It’s almost over! Breathe in deep, pant between pushes, and you’ll be done before you know it. For those of you who are already done with finals: we hate you. Don’t talk to us. Please get into your big blue bin and roll down Broadway. To the rest of you: stay strong.  Bwogline: It could be worse! […]

We’re at the height of finals, friends. The beginning is far behind us, and the end is not yet in sight. Our rooms are swamped with notes and trash, and we dread the day we must pack up and leave. Butler is swamped with notes and trash, and we anticipate the day we must pack up […]

It’s Monday – technically day two of finals, even though it feels like we’ve been doing this for years. No matter how much you studied this past weekend, you probably didn’t do as much as you wanted to. But you know what? That’s fine. You’ll kill it anyway. (And if you don’t, you’ll still be […]

Finals season–fun, or focus? What is it really about? We’d lean towards the former. You can study, and still have a lot of fun, too. Even if you aren’t winning the Kentucky Derby like this horse, you can *win* at finals season with our gnarly study tips below. Bwogline: A horse named Nyquist (Nyquil? no) […]

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 […]

At Columbia University, it can often seem as though everyone around you is killing it… and you’re… well… not. But most of the time, that’s all in your head! You just have to stay motivated. After all, in a week, this will all be over. Yikes, that sounded ominous, we just meant finals. Or did […]

Day three of Reading Week, and the livin’ is easy. Just joking, we’re all dying. Just remember: your week isn’t going as badly as Ted Cruz’s is! And you don’t even have to kill all those people–being the Zodiac Killer must be hard work… Bwogline: If you haven’t been listening to Beyonce’s Lemonade on repeat this entire […]

It’s Day 2 of Reading Week! We know you probably don’t believe in yourself but that’s okay, because we have enough faith in you to power Butler for an entire week. Get out of bed, go to that study group, write 6 pages of your paper, and smash that mf final! Alternatively, listen to mopey […]

It’s finally finals season, a time of reckoning, a time to weep, and a time to laugh, a time to mourn, and a time to dance, a time to—well, you get the idea. It’s not great, by any means, and if you’re anything like us, each of your six professors expects 30% of your total time and […]

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). […]

Finals are almost over. Your ability to sit in a library for hours on end is running low. You’re starting to wonder if this is really your life, or some kind of hellish vision that your brain concocted during your freshman year of high school and has been punishing you with ever since. But don’t […]

Yes, we know, it’s Monday. And not just any Monday – the Monday of finals week. To get through this trying time, you’re going to need courage, perseverance, and the kind of ridiculously positive attitude that will make all the cartoon villains resent you. Unfortunately, Bwog can’t give you an epic training montage, but we can […]

Oh, the beauties of Sunday morning. Whether you prefer Maroon 5 or Velvet Underground, there’s No Doubt about it: Sunday mornings are the best. Although, if you’re in the majority and still have more finals looming overhead, it probably doesn’t feel like the best morning. But you can do it! Only three more days (at most) before […]

We made it to the weekend! We’ve left the worst behind! Rejoice! Oh… what’s that? You still have your hardest final to go, and it’s on Monday? You poor soul. Well, don’t you fret – as usual, Bwog in Bed has your back.  Bwogline: Finals week – what a time to hate America! A recent poll found […]

Tonight, you can see the most anticipated movie of the decade. “Can see” – but you won’t. Have a happy first day of finals. Bwogline: Probably something important is happening in US politics, or world politics, but that’s not important – Star Wars is. Star Wars. Star Wars. Star Wars. You know what people love more than […]
