Bwog is many things: slightly awkward, obsessed with squirrels, extremely opinionated, and a little too reliant on puns for humor. But there’s one thing that (maybe?) ties those things together: Bwog loves you and wants you to be happy. To demonstrate this in a tangible way (that’s not a hashtag), we’re hoping to make your […]

In keeping with our finals tradition of reviewing possibly superfluous things like chairs,  cafes, and lecture halls, we bring to you some #Finals2013 library room reviews. Because, let’s face it, you want to know as much as possible about the places in which you’ll be spending the next nine days straight. What better way to […]

Finals are just around the corner, and Butler is already crowded with people getting ready. Those poor miserable souls seemed only to have work, but we knew there was more, we wanted to know what kept them going. We asked, “What’s your finals coping mechanism?” here are some of the answers we got. Quiet librarian: […]

Last night, Bwog procrastinated from its various papers by conducting another Bwog Asked on unsuspecting library-goers, this time asking the ambiguously ominous question, “What keeps you up at night?” Here’s a sampling of some of our results, along with an unexpectedly detailed conversation about grease. Boy constructing cheatsheet in 210: Wet dreams. Get it? 209 […]

Celebrate the end of your LitHum/CC/all of the finals with the return of happiness, a.k.a a bunch of really sweet dogs hanging out in your dorms.

Here in the darkness of finals, not one, but two time-honored procrastinatory activities are available for you tonight. You can either catch Orgo Night for politically incorrect jokes in Butler, or nourish your all-nighter at Barnard’s Midnight Breakfast — the theme this year is Electric Breakfast, which means that you have to do the electric […]

Columbia has a wealth of libraries, abandoned classrooms, dorm rooms, and various corners in which to study for finals. But after the 5th day in a row wandering around Butler for 45 minutes trying to find a seat, even the most impressive library can get a little dull. Sometimes you need to practice your liberal-arts-hipster-cafe-typing […]

PSA: If you’re one of the poor souls still trudging on through the deep abyss of exams, please try to make it to your bed tonight—in part for your mental/physical health, but primarily ’cause Bwog finished last night, and we don’t want to have to post another series of these!

In light of the fact that your CC final is tomorrow, and you’ve decided to take up a new television show been studying rigorously for the past three days, here is another reminder that you’re screwed prepared.
