We are so very, truly thankful to you for reading this website and for lots of other things. Randos PDF versions of textbooks […]

Bwog is meeting at 7 p.m. in the SGO on the 5th floor of Lerner Hall tonight. If the result would be a goodness-maximizing outcome for you and/or the whole of humanity, Mr. Mill would likely have you come. Also come if you like snacks. Photo via Wikimedia Commons

Bwog’s Dad jokes that he married Bwog’s Mom because she had memorized the entire lineup of the ’69 Mets . If only that were still something to be proud of…

Like Shakespeare and Sarah Palin, college students enjoy making up new words. HuffPo (that’s Huffington Post to you students who, er, haven’t read this article yet) recently did a piece on the language college students speak at schools that… aren’t Columbia, apparently. Here is Bwog’s comprehensive A-Z lexicon of all the words and phrases you will […]

Let’s do this. OK, there were controversies: The Study Days Debacle, the Meal Plan Shitshow, the McBain Conflagration ’10, Gender Neutral (Open) Housing, another possible SSN breach, the gross things living in Pinnacle; there were new friends: the Vag, coyotes, Sarkozy, falafel (everywhere!), a new beau for Hawkma; there was an insane snowball fight, a […]

And now for our final installment (phew!) of Senior Wisdom, we present to you our dearly near-departed Bwog and Blue & White seniors: Bwog and B&W editor emerita Juli Weiner and Bwog Editor emeritus James Downie, B&W managing editor and former daily editor Alexandra M., Hawkmadinejad editor Courtney D., and B&W senior editor Menachem Kaiser.

We’ve been reading the comments, and counting the thumbs down. You’re stressed.  We understand. And we want to help. Today, starting at 4 PM outside Butler, Bwog will inaugurate its Bitch Box. The internet is a great place to complain, but bitching in real life is much more satisfying…especially when there’s free comfort food. Butler […]

Whether you love them or hate them, a lot of juicy news comes out of the student council groups on campus. For that reason, Bwog is looking for a new CCSC correspondent.  Duties would include attending weekly CCSC meetings on Sunday nights, keeping contact with council members, and chasing down potential stories.  We wouldn’t even […]

Congratulations, you’ve survived the first week.  Take a well-deserved break and join this humble publication Sunday at 6:00 PM in the SGO (Lerner 5) for our first meeting of the year.  We’re looking for people willing to write, interview, take photos, and generally poke fun at Columbia life.  No experience necessary; bring only a quick […]

The Barnard website is getting a makeover, but it seems like it’s going to take a while. On Thursday, Barnard students received an email from Scott DiPerna, Director of Electronic Communications (?!), announcing the plan for an overhaul of Barnard.edu and introducing a Barnard Website blog that will keep whoever’s actually interested up-to-date about the […]

It’s New Year’s Eve! But before you go popping the champagne corks, strap in for an announcement and a look back at the last semester of the Aughties/Naughties/Zeroes. First, starting tomorrow, former daily editor and current magazine senior editor Eliza Shapiro, CC ’12, will be taking over as Bwog editor; joining her as deputy will […]

Dear readers, With the end of the exam period and the holiday season, Bwog is officially moving into winter break mode. Stick around, though: we’ll be updating the blog, of course, and announcing next year’s editorial staff in a few days. More importantly, we want to thank our readers for another successful semester. Students often […]

The staff of the Blue and White kindly requests the pleasure of your company at tonight’s meeting at 9:30 PM in the basement of St. Paul’s chapel. This very well could be the last Blue and White meeting of the decade, depending on how things are looking next week. So! Please come if you are […]

Bwog will be slowing down for Thanksgiving break–even cynics like us are spending time with family. As per tradition, we present a list of everything Bwog staffers are thankful for.  Thank you for reading and enjoy this break! For when we can’t get mom’s cooking… 25-cent coffee in the German department Acquiring a taste for […]
