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.

Obama is delaying his spring break. (NYT) New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo will take himself off the Paterson case. (NYT) Conan O’Brien has planned his comedy tour after leaving NBC (NYP) A sex toy dealer’s parties have drawn the attention of the cops. (Gawker)

Blow off some midterm steam and reward yourself with FREE chicken and waffles before you head off for spring break  from 9PM to 11PM in the Hartley Lounge!

We’ve heard that a Red Bull-promoting frat has been leaving gifts on doors in Hartley, John Jay, Broadway and EC. Thanks, but this may have been more useful a few days ago.

As you enjoy your last Saturday morning before Spring Break, Bwog offers you a glance into the future. Cartoons by Setenay Akdag and Abigail Santner

Bwog extends a warm welcome back to Columbians, all of whom we assume are facing the day with bleary eyes. Whether you were getting schwasted in Mexico like those people at other colleges or furiously applying to internships and trying to read the books you skipped so far this semester, coming back to school isn’t […]

Over the holiday bwog freelancer Kate Linthicum headed north with four friends and a loose agenda: rollick through Buffalo, Toronto and Montreal, make some art, and do it all for cheap. On Monday we packed ourselves into a borrowed van and fled the city. Goodbye thesis, goodbye job, goodbye anxieties about post-graduation life. In Poughkeepsie […]

For those of you who opted to stay put this spring break and work on your thesis, go to your internship, or just to  avoid seeing your parents, we’ve compiled (a continually updating) list of activities to keep you busy. * designates free. Tonight: Mountain Goats and the Moaners @ Webster Hall 3/18 $18. (Note: […]

Earlier this week, Bwog daily editor Jessica Cohen spoke with Douglas Brinkley, Professor of History at Tulane and official historian for CBS News. The New York Times recently named his book recounting the short-term aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, The Great Deluge, one of the 100 Notable Books of the Year.  Over spring break, Cohen and […]

Not everyone spent Spring Break in Jamaica. Below, Bwog editor Chris Szabla reports on his visit to cold – and contradictory – Istanbul. The train from the airport emerges into open air, weaves through tired concrete apartment blocks painted in worn pastels, occasionally grants glimpses between them of an endless, rolling cityscape of similarly dilapidated structures, all […]

Bwog coffeeshop reviewer Downing Bray took a break from caffeine this week in the Caribbean, and made it home to tell the tale. Her hazy memories follow. Jamaica, it seems, was the place to be this spring break. On this sunny island of white beaches and clear blue water, of abundant Red Stripe and weed, […]

It’s like news from a sinking ship: text messages, calls from borrowed cell phones, and internet cafe e-mails have been pouring in recently from those stranded in exotic spring break locales (including the ridiculous number congregating here). The nastiness outside in New York grounded over a thousand planes, foiling the homework plans and sinking the […]
