All college campuses have things that make them unique. Aside from Boise State's blue football field, there are things that only Boise State students really understand. No matter what you did in college, when you turn your Tassel at graduation, these things will always remind you of being a Bronco.
1. Bronco Alerts.
Every time you get the phone call, then the text, and then the email saying there is an emergency on campus you get really excited because maybe something cool happened. When in reality, there was a chemistry lab accident. Really the only exciting thing that’s ever come out of Bronco Alerts is that they cancelled classes once.

2.The Greek-fest in the Innovation of Design room.
If you walk into the library during dead week, the tables are filled with Dutch cups and people in letters are all chatting instead of studying. If you happen to miss these memories, don’t worry, they posted it on their Snapchat stories. Every other time of the year, if you are looking to meet some cute frat guys, don’t fret, they are in the innovation room. If you ever need to find a sister, well she can't be far.
3. The Bell.
As a freshman, you quickly learned why you avoid the bell. Things get a little awkward when someone decides they need to ring it.
4. The BRC is only good because its free.
You get some freshman to swipe you into the BRC. In hindsight, you know you'll be spending all night with a stomachache, but you ate the soggy food anyways, because you have two dollars in your bank account.
5. Pie Hole is lit.
If you haven’t experienced Pie Hole at 2 a.m., are you really a Boise State student?
6. The annual Great Fratby Party.
You probably won’t remember it the next day, and you'll probably lose a few things, but your Snapstory will remind you of how lit it was.
7. Sometimes it's just better to not walk through the quad.
It’s a nice spring day and every club, frat, and sorority is on the quad handing you papers about their fundraiser that is coming up. Mixed in are preachers that are telling you about how you need more God in your life, the sunglasses probably gave that one away. Really the only way to survive is headphones and to look three feet ahead of you at all times.
8. Remember Yik Yak?
It was a mix of people complaining about their exes (let’s be honest we are all guilty of that), and people just wanting to hook up. Occasionally, there would be an address for a party but it always got rolled before you show up. Like all trends, it died. Really, who wants to anonymously talk to some weirdo, who doesn’t even go to BSU?
9. MIC.
If you were to mention this on another campus, people would ask you why you are spelling out "MIC." Really, you're just talking about the threat the Boise PD gives you every weekend.
10. The world's longest Subway line.
You get out of your class at 1:15 and head to the SUB to get a nice, warm Subway sandwich. It’s a nice little dream you have but in reality, you stand in line for another 30 minutes and by the time you reach the assembly line, you're weak from hunger and you really wish you would have just gotten Chick-fil-A.
11. Random massive amounts of high school students.
Every once in a while, the SUB is filled with little high school students, who are beyond excited about the fact they are on a college campus. Not to mention the fact that they make that subway line way longer and take all the good seats, it is the most annoying thing on the face of the Earth.
12. Dance Marathon.
Once a year, everyone crowds in the rec to dance for 17 hours to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network. It's tiring, but it’s one of the most rewarding things that you can do.
13. The unnecessary classes you are forced to take.
This one speaks for itself.
