Bwog is all about faux matrimonies, especially ones that take place in the sandbox, but Low will certainly do. This year’s Hangama celebration, the mock Pakistani wedding hosted by Columbia’s Organization of Pakistani Students and NYU’s Pakistani Students Association, was sure to please. The groom from NYU sweeping in on horseback to meet his beautiful Columbian bride, Amirah […]

Instead of ogling at the overpriced cheese at the Farmer’s Market, CU OPS, NYU PSA, and AHIMSA have a better idea for you.

Deantini is getting in on Random Acts of Kindness Week by setting out a lot of free pizza in all first-year dorms (and some selected upperclassman dorms). Go get some. It’s good, and there are no strings attached. Crust is fluffy, cheese is tasty. Only gripe is, there is too little sauce.

Perhaps inspired by SWP’s Random Acts of Kindness week, Ben & Jerry’s wants to make your day happier as well. Brave the bend in Broadway to hit the 104th street ice cream location for Free Cone Day! It’s a great and almost guilt-free way to sweeten a particularly sour housing appointment time. If you’re still […]
