BwogWeather was hungry this week. Special thanks to Arvin Ahmadi, AJ Garcia, Wilma, Columbia Dining Services, Victoria Dunn, Aaron Gomes, and congratulations to our new BwogWeather intern, Pauline Baudon.  

In a letter to SEAS students tonight, ESC President Chris Elizondo announced tonight that John Jay Dining Hall will most likely open again on Fridays and Saturdays by next semester. In the email, Elizondo writes that ESC and CCSC passed a resolution collaboratively asking Dining Services to open John Jay on the weekends. If John […]

Tipster Danielle Benson sent us a photo of this sign, found in the John Jay elevator. Apparently, certain elevator patrons have been removing light bulbs from the ceiling and smashing them on the ground. Clearly, the John Jay community is now speaking out against this gross violation of elevator etiquette. If smashing light bulbs was […]

Hundreds of freshmen are stranded outside of John Jay tonight due to a fire-related incident. Multiple people Bwog talked to indicate that they saw smoke coming out of trash chutes and saw smoke in the hallways, even on the highest floors. A popular theory amongst the stranded is that someone threw something flammable or ignited […]

Grant D’Avino reports! Last night’s CCSC meeting opened with introductions, as it was the first meeting that included representatives and officers from the class of 2014. Along with his or her name and position in CCSC, each person was asked to share an adjective that described him or herself at the present. Bwog’s favorites, in […]

A tipster informs us that this burnt cup of noodles was the cause of the early morning fire alarm in John Jay. The moral of the story? Be careful, kids. Bwog loves you and just doesn’t want anything bad to happen to you. Photo by Mahima Chablani

Freshpeople: you’re learning. Found on Carman 8 by Conor Skelding. This has happened before.

Behold your dorm room. It’s—It’s—It’s—nice?? Don’t be too disappointed. You’ll stain it too and make it your own. (Fun fact: JJ11 has a tainted legacy. One past resident drunkenly shat on the floor.) Anywho, college may be your first time living on your own, so you probably have some questions. We’re here to help. In […]

UPDATE: More fun foods, like the Turkey Shollen Burger! And a big sign for the Varsity Show! But that never keeps Dining Services from trying to make their food seem more palatable.  Tonight’s theme is, uh, “Columbia”? Photos by Anonymous Tipster, DBH, & CCS

Full disclosure: Your correspondent, Carolyn Ruvkun, lives on John Jay 11. Though she did not participate in the project described below, she is inclined to defend her floor mates and their shenanigans. On Sunday afternoon, a few badass residents of John Jay decided to construct a string-and-cup telephone between rooms on opposites sides of the […]

It was a bright cold day in April, and the…Print Center signs were making passive-aggressive threats about the future of John Jay patio dining?!  Apparently, students have been abusing “silver wear” privileges in the last few days, and this almost-firm directive asks that they kindly stop, lest they lose all they hold dear–namely, the privilege […]

Two members of a massive high school tour group check out John Jay Dining Hall: CU Hopeful 1: “No trays.” CU Hopeful 2: “What the hell?!” Class of 2016…you think you know, but you have no idea.

Bwog’s recently published etiquette guide included the suggestion “people getting take out should take utensils, straws, and mints at the beginning” in order to alleviate some of the cluttered mayhem that is the swipe-in line at John Jay. Lo and behold, a day later, the very same mints have been moved outside the line. Coincidence…?

For some first-years, John Jay takeout is the saving grace of our humble dining hall. It gives students the option of eating in the comfort of their own dorms, on the Steps, or at any other location where it’s acceptable to eat alone. However, as convenient and useful as this service may be, there are […]
