Bowling Green State University is a medium-sized, public university in northwest Ohio that comes with wind, corn, two falcon mascots that are always around campus, and a shared hatred for TSUN. Here are the ABCs of everything BGSU.

A is for Ay

The first word in the official fight song of BGSU

B is for Brown

One of our colors, and the one no one seems to like

C is for Corn

The crop that hides the university from the rest of Ohio

D is for Doyt

Doyt Perry Stadium, where you can see the football team lose every year

E is for Eppler

Eppler Complex, aka the most confusing building on campus

F is for Freddie & Frieda Falcon

Our beloved birds

G is for Greek Village

Greek life is abundant on campus, and the Greek Village is always having a fun time in the summer

H is for Howard's

A local bar where many small bands get their start

I is for Insomnia

Warm cookies, delivered straight to your door

J is for Jamba Juice

The line might be long and take forever, but its refreshing

K is for Kermit's

A local restaurant with the best breakfast in BG

L is for Lot 12

The literal worst

M is for Mazey (RIP)

Mary Ellen Mazey, the GOAT who we will miss

N is for Non-Stop Construction

Literally. When will it stop?

O is for Orange

The other color, that some people actually like

P is for Parking Services

We all hate them, and they always come around at the time you least expect them to

Q is for Quiet Hours

They all around suck and are enforced a little too seriously...especially 24 hours quiet hours

R is for Roll Along

...You BG Falcons, Roll along for BGSU!

S is for Stroh

Where you can watch basketball and volleyball tear it up

T is for Talons Up

*cue falcon screech*

U is for Uptown

The infamous "freshman" bar that is ALWAYS way too crowded

V is for Vice

The new bar!!!

W is for Wind

Literally there's more wind than Chicago, the windy city

X is for Xtra-Large Pizza

That you can get at Marco's with Falcon Dollars!!

Y is for Your home away from home

Even if it takes a few years for you to realize

Z is for Ziggy

Can't have Ay without Ziggy.... and Mazey's dog

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

5. Trying not to dress like a bum for your appointments with your advisors/department heads.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

10. Getting into a class and filling the last available seat.

11. When all of your classes finally go through.

12. Realizing that you forgot a class that was a pre-requisite for everything else.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

What is the current minimum wage at the federal level?

What are the benefits of raising the minimum wage?

What are the states that have set a $15/hour minimum wage?

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
