I would like to think of summer as an endless free time where I can sit by the beach and read books but dare I say, sometimes it does feel good to make the most of my time for the upcoming Fall semester.

Every start of the academic year, Bwog features places our writers call home throughout the summer. For me, that was my seven-hour flight, which felt more like a three-month sublet. 

Happy FDOC Barnumbia! It’s sunny, there was ice cream, and people shopped up to six classes.  How exhausting! It has some bwoggers reflecting on their summer months and what we did then!

Pack like a pro or go home... literally.

Maybe this time you’ll learn to blast good music from your speakers!

What Bwog plans to do as soon as the semester ends.

This summer, filming has started for Steven Spielberg’s new movie Pentagon Papers starring Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks. The film is about the Washington Post and their publishing of the Pentagon papers, detailing US involvement in the Vietnam War. And, today, they were filming on campus! Check out these shots we got of Meryl struttin’ her […]

Much like your peers, you may have taken a well-deserved, month-long, post-finals nap.  Perhaps you’re feeling disconnected from the Columbia community as of late.  Luckily, Bwog doesn’t sleep very much.   Broadway Lobby gets a grassy makeover for Summer! The sports season may be over for the Columbia Lions, but Lions Basketball star Brian Barbour and […]

Bwog is checking out for summer (unless something marvelously big happens that we simply must tell you about) as it is officially June, but first we’d like to give you a round-up of what’s been going on in the CU world these last two weeks.  It has definitely been a memorable semester and we hope you […]

Update, 7/25: Some people, mostly juniors, have gotten off the waitlist. If you’re one of the lucky ones (or one of the unlucky ones who still have no idea where you’ll be living in 2 months) let us know in the comments. Don’t panic! All through the summer, we’ll continue to answer your housing questions. […]

As you take refuge from the sweltering midsummer heat (or cold, if you’re super abroad) amidst frozen margaritas with friends or popsicles on a couch you haven’t left in three days, the world somehow manages to continue turning. Keep reading to find out in which direction.   Remember when J.P. Morgan lost more than $2 […]

History repeats itself, 2016. Prefrosh Facebook one another. Sometimes, they plan parties. This year, they’ve been inspired by Mean Girls, the 2004 teen comedy starring cute Lindsay Lohan. Those are pretty good quotes, to be fair, and these prefrosh clearly love the idea of Columbia. If only we could buy some of their enthusiasm on the street and […]

Whether to work an internship, catch up on credits, or avoid family, a significant portion of Columbia stays in NYC between academic years. A summer in the ‘hood allows students to see a different side of the city, one in which papers aren’t due tomorrow morning and a happy hour margarita at The Heights might actually serve to cool […]

Tea Magic wishes you a happy summer, no matter how dissimilar this season is with the last.

Love is in the air! Just look around you—sometimes you have to squint a little, but there’s magic in the minutiae. On  116th and Broadway: Girl: So do you love me or not? Guy: Right now I just have to take a massive dump. Coming out of a girls’ bathroom: Guy: I don’t understand what […]
