18 Things All BGSU Students Know Too Well

Bowling Green State University is a school filled with learning inside and outside the classroom. Each student experiences different things throughout their time here on campus. Friendships are formed and created all over campus. Friends share a lot of inside jokes. All BGSU students can relate to these inside jokes about our school.

1. The definition of Bowling Green: A 4 year party with a $75,000 cover charge

Most students here go out and celebrate a hard week's work on the weekends. Going out gets you to meet new friends and have fun experiences. There isn't a lot to do on campus on the weekends, unless you have a car to go out and do something.

2.This NIGHTMARE...

BG always makes student change their passwords. Go ahead students, hack into my account and do my homework, I will be really upset, NOT!

3. Some students go to church 3 days a week

Everyone knows what I'm talking about if you are a student that goes out on the weekends. You probably know what I'm talking about if you have snapchat and see random people singing old 90's songs.

4.Falcon Flame? More like falcon LAME! (just kidding i'm forever alone)

The seal in the middle of campus is supposed to be a magical place at midnight for couples to go and kiss at midnight. Legend is, if you and your significant other go and "seal" your love at this place, you will be lovers forever.

5. This Second NIGHTMARE

Most students that live by the oaks will understand this place is a nightmare to walk across, especially on the weekends. Who thought it would be a good idea to put these grooves in the ground?

6. LOT 12

Sometimes walking to lot 12 is a bigger workout than actually going to the gym. This lot is so big and far from a lot of things on campus. No one feels like loosing their spot either, especially if your car is close to your dorm room.

7. The Death Chair

These chairs get to be very scary. If one leans back just a little bit, you will feel like you are about to fall. chances are freshman year you have taken a tumble in this chair with people watching.

8. Metamorphosis

This famous rock often is told it looks like female genitalia. no student really knows why it's here, but it sure does make our campus unique.

9. The best parties are...SHOWER PARTIES

Some of the dorms on campus have communal bathrooms. It's always fun to blast music and have someone to talk and sing with while you are all in your own separate showers. This is also another way to bond with friends.

10. The infamous rivalry between BG and TSUN (that school up north, that no one dares to say its name)

11. The Cookie Jar Vs. Insomnia Cookies

Which cookie place is better? The Cookie Jar or Insomnia Cookies? The city of BG will never know. everyone has different opinions on which place is better. Let's face the real facts, they are all cookies and cookies are good! So why argue about the best cookies when we could be eating them.

12. The union at lunch time is a straight up nightmare

Everyone is in the mood for lunch and has time for food at this time. The union becomes packed with people all trying to get food.

13. Ay Ziggy Zoomba

This is the unofficial fight song of BGSU. No one knows what it means, but we love to say it! This is our school's hype fight song that gets everyone in the mood for game day!

14. Fire drills...a horrible wake up call

Fire drills are bound to happen. It's pretty horrible when you are in the shower and the alarm goes off right as you're rinsing shampoo out of your hair. Trust me, I would know from experience. Also standing outside at 3 a.m. with people in your building in the middle of winter will get you to make friends with the person who decided to bring a blanket outside and be the smart, warm one.

15.Hungry after a night out? Taco Bell's got your back

Coming back from a wonderful night out can get you a little hungry. What is one place that is open that college kids can afford and is on the way home? TACO BELL!!

16. TORNADO? NO, that's just the regular wind here

The wind in BG is ridiculous. It will blow you everywhere. Want to have a good hair day, well...BG tells you "NOPE, NOT TODAY!".

17. The Squirrels!

The squirrels are sometimes so human like. They come up to anyone and everyone scaring the crap out of people that don't appreciate "wild" animals all up close and personal with them. the squirrels will eat anything they can find and often one can find them in the trashcans around BG.

18. 8ams are not fun, period


This is the exact expressions and actions that people perform when sitting in an 8 a.m. Especially on a Monday or Friday. 8ams are great because you can start your day early and often end your day pretty early, but waking up for them is the real struggle.

We love our school and wouldn't change the silly things about it! GO FALCONS!!

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

The 5 Painfully True Stages Of Camping Out At The Library

For those long nights that turn into mornings when the struggle is real.

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

winter

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
