A late night diary entry. A stream of consciousness musing at 5 am.  Dear Bwog, It’s been another long week and a short weekend. Saturday’s gone, and Sunday’s sunrise is near us. I meant to go to bed a lot earlier tonight, but that didn’t happen. I slept 14 hours last Saturday; I wish I could […]

Hewitt’s B rating is just a way to hide from the CC boys that they have better scrambled eggs than John Jay and better avocado toasts (on Tuesdays) than Ferris. That is all. Hewitt’s secret via Bwog Archives

Commas and periods always go inside double quotation marks in American English except in the case of a parenthetical citation. Columbia University is in the United States of America. But what is this? A comma outside of a quotation mark? Shall we take another look?  You can find this here. Even though I linked four different […]

People care about public spaces, and maybe nowhere as much as in New York. Columbia’s most prominent public space, and definitely its most photographed, is the Low Steps. Where other universities might have wide open spaces and vast lawns, Columbia students perch, like the characters of Gossip Girl on the steps of the Met, on a cold stone […]

If you have a Twitter account, you’ve probably seen your fair share of funny bot accounts. One of them keeps track of how far through the year we are (80% through 2017, as of today!) while another tweets every color. We here at Bwog were tired of automation not yet taking our jobs, and so we… uh… repurposed […]

Tonight, we want to wish a very happy birthday to our Bagel-in-Chief, Amara Banks. Despite what the bouncers at 1020 may think, she’s now 20! Whether she’s sporting the dog filter, haunting the halls of Butler, or throwing bits of (actual) bagels at us, she’ll always be our beloved Bagel. Happy birthday, Amara!

Ricky Wolff is a second semester senior and newly minted (LateNite) Bwog guest writer who recently gave up trying to find an internship. Nevertheless, we all must push on. Ambling past the familiar Tom’s facade, the author noticed peculiar logos plastered on the oft-photographed windows, and fashionable young people occupying the booths usually reserved for hollow-cheeked math majors […]

A few days ago, we received a lengthy tip from a “Randall Owen” allegedly detailing the planning and culmination of a large scale prank on an ignorant EC suite. One of the members of the suite, after his roommate graduated this past semester, conspired with his RA and his impending roommate to create “Randall” under the pretense that […]

Have you ever wondered how you can take control of your local сове́т—err, student council, rather? Do you ever pay attention to your college’s elected council members and think “This is ridiculous, I could do that under budget and ahead of schedule!”? Well, over years of acquiring and consolidating information about Columbia’s political arena, we’ve acquired […]

When you saw this, you probably wondered “What are ‘Dante’s Laurels?” And if you’re SEAS or Barnard, you probably just analyzed that vague name “Dante”. And just to lap the entire Columbia circle, if you’re GS, you’re probably analgesic over us kids talking naughtily about your old Patroclean buddy. Regardless, during stressful times like these it’s often easy to forget that Columbia […]

From time to time, we like to arrange the various elements of Columbia life into a ranking of sorts, dividing the good from the bad, and the beautiful from the unseemly. In the light of Delta Gamma’s latest successful iteration of their philanthropic Anchor Splash, we felt it necessary to rank the public showcases contained in the […]

The eighth floor of Butler is most commonly viewed among Columbia’s undergraduate population as Butler’s wasteland—private graduate student carrels line the hall like sepulchers, screaming uniformity and academic browbeating. But while the finer advantages of Butler 8 may not include earning precious Butler social capital, precocious grad students—and perhaps some adventurous undergraduates—voice their frustration by inscribing marginalia upon the padded carrel […]

Sure, when you didn’t fill out your course evals earlier tonight, we thought you were at 1020 and just couldn’t do it. Even at 3 AM, we thought, hey, maybe they’re still out trying to have a fun night, who are we to remind them about something so extraneous but simple. But it’s 5 AM […]
