk, and climbing those damn hamilton stairs. Today is your […]

NSOP is the perfect time to get settled in your new neighborhood, which includes finding your favorite dealer. Deciding who to pick up from can be easy: Birth control? Duane Reade. Grapes? Westside Market. But for other drugs, like caffeine, the choice can be much more complex. During your time at Columbia, you will develop […]

Today is the fifth-going-on-fiftieth day of NSOP, and while your mandatory events and forced friendships seem to be killing you softly, don’t give up hope! Use this time to familiarize yourself with your campus, your peers, and your uni (seriously, memorize that ASAP). Other don’ts for the fifth day of NSOP: hook up with a floor-mate, visit home, use all […]

Bwog continues its Houses and Homes series with Amara’s family vacation to Hawaii. If you, too, would rather write out the details of your summer surroundings rather than force yourself to engage in conversations about your future, snap a pic and send your five senses to tips@bwog.com! Where: Maui, Hawaii Sight: Smell: Tourists always smell like […]

We’ve heard through the grapevine (ahem…tips@bwog.com) that shit is getting (and we quote) “messy” in the Class of 2020 Facebook group now that housing assignments have been released. Hopefully this piece will soothe your worries a little bit, first-years, or at least make you realize that who your freshman year roommate is won’t really matter in […]

Our next senior wisdom is brought to you by the person who probably turned down your terrible Op-Ed idea you sent to Spec—Mikhail Klimentov! Name, School, Major, Hometown: Hello! My name is Mikhail Klimentov, and I’m a senior in Columbia College majoring in political science with concentrations in visual arts and computer science. I’m writing to […]

Our Senior Wisdom installation for the Class of 2016 wouldn’t be complete without a little wisdom from Barnard Babe and NSOP Queen Christina Ellsberg, who tells us about how you should get through your four years at Columbia. Name, School, Major, Hometown: Christina Ellsberg, Barnard, Anthropology, Historic Ossining Claim to fame: I’d like to say […]

Today is Make Some Noise, a spring concert thrown by Summer on the Hudson and Barnard. The event celebrates women in music with an all-female line up of students from CU, City College, and NYU. Head over to Crabapple Grove North in Riverside Park (located approximately off of 94th street) to get enjoy the show. While it is […]

Career development has been pretty fishy lately… with weird jobs posted on Nacelink, and the office’s awkward location on Claremont, one of our Staff Writers was pushed past her limit with her most recent experiences, described below.  I visited the Barnard Office of Career Development for the first time last week, when it suddenly hit […]

Today is Saturday, your break from a long week of sneaking fragrant Spaghetti Meatball HamDel sandwiches in Ref Room. Go outside and enjoy the weather! It’s not supposed to rain today; instead, the humidity will be at 93% without a chance of any sunshine all day.  Bwogline: KFC has officially launched its campaign for edible fingernail polish […]

The first day of finals are tomorrow, which means we have a gift for you tonight. It’s not a Sweetgreen discount code, nor is it our roommate’s adderall. Instead we give you this semester’s Orgo Night script (even better than the Orgo exam answer key). Laugh, share with friends, and don’t forget to be offended. Enjoy! […]

CULPA is your friend who has taken every class with every professor and can tell you how much of the reading you actually have to do, if the professor’s voice will put you to sleep, whether the class is worth taking, ect. Usually the site gets the most traffic at the end of each semester during course selection, […]
