22 Things To Cross Off Your BGSU Bucket List

If you are a visitor, a student, or an alumni, Bowling Green State University is an easy place to fall in love with. With the beautiful campus and the small businesses that make you feel like you're at home, there are some things you should do before you leave this wonderful place.

1. Order a full order of Pollyeyes breadsticks.

You won't regret it.

2. Spend a full day at the Quarry.

There are many fun activities you can do all day.

3. Go for a grilled cheese after midnight at the Corner Grill.

It will be the best grilled cheese you've ever had.

4. Do Movie Day Tuesday at the theater for $3.

A movie for $3? Why not!?

5. Run through the fountains outside of the Administration building.

It is more fun that it sounds.

6. Hang out at the Doyt, our open football stadium.

It is a great place to get away from everyone.

7. Star gaze at the 50 yard line.

You'll never see the stars more clear in BG.

There may be sports you didn't know you liked.

It's something different and crazy fun.

Because you can.

11. Order every marg flavor at El Zarape.

They are all delicious.

They are scary delicious.

14. Attend at least one Spring Stampede.

It's cool to see all the sports teams come together.

15. Paint the rock.

It's a BG tradition.

16. Go on a bar crawl.

Did you really go to BG without one?

17. Learn the story and get a picture with SICSIC, Freddie and Frieda.

There is so much history behind each one.

18. Conquer a Dairy Queen massive blizzard.

You'll get way more than what you paid for.

Everyone knows Bobby. Buy a T-shirt!

It will be freezing, but it's worth it!

We all know the real name.

It is a rewarding and irreplaceable experience that you'll remember for a lifetime.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
