This is just one of the first in what Bwog assumes will be a veritable onslaught of Halloweenish events.  We’ll keep you posted. Bacchanal is hosting an event on the steps today, some sort of crazy Halloween/study break mashup entitled “A Ghoulish Day on the Steps” today from 3:00PM – 7:00PM. The free highlights include: […]

From the “Not Again” Department: Bored@Butler has internal competition. For those of you holed up in Purgatory Butler last week for midterms, Bwog’d bet that you saved a tab in your browser for Bored@Butler (boredatbutler.com).  The site is an anonymous message board for Columbia students stuck in the library to post their thoughts. According to […]

The trek to the Gottesman Library at Teacher’s College was arduous, and TC itself a seemingly impenetrable maze.  Initially arriving at the wrong entrance, Bwog stood for several moments at an automatic door that refused to open. The bells at Riverside Church chimed ominously. Bwog eventually sheepishly located the entrance to the building, perhaps 15 […]

Procrastination doesn’t have to mean venturing far.  Lectures, laughs, and lame ledes, all on campus. Sunday Photo Scavenger Hunt: Run around campus with photography nerds and try to take the most super-awesomest pictures to win an unspecified prize!  4:00 PM. Monday Elections and the US Media: An international panel of journalists discusses the coverage of […]

Midterms are here and procrastination season is in full swing, so Bwog wants to help you make the most (make the least?) of your wasted time. We’ve created a bingo game for everyone studying in Butler to play. The game board is filled with 25 of Butler’s most common annoyances and quirks around exam season. Everyone is eligible—simply […]

In lieu of a typical Guide to the Weekend, Bwog has decided to poll its listservs and aggregate a more helpful list of activities. The following are answers to the question “What do you do to procrastinate?” We hope you’ll try out one or two (or nine) of our ideas and use the comment thread […]

Yesterday, Daily Editor Pierce Stanley decided to sacrifice a day’s work on a ten page paper in order to bring you this report on yesterday’s academic affairs. He hopes you, and a sympathetic professor, will appreciate his efforts. While most Columbia students were holed up all day in Butler yesterday in preparation for exams, academic […]

It’s a rainy Saturday and, yes, it would be prudent to spend the day in Bulter, but don’t you deserve a break? (Bwog thinks you do.) And there’s really no better way to relax and pass a dreary Saturday than with a couple feel-good flicks.  Here, Bwog has compiled a smattering of movies that will […]

Need a study break? Put down the text and feast your eyes on these Saturday morning classics. It’s Saturday morning and if you want a slow start to your day, you’ve come to the right web address.   Today on Bwog, we do a tribute to our Technicolor friends of yesteryear. Yes that’s right – today […]

Looks like they’ve been hitting the chemicals a little too hard recently.     Plus, orgo prof tenure battle of the century!

B&W Literary Editor Hannah Goldfield had a free ticket to I Am Legend a couple nights ago, and recommends the experience. You need a break. Seriously, there’s only so much information your brain can absorb in a day, only so many sentences it can formulate (or so I like to tell myself), and giving it […]

In which Bwog contributor CML breaks down Facebook’s flashy new features, for those of us too scared to log on since they arrived on the feed. While my brain has languished thousands of miles away from Columbia, Mark Zuckerberg and his henchmen have been busy, busy bees.  Over the past two weeks, I’ve watched assiduously […]

Bwog has been procrastinating! (Is that redundant?) We even made a list of how we recommend you procrastinate, to which you shall contribute. Open thread time! – Make Bwog posts – Send in tips to Bwog – Watch episodes of South Park – Go to the horsey ride track in Nassau County and be hit on […]

Julia Kite, an urban studies major (?), sent this one in to give SEAS students and science majors one last thrill before midterms. Bwog thinks SEAS guys and gals are probably too jaded to enjoy this, but if you’re not at least one iota thrilled (or made slightly nauseated) by this, there’s probably something wrong […]

Aah, reading week–that grey area between class and finals, when you know you should be studying but really probably aren’t.  Looking for ways to pep it up?  Bwog is here, in the form of a Seth Flaxman e-mail, to help. 1. Watch movies! (Prep for Sundance) According to the Columbia University homepage, An unprecedented five […]
