The hole that was Barnard’s library is entering a new, equally noisy phase of construction, which of course calls for a celebration. TLC Rising (which is the name of the party, not a Marvel sequel or plan to revive a tired television network) will take place today from 11-1:30 at either the hole itself or in the […]

Fall break is finally here! As much as we would love to hang around and report on Schapiro fires and Prezbo sightings, we’ve got a country to watch crash and burn on Tuesday. Instead of refreshing our site, feel free to write Spec op-eds. Don’t worry if you’ve already graduated, it’s really not weird! At […]

The workshop sessions are free, and have been taking place every day since Saturday the 17th, and will continue until this Friday, the 23rd. All materials will be provided, and […]

We refreshed and refreshed and never received your daily app! It’s okay. Between checking SSOL and picking apart Book Culture, you probably didn’t even have time to fill it out. But it’s Saturday now—no more excuses. We’ve decided to extend the deadline a week! Here’s the link to the application (you could do it while you’re in […]

Donald Trump finally admits that he believes Barack Obama was born in the United States — thanks for the validation! Now it must be true. (New York Times) Zika threat in Miami grows as the area of infected mosquitos triples. (CNN) Lady Gaga’s new album will be released in October. While the cover is just […]

As we settle into the new year, some of us have upgraded our housing from last year in different ways—including dropping our roommates. However, some people, like myself, have struggled with remembering a key fact: just because you don’t have a roommate doesn’t mean that no one is watching. My new single is so shafted […]

We hope you all had a great and sweaty time at the Activities Fair yesterday–we got ice pops from some Christians, which was nice! If you came by our table, you may have heard us talk about the Daily Editor position, which is one of the multiple ways to get involved with Bwog as a […]

On the list of campus projects completed over summer is the newly updated cafe in Lerner, now bearing the name “Cafe 212” only–bye, Cafe East! Boasting tall glass doors and an even taller digital display inside, the new cafe’s modern aesthetic is what we’ve been waiting for–the vibe is calming, brighter, and reminds us less […]

An Amish party was busted this weekend by Ohio cops after 75 teens were arrested for underaged drinking. (Newser) President Obama nominated Abid Qureshi to serve on the United States District Court bench, making Qureshi the first Muslim in history to receive this honor. (Huffington Post) The story doesn’t die with Pablo— Netflix’s Narcos will return […]

Tomorrow is your first day of class, and while you definitely have experience in the classroom, college classes are different. Your intro classes will probably be held in a lecture hall, your instructor is a professor now (not a teacher), and you can take notes on whatever you want (or not at all). But there’s […]

This weekend is full of lasts: last day of NSOP, last day of summer, last day to wear white. While the weather and freedoms of summer are slowly stripped from your reach, you have new beginnings to look forward to: eating pasta at Ferris, tripping on college walk, and climbing those damn hamilton stairs. Today is your […]

NSOP is the perfect time to get settled in your new neighborhood, which includes finding your favorite dealer. Deciding who to pick up from can be easy: Birth control? Duane Reade. Grapes? Westside Market. But for other drugs, like caffeine, the choice can be much more complex. During your time at Columbia, you will develop […]

Today is the fifth-going-on-fiftieth day of NSOP, and while your mandatory events and forced friendships seem to be killing you softly, don’t give up hope! Use this time to familiarize yourself with your campus, your peers, and your uni (seriously, memorize that ASAP). Other don’ts for the fifth day of NSOP: hook up with a floor-mate, visit home, use all […]
