With the new semester upon us, Bwog takes a look back at winter break. No one seems to be happy on this rainy first day of classes, so we’ve decided to cheer you up! Winter Break was long overdue, but with break came its own challenges: Bwog gives you the rundown on what happened on our […]

It’s our final Field Notes of the season, and boy are we tired. Seriously. As we all get ready for the home stretch, we’re either getting way too much or way too little when it comes to catching Z’s. Here’s what happened on our wild weekends – as always, submit your own for the next […]

With the last day of classes finally here, it is a time for reflection on the good, the bad and the bizarre here at Columbia. Bwog shares some of those recent moments as we all gear up for a finals season no one is prepared for and Reading Days no one actually uses.  Respect the process: […]

Isn’t early December just the greatest? Thanksgiving sweeps you off your feet, feeds you, pampers you, and unceremoniously drops you back into reality. You’re left disoriented in the calm before the storm – the ultimate finals storm. It’s not like you’re actually doing your finals, but you will be very soon, and it’s almost as if sitting with […]

Being that spooky and sexy are positively correlated, things only heated up this weekend as we approach our favorite holiday of the year. While we weren’t exactly down to drown our books in the Hudson and livers in 1020, we get closer with every passing week… Body Spent a significant amount of money at Comic Con […]

September is almost gone, and while we want to be done with school, we’re just getting started with fall! We can’t wait to itch in our flannels at our losing homecoming game and slowly never leave our rooms until April. This weekend was a great way to kick that off…  Poppin’ Off Went out with straight […]

After the first week of classes, Columbia students did not let us down by having a weekend full of bad decisions, regrets, and first years drinking bad alcohol. We bring you the tales of this weekend’s degeneracy for your reflection as you weep in Butler on a Monday night. If you have any notes from […]

It’s August, the most melancholy month—the one in which you mourn the coming of September, start comparison-shopping laptops, and draft angst-ridden goodbye emails to your boss (“I’m good for more than data entry!”). If you feel a tinge of panic at not having done anything (besides achieving oneness with your couch), well, that’s justified. You […]

We thought last week’s field notes would be the last of the semester … We were wrong. We’re still here, we’re still suffering, and despite the fact that we should’ve spent all of last weekend in Butler, we’re still doing cool shit (or dumb shit, depending on your perspective.) Trying To Do The “Responsible” Thing: […]

Not only is today the last day of classes, it also marks the last field notes post of the semester. Or maybe even the last field notes post ever? Who can say. We here at Bwog are ready for the world to spiral into the hot, fiery embrace of the inferno or cold, dark embrace of […]

This weekend was Passover – that historic, monumental holiday when you tell your professor you’re Jewish in order to get out of your Friday class. Some of us celebrated Passover, but some of us just kind-of … passed over it. (The end of the semester honestly can’t come soon enough.) Passed Over: Went to visit […]

Trash: New York City is full of it, Columbia is full of it, and Bwog is also, probably, full of it. (At least, that seems to be the opinion of many of our commenters recently.) And now that the weather is nice enough to actually venture outside for more than the five minutes it takes […]

There are only a couple of weeks left in the semester, and that can mean only one thing: we’re starting to give up. CC reading? Haven’t done it yet. Physics problem set? Barely started. Polisci paper? Thought about it. A little. These days, we’re prioritizing the truly important parts of college life: getting lit and […]

We thought we were done. We thought we’d escaped the hellhole of Columbia for a week and returned, ready to face the rest of the semester head-on. But alas, too soon after our arrival, new demons attacked with a vengeance: we’ve got midterms next week. Why, Columbia, is it always midterms? Why? Midterms? What Midterms? Ate […]

Not only is spring break over, spring is actually broken. We’re pretty sure it was snowing a little this morning. Why must you do this to us, NYC weather? Haven’t we been punished enough? Did we break spring break, or did spring break break us? We just don’t know. Broke Spring Break: Performed at Carnegie Hall. […]
