EyePoke: Your Summer Job

-Via employmentguide.com

Because the most important thing about your internship is what you wear...

...not what you do.

Good luck getting involved with journalism this summer...

...or trying to cope with living in Europe (the horror!)

EyePoke: Columbia Questions You May or May Not Ask Yourself

-Via the Eye

How does the Christian minority (also known as almost 80 percent of our country) do it?

Does John Jay Dining abuse animals? Trick question: you're an animal, so yes.

How is the Barnard dance department academic?

Why would Ben Folds do A Cappella?

Eyepoke: CU Stars

-Via The Eye
This edition of the Eye is all about stars and success stories here at Columbia. Feel free to grumble about it. Who looks at King Lear while doing math, anyway?

These Columbians juggle school and acting...all while being prettier than you.

Sarah Dooley is still "the coolest thing on YouTube."

These Columbians juggle school and professional ballet. Yup, still better looking than you.

It's PULL-it-ser, not PYUL-it-ser.

EyePoke: Columbia Imports

-Photo via The Eye

Columbia imports a student from the army...

...and a student who doesn't want the 'college experience.' Going to college is probably not the best way to accomplish that.

TV has unrealistic characters? That's not possible!

Plus, we're trying to bring in a linguistics program.

EyePoke: Tearful Eye

-Photo via the Eye

This edition of the Eye is all about depression and mental health, which makes Bwog feel guilty. Sorry that we were a little mean with last week's EyePoke, guys, but that's no reason to get upset. Want talk about it? Hug it out?

Former Spec Editor-in-Chief Tom Faure writes on depression.

Another piece on alcohol and psychiatric disorders.

...wait. Now the Eye is mocking its own depression. No more sympathy from us!

EyePoke: It Turns Out We Live in New York


Photo Via the Eye

The new Eye website is now (finally) up and running! Just in time for the Eye to realize we live in New York City.

So does city living affect our love lives? Didn't we already read about this?

City life allows us to overhear funny things. Is ripping off part of City life too?

Cramped spaces mean snooping on wireless networks.

Oh yeah, cool things sometimes happen here, too.

EyePoke: Hot Air Edition

The Eye website is still under construction, but you can access a pdf of this week's issue to find out about hot air powering everything from balloons to cartoon boys.

Columbia Grad students are charting the universe...with hot air balloons? (Pg. 4)

The Columbia boys are powered by hot air, at least in this cartoon. According to the drawing, Columbia boys also apparently descend from the Coneheads. (Pg. 5)

Our parents are full of it (I mean hot air, of course). Also worth reading for the reference to Will Smith as an "august bard." (Pg. 7)

Hot, sweaty air pervades Cuban cinema. (Pg. 11)

The rumble between art and the economy goes on and on (Pg. 14)

The Eye Web site is undergoing reconstruction, but Bwog still recommends these articles from the PDF, which will lead you to answer deep questions far too quickly.

Soul-searching for a major? Just read these interviews and you will know your path! (Pg. 8-12)

Is there going to be an apocalypse? No. (Pg. 4)

Do all 3-D movies suck? Yes. (Pg. 11)

EyePoke: Dead Tree, New Leaf Edition

Spectator has been having some internet troubles of late--Editor Tom Faure says they're "reconstructing" and "a little sloppy in the day to day stuff"--so Eye's front page is up, but not yet the articles. Meanwhile, it's the last issue for the magazine's current staff. Round of applause!

But always down for a little hipster introspection (page 5)

Somebody's media criticism paper run amok (pages 7-10)

Panning is fun (page 12)
