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

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!

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.
