Fresh off the heels of beloved restaurant Amigos, yet another MoHi familiar face is closing down soon. This time, it’s Rite-Aid on 110th – an institution that for years has provided us with well-priced prescription medicines, bars of soap, and friendly, sassy staff workers. We hope that these memories, shared by friends, students, and alums alike, will help […]

Having gotten such a great response to our previous Myers-Briggs personality type article, we decided to take on a more universal experience of students everywhere – putting up angry signs in the dorm bathroom, when your fellow hallmates have terrible bathroom etiquette.

President Aida Lu After her meeting with Scott Wright, Facilities’ VP […]

JJ’s sauces – they make or break a JJ’s meal, don’t get the credit they deserve, and also have a lot more personality than the majority of guys I’ve met on campus. Being the avid psycho-analyzer that I am, I decided to cast the JJ’s sauces as their perfect Myers-Briggs personality representations. Here’s what I came […]

Damn! We here at Bwog, with your best interests in mind, implore you to forsake this god-forsaken coat and instead spend that $900 on these following things: 300 […]

Recently, this unfortunate Bwogger enrolled in a class that meets Mondays and Wednesdays on the seventh floor of Hamilton Hall. After constantly forgoing the 20-minute elevator wait in favor of hiking up all six flights of stairs instead, she realized that the seven floors of Hamilton are perhaps best encapsulated by the seven stages of grief. […]

I’m pretty sure it was Plato who once said, “bitches love elevated surfaces” (or something like that). The phrase rings true for a reason: at a crowded party, elevated surfaces provide a vantage point, a spotlight, and most importantly, space to breathe. Because elevated surfaces are a hot commodity that’s sometimes hard to come by at parties, […]

Bwogline: Trump officials have banned CDC officials from using a list of seven words, including “transgender” and “fetus,” in official documents for next year’s budget. (WaPo) Study tip: If you find yourself getting bored with your usual spot in Butler, change up where you’re studying! Cognitive scientists have found that studying in different settings helps memory recall. Bwog has handy lists […]

While the study breaks during reading week are incredibly helpful and supportive, at times they can look similar – many of them featuring some classic variation of cookies and hot chocolate.
