We tend to see upperclassmen – whether friends, acquaintances, or those we admire from afar – as having all the answers. Sure, seniors have a lot to say, and some of it might actually hold some truth. After all, they have made it through almost four years here at Columbia, and we can assume that […]

Ever since a certain CC student went to Hewitt for the first time, Bwog staff has been debating the campus salad bars. The aforementioned CC senior ardently declared that Hewitt’s vegetables are, in fact, the best, while a Barnard student shot back that Ferris has a far superior vegetable selection. Apparently school affiliation had no […]

Real Women, Real Voices provides female prisoners and their affected families with a forum to humanize incarcerated people and the issues they face. Yesterday, an event was held at the Columbia Law School where several women spoke on their experiences. When grouped with clouds, rain, and chilling temperatures, midterms can easily rob students of the […]

Ever had the urge to mercilessly roast the Columbia community? Have big dreams of one day achieving a level of self-deprecating humor comparable to ours at Bwog? Did you read Aziz Ansari’s new book and think “psh. I can write better jokes than this clown” (keep dreaming, kiddo)? Swing by the 122nd Annual Varsity Show […]

It’s a Monday afternoon. Bwog is advertising for club meetings other than their own on a day other than Sunday. We want to show our once-mother publication some love, and we welcome you to show it some love as well at their final Spring 2015 meeting tonight at 9 pm in the crypt of St. Paul’s Chapel. Though it’s […]

Yesterday the Baltimore Orioles and the Chicago White Sox played for an empty stadium. The current riots in Baltimore lead to the closure of the park to the public. The players were left to play in an incredibly somber environment. The Orioles prevailed for their city winning 8-2. (Bleacher Report) Uber is suing the city […]

As the entitled undergraduates that we are, we might think that valuable wisdom rests only in the hands of our fellow classmates. They’ve successfully wafted through their time here at Columbia, they understand what it’s like to be the small species in the big university kingdom, and we one day hope to be as cool […]

Hillary finally hit the campaign trail on Monday! Like any normal human being she got hungry and obviously wanted Chipotle (a woman after our own heart). It is reported that not a single person in the Ohio Chipotle recognized her. Bwog could probably spot Hillary from a mile away… (CNN) Paula Deen, after a run in with racism and diabetes, […]

Unbreakable Kimmy Shmidt unfortunately broke someone . Dermatologist Fredric Brandt, who is portrayed in the show, was found dead in his home on Monday due to an apparent suicide. (NBC) Badass Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s biography is anticipated to be equally as badass. The title, Notorious RBG, speaks for itself. The book is to be released in October. We suggest […]

On Wednesday, Governor Jerry Brown (finally) imposed mandatory water restrictions in California. Brown mandated that each town is to reduce its water usage by 25%. This historical drought has left the Northern Sierra mountain range’s snowpack, the main water source for the state of California, at an all time low of 16% of its average amount. No more […]

Yesterday Kraft and Heinz merged to make the mega Kraft Heinz Company. Together the company’s sales will be upward of $28 billion. The deal is projected to close in the second half of 2015. The real question is, will they be selling ketchup flavored mac and cheese now? (CNN) Uber recently announced that they would […]

We’re back for a new year, another semester, brand new classes and another (or a final) chance to make Dean’s List. From today on, your professors will be welcoming you to class with bad puns (or good ones), aggressive political statements and philosophical musings. But that’s only a sample. It’s up to you to send […]

It’s the first day of classes, and you know what that means… another year, another set of professors trying to trick you into not dropping their class. For the next few days, all professors are legally obligated to pepper their lectures and discussion comments with droll jokes, sage advice, and complete non sequiturs. They may do it to […]

Rather than running for office, it seems many former Obama aides are going into consulting… Looks like the President uses CCE too much. (NYT) In light of the recent events around “Heartbleed,” the President has failed to call for full disclosure on security exploits made available to various Executive Agencies.  (Wikipedia, Al-Jazeera America) James Franco […]

Tipster Ron G. sends us these screenshots from the latest episode of Futurama. The school has everything from iconic gates… …to red-brick, neoclassical buildings and the Van Am tholos … …to cheap tuition. But Columbia(c) is not the first university to be featured on Futurama. A few weeks ago, an episode set in the sewers […]
