You’ve been hoping, wishing, dreaming of this for so long. It feels as though time has moved at a glacial pace until this point. But now, in the lulls in conversations, in the seconds of silence, in the moments before you fall asleep. You hear him: James Franco. His voice rises from somewhere deep within you, and […]

The Board of Trustees of Barnard has just approved a tuition rate increase for next year. Tuition, fees, room and board for incoming first-years will be of $60,700;  higher than 2013-14 by 2.9%. The announcement e-mail, sent today to Barnard students, explains the reasoning for this raise: “In setting tuition, the College looks to a […]

It is the height of midterm season, and Bwog has to wonder… have you given up? Where is the debauchery, the fuck-it, the decisions  to stay out until 3am when your midterm is at 10am the next morning? If the fight is still alive and the war isn’t over, send in your battle plans and […]

Unless you’re one of the unlucky ones who has a lit hum essay due at midnight tomorrow (Mark Lilla, we’re looking at you) or a rescheduled midterm sometime this weekend, Bwog would like to wish you a drunken and unproductive relaxing spring break. To paraphrase the words of KSho, we “hope this break affords you […]

In the last few hours before it’s finally all over–at least for a week–Bwog defends drunkenly doing nothing in a place without Antarctic temperatures but with real bars. I’m going to Cancun for spring break. It’s a simple enough sentence, but every time I share with friends or with a class what my plans are […]

For those of you not hopping on the next plane to Puerto Rico for spring break, there’s no reason to stay locked in Morningside Heights for the next week. In fact, there’s no reason to stay in Manhattan at all. In defense of local attractions, the areas in and immediately around New York are not […]

Some of us may be visiting family, taking drugs and impregnating one another near the Caribbean, or just doing homework. But others are taking the break to spend a week exploring New York City, and Bwog hasn’t forgotten about them! Here’s our list of fun things to do during the free week. On Campus Tomorrow […]

The guinea pigs for Columbia’s pilot program of Alternative Spring Break: Performing Arts explored a small sampling of what non-profit New York theatre has to offer. One such guinea pig, Alex Katz, shares a conversation between himself and a fellow “traveler” about the utility of the program. While most of Columbia fled the city for […]

Naturally, everyone thinks of the tropical drinks of the Caribbean and Hawaii, but for those of us without the benefit of home cooking meals or schwanky resort fare, Spring Break also means JUNK FOOD and lots of it! This week’s Cooking with Bwog is Matt Powell’s gourmet guide to Spring Break survival, in three indulgent […]

For some, spring break is a time to go crazy. There are many ways and places to go crazy, but you might not have thought of the Columbia farmer’s market. Now you can! The great beasts are laying! Roaming Acres Ostrich Farm will have eggs! You can live the dream of being a sexy young […]

Bwog’s Wednesday feature, Where Art Thou?, is here to keep you posted on what’s going on in the A&E department in Morningside Heights and beyond (basically all the cool events your friends are in/on/at). If you would like to do a third production of the Vagina Monologues and have it posted on Bwog, now you […]

In light of that ever-approaching midterm grind–oh wait, it’s already here—we don’t blame you for spending hours every day fantasizing about the impending spring break madness that will commence in just 10 short days. We’re all guilty of it. One Bwogger even confessed to ordering a bikini and one of those giant floppy sun hats […]

BSchool professor Adam Dell is Padma’s babydaddy. At long last: beekeeping is legal in New York. GS student Sam Elchert is relieved. More on GS and the G.I Bill: GS student John McClelland talks to the BBC about his time as an Army medic. Generally Big Deal Person and History Professor David Eisenbach is writing […]

Bwog’s break starts for real tomorrow, so we’ve moved up our Saturday Morning Cartoons. This week’s come from the talented hand of Abigail Santner.
